Dining with the Victorians : a delicious history
Kay, Emma (Historian)2018
Books
From traditional seaside holiday treats like candy floss, ice cream and fish 'n' chips, to the British fascination for cooking and baking, the Victorian era has shaped British culinary heritage. Victoria's austere attitude after an age of Regency indulgence generated enormous cultural change. Excess and gluttony were replaced with rigid tradition and morally upright values, and Victoria's large family became the centre of the cultural imagination, with the power to begin new traditions. Journey through Britain's food history with Emma Kay and discover the fascinating, gruesome and wonderful culinary traditions of the Victorians.
