AT CHRISTMAS WE FEAST: FESTIVE FOOD THROUGH THE AGES (PB)

For many people Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a turkey and trimmings, pudding and brandy butter. And yet it wasn't always that way. Historian Annie Gray digs into the evolution of our festive meal, from the birth of the twelve-day celebration under Edward I and the restoration of holiday splendour under Victoria to the present day. Organised by festive dish and illustrated throughout, At Christmas We Feast is a delectable trip through time - stuffed full of classic recipes, doused with history and tradition, and sprinkled with the joy of the feasts of Christmas past.
