At Christmas we feast : festive food through the ages
Gray, Annie (Food historian)2021
Book
For many people Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a turkey and trimmings, pudding and brandy butter. But where do our traditions come from - and when modern writers 'reinvent' the Christmas meal, are they really doing anything so very different? Annie Gray presents a delectable trip through time, from the earliest mentions of gluttonous meals at Christmas to the trappings and traditions of the present day. Tracing the birth of the twelve-day celebration under Edward I to the restoration of holiday splendour under Victoria, 'At Christmas We Feast' is organised by festive dish, and features classic recipes alongside vibrant cultural and historical context.
