The British have been baking for centuries.Here,for the first time,is a comprehensive account of how our relationship with this much-loved art has changed,evolved and progressed over time. Renowned food historian and author,Emma Kay,skilfully combines the related histories of Britain's economy,innovation, technology,health,cultural and social trends with the personal stories of many of the individuals involved with the whole process: the early pioneers,the recipe writers,the cooks,the entrepreneurs.The result is a deliciously fascinating read,one that will prove to be juicer than the juiciest of juicy baked goods.
