This is a biography of the English breakfast, a culinary
detective story and a cookbook rolled into one. It tells the
often-surprising tale of the English breakfast and presents
authentic facsimile Victorian and Edwardian recipes and
menus for forgotten breakfast and sideboard delights from
the heyday of this best of all meals, by four celebrated
culinary figures of the period -- Georgiana Hill who catered
for the grandest houses, the pukka colonial Colonel
Kenney-Herbert, the galloping 'Major L' who rode to hounds
and ran with the hunting set, and the bright and bustling
Miss M. L. Allen, a paragon among housekeepers. Including
six hundred and fifty recipes along with menu plans and
instructions for breakfast table settings, this is a
cracking good culinary read. Experienced cooks can use the
recipes with little difficulty, inexperienced cooks can
begin with the simpler recipes of which there are many, and
those interested in social and culinary history can use the
cookbooks as texts.
