Prehistoric Cooking - Jacqui Wood - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Prehistoric Cooking - Jacqui Wood - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

If you imagine that our ancient forbears ate weak gruel, some meat, and bread so hard that it was practically inedible, Jacqui Wood''s study and recreation of ancient cooking methods and recipes will be a revelation. Based on experimental archaeology at the author''s world-famous research settlement in Cornwall, this book describes the ingredients of prehistoric cooking and the methods of food preparation. A general overview of the lifestyle of our prehistoric ancestors is followed by detailed sections (plus cookbook-style recipes) on: bread; dairy foods; meat, fish and vegetable stews; cooking with hot stones; clay-baked food; salt and the seashore menu; peas, beans and lentils; herbs and spices; vegetables; yeast, wine, beer and teas; sweets and puddings. At the end of the book you will realise that a barbecue in the summer need not be sausages on a gas cooker; it could be fish wrapped in grasses and clay, baked in a fire pit at the end of the garden, followed by sweet fruit, seaweed jelly and washed down by Neolithic wine.

Food and Feast in Medieval England - P. W. Hammond - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Food and Feast in Medieval England - P. W. Hammond - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this unique and fascinating book Peter Hammond examines the extraordinary range of food which found its way onto the tables of medieval English society, its production and distribution. Although bread, ale, meat and fish were staples, fish often came from as far away as Iceland, and as early as 1480 over 100,000 oranges were being imported to augment the English diet. Every aspect of medieval food is described here from hunting, fish-breeding, brewing and baking to hygiene, storage and the way in which the food supply of a large household was organised. The nutritional value of the food is evaluated in order to consider how well fed the people were, and there are details of the elaborate regulations that existed on the serving of food in great households. The book concludes with an examination of medieval feasts, such as that held at York on 26 December 1251, which took six months to prepare and saw the consumption of no fewer than than 68,500 loaves of bread, 170 boars and 25,000 gallons of wine. Firmly based on archaeological and documentary evidence, this book provides a fascinating introduction to a vital but often neglected topic of medieval life.

The Story of the Fens - Frank Meeres - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Story of the Fens - Frank Meeres - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, as well as Peterborough City Council, all lay claim to a part of the Fens. Since Roman times, man has increased the land mass in this area by one third of the size. It is the largest plain in the British Isles, covering an area of nearly three-quarters of a million acres and is unique to the UK. The fen people know the area as marsh (land reclaimed from the sea) and fen (land drained from flooding rivers running from the uplands). The Fens are unique in having more miles of navigable waterways than anywhere else in the UK. Mammoth drainage schemes in the seventeenth and eighteenth changed the landscape forever – leading slowly but surely to the area so loved today. Insightful, entertaining and full of rich incident, here is the fascinating story of the Fens .

Maritime Portsmouth - Dr Paul Brown - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Maritime Portsmouth - Dr Paul Brown - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For three centuries Portsmouth has been the leading base of the Royal Navy, although its history as a port can be traced back to Roman times. From the Roman walls at Portchester to the best preserved Georgian dockyard in the world, and HMS Victory the most illustrious survivor from the sailing navy, Portsmouth can lay claim to being the most important naval site in the UK and, perhaps, the world. Certainly, no other dockyard can claim to be as complete and to have as varied a selection of buildings from all periods as Portsmouth. Of course, it is not just the port''s naval heritage that is important. The town is one of the major ferry ports of the UK, with services to Gosport, the Isle of Wight and France. Shipbuilding is also important, with Vosper Thorneycroft still building vessels at the port. Maritime Portsmouth is an invaluable guide to this most historic of ports.

Flying Past: A History of Sheppey Aviation - David T. Hughes - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Flying Past: A History of Sheppey Aviation - David T. Hughes - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Isle of Sheppey in north Kent was the birthplace of aviation in the UK and early pioneers, including the Wright Bros and Charles Rolls, gathered on its low, flat ground to undertake experimental flights. By 1909 the Short bros had established the first British aircraft factory and from there events snowballed. By 1911 the first naval aviators began training at nearby Eastchurch, which site became the first Royal Naval Air Station. Its popular first course had over 200 volunteers for just 4 places. The station served with distinction in the war that soon followed, as it did again through WW2, until its closure in the late 1940s. This year aviation enthusiasts will flock to Sheppey to celebrate the centenary of British aviation, enjoying the flypasts and displays of 25 vintage aircraft and other vehicles. This book serves as a timely reminder of the island''s great contribution to the story of flight in the UK.

Women of the Foreign Office - Richard Warburton - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Women of the Foreign Office - Richard Warburton - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Since the suffrage campaigns in the early twentieth century, the advancement of women’s rights in the UK has been nonstop. Proponents of the cause have aimed for equality across all sectors: personal and civil rights, employment rights, equal pay – and yet Britain’s first official female ambassador did not take up her position until 1976. Many obstacles lay between a capable, educated woman and the fulfilment of her potential. Here, Elizabeth and Richard Warburton cast a detailed eye over the advancement of women in the Foreign Office, as diplomats, ambassadors, ministers and Foreign Secretary. Leaving no stone unturned, they discuss the culturally conservative, closed pillar of the Foreign Office in the context of the times, and of the development of women’s rights both in the UK and across the first world. Supported by first-person accounts, they explore the stories of those who successfully broke through the constraints of convention, prejudice and law, and why.

Blogging from the Battlefield - Major Paul Smith - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Front Line Bloggers – Afghanistan and Helmand Blog – Afghanistan (now combined as UK Forces Afghanistan) were established by the MoD to allow UK armed forces personnel to tell the public back home what they were doing there, in their own words. Officers, NCOs and other ranks representing a wide variety of units – infantry, artillery, signals, logistics, aviation, medical – contribute their thoughts and experiences on everything from what it’s like to take on the Taliban in a firefight to the difficulties of trying to eat well at a patrol base. These personal accounts give a picture of the conflict at ground level, the details of daily life that usually do not make the news, as well as individuals’ perspectives on major events. Some of the bloggers have even been asked to contribute to the Radio 4 Today Programme and Channel 4 News. With the war in Afghanistan in the news almost constantly, this is a timely book which tells the real story of what it’s like for our troops on the ground.

A Crocodile in the Fernery - Dr Twigs Way - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Crocodile in the Fernery - Dr Twigs Way - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Perhaps one of the less known facts about the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti is that he kept wombats in his garden at Cheyne Walk, London, to whom he and Christina addressed poetry (he also kept zebu - a type of cattle). This is just one of the stories in this entertaining book, which brings together two of the Englishman''s great loves: animals and the garden. Taking the reader on a journey from the armadillos owned by merchants in the City of London in the 18th century and nourished on garden earthworms, to Queen Charlotte''s zebra, which was accommodated close to her house at Buckingham Gate and renowned for its filthy temper - perhaps caused by nicotine addiction: it was fed on bread, meat and tobacco - here are quirky tales of animals in the garden through the centuries.

Syndrome K - Christian Jennings - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Syndrome K - Christian Jennings - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Syndrome K is the story of how 80 per cent of Italy’s Jews escaped the Holocaust, with the help of their fellow countrymen, the Allies and even some Germans. From claiming sanctuary in the Vatican to pitched battles by partisans, and even inventing a highly contagious ‘Jewish disease’, it was an ingenious, covert and complicated effort – and one that saved the lives of thousands of people. Drawing on original archive material from Italy, Germany, the Vatican City, Switzerland, the UK and US, acclaimed historian Christian Jennings tells the whole story in English for the first time.

PS Waverley - Ian Quinn - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1947, one of the last paddle steamers built in the UK entered service on the Clyde. She was the PS Waverley , now famous as the world''s last sea-going paddler.

Alistair Deyton and Iain Quinn take us on a nostalgic trip through sixty years of Waverley history.

Catherine Rothwell has gathered together over 130 traditional Cornish recipes in her latest book.

Tasting the Past: Recipes from George III to Victoria - Jacqui Wood - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Tasting the Past: Recipes from George III to Victoria - Jacqui Wood - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The many influences of the past on our diet make the concept of ‘British food’ very hard to define. The Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans each brought ingredients to the table, and the country was introduced to all manner of spices following the Crusades. The Georgians enjoyed a new level of excess and then, of course, the world wars forced us into the challenge of making meals from very little. The history of cooking in Britain is as tumultuous as the times its people have lived through. Tasting the Past: Recipes from George III to Victoria documents the rich history of our food, its fads and its fashions, combined with a practical cookbook of over eighty recipes from the reigns of George III and Queen Victoria. Jacqui Wood introduces the meals that made up the bread-and-butter of Victorian and Georgian cuisine, their seasonal specialities in the form of Christmas recipes, and the curious take on ‘Indian’ cooking that the imperial endeavours of the Victorians brought back home.
