Only in recent years have modern kitchen conveniences become taken for granted all over Britain. British cooking has also made tremendous strides lately, and the changes in shopping and food options, preparation, restaurant-going, and diet are detailed. The cooking traditions and classic dishes for which Britain is known are described as well, as they still help to define the people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCommercialization and globalization are shown to characterize British foodways today. For instance, Britain's regionalism is eroding. Health and environmental issues such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy have come to the fore. Television cook shows are all the rage. Women working outside the home and the increase in single-parent households fuel the demand for quick and pre-prepared meals. The trends are well supported by statistics. A timeline, glossary, and resource guide enhance the narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Mason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 031332798X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313327988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.36w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 620","brand":"Laura Mason","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057843204351,"sku":"9780313327988","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83ecb9b2-a90a-44ca-bb45-e06d96f29f05.jpg?v=1685049187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-culture-in-great-britain-laura-mason-9780313327988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
