Repast : the story of food

Linford, Jenny2025
Books, Manuscripts
A deliciously fascinating, expertly written global tour of cooking, eating and drinking, told through objects in the collections of the British Museum. Our insatiable appetite for creativity in the kitchen - or around the open fire - is reflected in the fascinating array of objects explored in this book. Authored by food writer Jenny Linford in consultation with curators from the British Museum, 'Repast' focuses on artefacts in the museum's collections - from ancient clay cooking vessels to exquisite gold goblets - spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Australasia, from prehistory to the present day.
