This biography of the English breakfast shows how the renowned meal came into being over many centuries, reaching its height in the Victorian and Edwardian eras when splendid breakfasts were served from silver dishes in grand country houses across the land. Following this historical analysis are three authentic and complete cookbooks devoted entirely to breakfasts from the heyday of this best of all meals, with some 500 recipes by three celebrated cuilnary figures of the Victorian age -- an elite hostess, a thrifty housekeeper, and a pukka colonial colonel - before the narrative continues up to the present.
