Hiya of us! Only a very fast put up to allow you to all know that the fourth season my podcast – The British Meals Historical past Podcast – is underway and the primary two episodes are prepared so that you can obtain and take heed to.

In episode 1, I speak to journalist and meals author Felicity Cloake concerning the Nice British breakfast. Pay attention right here:

We discuss how breakfast may be the one factor uniting all four nations that make up the UK, the complexities of planning a nation-wide breakfast tour, accidents, why it’s okay to love each crimson and brown sauce, in addition to neither, the significance of pudding on a fried breakfast, regional specialities and recipe writing.

In episode 2, my visitor is historian and buddy of the present Emma Kay. At the moment we discuss Emma’s new e-book A Historical past of Herbalism: Cook dinner, Treatment & Conjure which was revealed in June 2022. Pay attention right here:

We speak concerning the significance of herbs in drugs, magic and meals, and the way this stuff had been interconnected, the 4 humours, Anglo-Saxon medical texts, the double requirements surrounding women and men who practised magic and drugs, two feminine pioneers of botany and herbalism, and narcotic backyard greens.
