About this product
Product Information
Virgil said that a taverna had three muses: Venus (love), Bromius (fun) and Ceres (food). Foodies have squeezed the fun out of restaurants; for them, food isn't a passion, it's a fashion. Businessmen have commoditised eating out, and angry chefs replaced the love of the great maitre d's and waiters of yesteryear. James Pembroke believes our attitudes to eating in public reveal more about the development and nature of our society, than how and what we consume in the privacy of our homes. Restaurants mirror our history and our economic ups and downs: the French aristocracy never ate in public and lost their heads; ours did, and kept theirs. By combining a personal memoir of an eccentric upbringing with a history of eating out in Britain from the Romans to the present day, James Pembroke has written a hugely entertaining yet informative book, which belongs as much in the kitchen as alongside more pious tomes in the library.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
