Book Review: Menus That Made History, by Alex Johnson and Vincent Franklin
This book has a similar title to The Course of History, but where that book is focused on a small number of defined historic events, this book is more wide-ranging and relaxed in its interpretations. Not all of the meals are documented - some are vague inferences from ancient or classical history - and some are expressly fictional (The Wind in the Willows), but it's a fun read and there are some interesting examples. Travelling fare is well catered for, with menus for the Orient Express, the Titanic (first, second and third class), and the Hindenburg. A handful of recipes are included, and they all look practicable, but it's probably not itself for the kitchen shelf.
