British food used to suffer from a bad reputation. The British cuisine was knocked back by war rationing which lasted until 1853. This left a generation who had had to cook on basic rations.
In the 1980's though a revolution took place. Well trained Australian chefs came to Britain as part of the traditional year out. Pub food improved with fresh produce and good small restuarants started to thrive. At the top end of the market Nouvelle Cuisine came in from France and added a high level of haute cuisine.
By the end of the 1990's London was one if not the top place to eat in the world, and the further success of The Fat Duck being voted the top retaurant in the world added more credibilty to British food.
Today Gordon Ramsey and Jamies Oliver can be seen on TV sets around the world. Jamie Oliver inspired a new young male generation to get into the kitchen and food as a trendy passtime grows and grows.
In this series of British food photographs we have concentrated on traditional British food. The sunday roast was a classic post war dish. It brought families together every Sunday to sit down and talk to each other. The best Yorkshire pudding recipe is always hotly contested and is an essential part of the roast dinner.
You will also find food photos of crumpets, bake beans and food photos of classic full British Breakfasts.
