Book review: Spicing Up Britain
Panikos Panayi's Spicing Up Britain: The Multicultural History of British Food was reviewed in the June 1st issue of the Washington Times. Reviewer Martin Rubin gives the book a good review, concluding
Wearing his twin hats of foodie and social historian, Panikos Panayi can appall as well as engender salivation on his tour d'horizon of the multicultural history of British food. His book demonstrates convincingly that whether drawing on its former colonial and imperial possessions (including the United States, with its ever- popular hamburger and other fast foods) or on its European neighbors, the openness of British society has truly enriched its diet and produced its present-day variegated cuisine.
