Summary
'Bingeable' – The Telegraph
'A book for our time' – The Spectator
'[Barnett's] an indefatigable researcher' – The Mail on Sunday
A richly entertaining and topical history of food preservation and waste in Britain from the Elizabethan kitchen to the present day.
At a time when a third of the food we produce globally is wasted, Eleanor Barnett opens a window on the everyday experiences of ordinary people in the past to reveal how factors such as religion, class and gender have historically shaped attitudes towards food waste.
Leftovers deploys a wide historical lens to link the many ingenious ways in which our ancestors sought to extend the life of food – encompassing Tudor household management, Victorian public health initiatives and two World Wars – to such contemporary anxieties as climate change, globalisation, scientific advancement, poverty and inequality.
