The Country House Kitchen Garden by C Anne Wilson
The role and function of the country house kitchen garden has not ceased to be of interest to many people in the 21st century, and attempts to recreate them in modern gardens continue unabated. Visitors to historic houses are fascinated by what fruit and vegetables were provided and how they were grown and stored. Including many contemporary illustrations and drawing on archives, gardening manuals, seed catalogues, engravings and other documents, this book provides a vivid picture of the country house kitchen garden and its development over three and a half centuries.
C.Anne Wilson is the editor of Luncheon, Nuncheon and Other Meals (Sutton,1994) and is the founder, with Peter Brears and Lynette Hunter, of the Leeds Symposium on Food History.
