Stotty 'N' Spice Cake

'Stotty 'n' Spice Cake' brings together regional recipes, dialect, social history and kitchen technology to give us an insight into how kitchen skills, tools and diets have developed. Bill Griffiths takes us on a journey through cooking history - from the griddle on an open fire and the 'beehive' oven to the widely used, much loved and polished kitchen range (th' yuven). This book describes the changing tastes - as well as changes in supplies of meat, fish, and grain over the years to include traditions such as the popularity of oatcakes, broth, and bread.
