From the arrival of Italian ice-cream vendors to the rise of the Indian curry as the national dish, 'Spicing Up Britain' uncovers the fascinating history of British food over the last 150 years. The author (himself the child of Greek Cypriot immigrants) argues that a combination of immigration, increased wealth and globalisation has transformed the eating habits of the British.
