British Grub by Brian Murphy Determined Productions, Inc. 1969
Title: British Grub
Author: Brian Murphy
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Determined Productions, Inc. 1969
Size: 5.5 X 5.75 * 66 pages
Synopsis: AI Overview: This book features recipes for classic British dishes, playfully presented with psychedelic-style illustrations by John Astrup and Eric Hill. The book gives Americans a nostalgic, and at times humorous, glimpse into British cuisine from the 1960s.
The synopsis of the vintage cookbook includes:
*A curated collection of British recipes: The book includes traditional recipes such as Shepherd's Pie, Yorkshire Pudding, Fish and Chips, Lancashire Hotpot, Scotch eggs, and Jellied Eels. It even provides instructions for "the proper way to brew a nice cuppa'".
*Psychedelic illustrations: The cooking instructions are accompanied by colorful, bold, and whimsical illustrations that reflect the counter-culture aesthetic of the late 1960s.
*Humorous tone: The book was published by a San Francisco-based company, offering a kind of exotic look at traditional British food for an American audience. A contemporary review humorously noted that you might need to be "staving hungry like the boys Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist" to appreciate some of the dishes.
*Cultural commentary: Beyond simply a cookbook, the work offers insight into mid-century British culinary traditions, which were widely viewed as bland at the time. It is a satirical yet fond look at the iconic comfort foods of the era.
