Folk Cookery from the English Countryside

Folk Cookery from the English Countryside

In her new book, The Lost Folk, the author Lally Macbeth examines the role folk culture has played in our history. She argues, too, that we should embrace it anew, as a unifying force, in our fractured times. In this excerpt from the book she recounts the stories of Barbara Jones and Florence White. Both of these were gifted collectors who found deep meaning in everyday English food.
