Modern British Cuisine




However, it is not generally a Historicist movement, although there are some efforts to re-introduce pre-twentieth-century recipes. Ingredients not native to the islands, particularly Herb s and Spice s, are frequently introduced to traditional dishes (echoing, perhaps not always intentionally, the highly spiced nature of much British food in the medieval era).

Much Modern British cooking also draws heavily on influences from the cuisines of the Mediterranean and, more recently, southeast Asia. The influence of northern and central European cuisines is significantly slighter.

The Modern British style of cooking emerged as a response to the perceived poor quality of British cuisine following the Second World War , and the resulting popularity of foreign cuisine in Britain in decades that followed.
