English cuisine encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with England.
It has distinctive characteristics of its own, but also shares much with wider British cuisine,
partly through the importation of ingredients and ideas from North America, China, and India
during the time of the British Empire and as a result of post-war immigration. Traditional meals
have ancient origins, such as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies,
boiled vegetables and broths, and freshwater and saltwater fish. The 14th-century English
cookbook, The Forme of Cury, contains recipes for these, and dates from the royal court of
Richard II. English cooking has been influenced by foreign ingredients and cooking styles since
the Middle Ages. Curry was introduced from the Indian subcontinent and adapted to English
tastes from the eighteenth century with Hannah Glasse’s recipe for chicken “currey". French
cuisine influenced English recipes throughout the Victorian era. After the rationing of the Second
World War, Elizabeth David's 1950 A Book of Mediterranean Food had wide influence, bringing
Italian cuisine to English homes. Her success encouraged other cookery writers to describe other
styles, including Chinese and Thai cuisine. England continues to absorb culinary ideas from all
over the world.
