Modern British Food

On modern British food, a whole new book can be written. Celebrity chefs like the rockstar-looking Marco Pierre White and British food advocate Gary Rhodes brought a breath of fresh air to modern British food in the nineties. Pubs started to offer great food and the gastropub phenomenon took off. In one of these gastropubs a young Jamie Oliver was helping out his parents in the kitchen for pocket money. At the turn of the millennium, Oliver became a new force in British food and showed his pride and belief in the nation’s gastronomy. He took people by storm worldwide with his new and fresh way of doing things and became the change British food was waiting for. British food was on its way to becoming cool again.
