<p>Here is a unique opportunity to visit the great figures of the past on often momentous occasions in history, as they flick open their napkins and reach for the menu at some of the grandest banquets ever conceived. A rich collection of menu cards from historical feasts forms the basis of this journey back to an age of excess, via wartime culinary quirks and unusual gourmet delights, where kings and princes dined in style and politicians and presidents entertained one another with the fashionable food of the time. A Taste of the Past offers: * A unique insight into the sumptuous spectacle accompanying banqueting since the eighteenth century * Beautifully illustrated with historic menu cards collected form real events * Fascinating background and sample recipes * A glimpse into the unguarded world of the great and the good The menus themselves are delightfully decorated, and beautifully made. There is great variety in this book, from royal weddings to dinner at the captain's table, all brought to life with background information and featured recipes for one or two dishes in each chapter that the reader can re-create. Having sampled the lifestyle of the great and the good, readers too can dine like the world leaders of the past!</p>

'I am not a high shopper,' said La Senora. 'In fact I may even call myself a medium-low shopper. I only buy what I need. The trouble is, I need everything.'The truth of these words all too soon becomes apparent to John Lane after he arrives for a six-week stay as adviser to the Ladies' Health Care Clinic, Lima, a private clinic built by La Senora Pandora del Teodosia Zapallo-Chupado Palermo Bonomini to provide an appropriate setting for her highly qualified husband Dr. Hermogenes. 'Our clinic is mainly for the expecting woman,' La Senora explains. But alas, as yet there is no lift between the delivery room and the wards, so business is limited.As the Clinic staggers from financial difficulty to total insolvency, the author finds himself caught up in the rhythms of Peruvian life, attending bullfights with Dr. Hermogenes who is an aficionado, accompanying La Senora to the weddings and funerals of her large extended family and on her whirlwind shopping expeditions to various interesting parts of Peru, while in the background the chaotic Presidential elections rumble on. Punctuated by increasingly desperate attempts to refinance the Clinic, his stay extends for beyond the original six weeks.John Lane's hilarious account of life with the irrepressible Senora and the unconventional staff of the Clinic opens a unique window on Peruvian society and politics.

When John Lane arrived for a six-week stay as adviser to the Ladies' Health Care Clinic of Lima, he expected his work would soon be done. But he was still to find himself there almost two years later...'Our clinic is mainly for the expecting woman', La Senora explained. But as yet there was no lift between the delivery room and the wards, so business was limited. As the Clinic staggered from financial difficulty to total insolvency, the author found himself caught up in the rhythms of Peruvian life, and in La Senora's whirlwind shopping expeditions to various parts of Peru. John Lane's account of life with the irrepressible Senora and the unconventional staff of the Clinic opens a unique window on Peruvian politics, society and culture.
