This title traces the development of handmade pots used for cooking in Britain from the beginning of the 20th century. Clay pots from Morocco, South America, Spain and India, casseroles, baking dishes, together with many humble pots such as cutlery drainers, colanders and lemon squeezers are all celebrated in this book. With special features illustrating potters at work, this book show how leading makers create their handmade pots in step-by-step sequences. Practical guidance is given on how to cook with handmade pottery, and for potters there is information about clay bodies and firing pots.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pots in the Kitchen., 19 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This comprehensive and lavishly illustrated history of the cooking pot in all its guises is a must for both the potter and cook alike.
Josie Walter traces the development of the cooking pot from Roman times through to Medieval, Victorian and Edwardian Europe and eventually on to look at the studio pottery movement of the Twentieth century.
I certainly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the social history of food and the way that advances in cooking technology and economic development influenced both the food we eat and the pots we cook it in.
Beautifully written and illustrated.
