The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
BOTANICAL ART AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DELICIOUS FOOD

2022-

The United Kingdom made great strides as the British Empire from the 18th to the 19th century, the period in which this exhibition is mainly set. At the same time, the rapid urbanization of the country led to changes in the food culture. As the UK developed, people become interested in cuisine and imported food including exotic plants come to the table as well, which we could realize by the publication of tableware and a wide variety of recipes.
