  This book is part of a history series aimed at readers of five years and upwards. The series uses oral history, archive photographs and colour ephemera to bring to life social history over the last century. Using the link of four generations of the same family, the past is explored by topic in terms of how everyday life has changed, or stayed the same over this period. The books bring the topic up-to-date by finishing on the experiences of the five-year-old child in the family. This book looks at how food was cooked in the past, compared to today, who did the cooking and whether they used an oven, aga or open fire as well as what other cooking equipment was available. This book has been developed in line with Key Stage 1 of the History National Curriculum.
