1990s

Episode 5 of 6

Historical cooking show. The Robshaw family enter the 90s. Giles Coren and food historian Polly Russell introduce them to the culinary treats of the era.

The Robshaw family enter the 90s. It might sound recent, but the years that have elapsed since 1990 soon become obvious - from John Gummer encouraging his daughter to take a bite out of a beef burger to the triumphant growth of the mammoth out-of-town superstore and the arrival of new kid on the block Jamie Oliver.

The family start the decade delighting in the vast quantities of food now available from around the globe - but soon realise there are definite downsides to the previous decades' drive towards cheaper and cheaper food.

Presenter Giles Coren and food historian Polly Russell introduce them to the culinary treats of the era - from bagged salad and cook-in sauces to organic veg boxes and the gastro pub, while 90s TV stars Fern Britton, Brian Turner, Malcolm Gluck, Delia and Jamie all remind them how food and drink came to dominate the TV schedules of the decade.
