Synopsis
Sample the best of British with this one-stop guide to traditional British fare. Pies, roasts, casseroles and teatime treats - all the old favourites are here. Take inspiration from Soups, Starters and Snacks, and make a Leek and Potato Soup to warm you up on a cold winter's day. Tuck into an authentic Fish Supper from the Fish chapter and imagine yourself on a windy pier on the southern coast of England. Poultry and Game is full of hearty main courses. Nothing beats a Traditional Roast Turkey complete with all the trimmings or some succulent Marinated Roast Venison. For an unbeatable Meat dinner, devote some time to making a favourite Sunday lunch - Rolled Pork Roast. No wholesome meal would be complete without something On the Side. Try some crunchy Roast Potatoes or Yorkshire Puddings. End your authentic dinner with a comforting Bread and Butter Pudding from the Desserts chapter. Then for Teatime - the epitome of British culinary tradition - make some Scones with Clotted Cream and Strawberry Jam. Finally, fill your Pantry with essentials, such as Plum Chutney and Lemon Curd.

Customer Reviews

Less is more
A friend who works as a carer recommended this book to me. She needs to produce simple, appetizing meals for old people as part of her profession. Ryland Peters & Small have put together a brilliant guide to the much underrated British cuisine. Each dish is accompanied by a photograph of the highest quality to show what the dish looks like, and unlike online resources there are no references to unobtainable ready made brand substitutes. If you are going to have only one book in your cooking library, this is the one I would recommend.
