So far I’ve reviewed Mark Hix on cooking with British produce, The Great British Food Revival aiming to make us look anew at our local food and finally with Food Britannia you have the book to tell you what there is available and crucially where to find it. Supplemented with essays on local food, interviews with producers, recipes and regional dishes, a beautifully produced book that will be a must for anyone serious about the food they put on the table.
Like for Like Reading:
British Food: An Extraordinary Thousand Years of History, Colin Spencer
Taste: The Story of Britain through its Cooking, Kate Colquhoun
British food has not traditionally been regarded as one of the world's great cuisines, and yet Stilton cheese, Scottish raspberries, Goosnargh duck and Welsh lamb are internationally renowned and celebrated. And then there are all those dishes and recipes that inspire passionate loyalty among the initiated: Whitby lemon buns and banoffi pie, for example; pan haggerty and Henderson's relish. All are as integral a part of the country's landscape as green fields, rolling hills and rocky coastline.
