A reissue of Rose Prince’s modern-day household gem, giving a lifetime of stylish, beautiful, good–tasting food and most of all making the most of food's usefulness.

The influence of Mediterranean food has spread to our repertoire of recipes, but the Southern European philosophy of 'making do with what you have' has not invaded Britain in the same way. We helped ourselves to the olive oil, but not the attitude. ‘The New English Kitchen’ offers us a different eating philosophy: an exciting new way of looking at food and how to use it over time.

Acclaimed food writer Rose Prince’s guidance on making the most of local availability and seasonality, keeping a well-stocked store cupboard, growing staples such as herbs and peppering our diet with luxuries such as Parma ham, figs and wonderful cheeses shows that ‘The New English Kitchen’ is not so much a cookbook but a plan, one that will endure as a practical manual for future generations of cooks.

Synopsis:

A modern day household gem, giving a lifetime of stylish, beautiful, good tasting food and most of all making the most of food's usefulness. The New English Kitchen is a cookery book for our times.

This book shows you how to make your meals go further, revealing practical ways to make the highest quality food fit inside a tight budget. Good food relies on skillful shopping, and The New English Kitchen is a hard-hitting guide to the most controversial food issues, helping you make the right decisions whether buying tuna or veal, milk or prawns. It also brims with suggestions, from exploring the flavours of unexploited fish, choosing inexpensive cuts of meat, to cooking with the new artisan British cheeses. With over 280 easy and distinctive recipes, and a mine of quick ideas, Rose Prince shows how everyone can eat economically and well, every single day.
