Synopsis:

The majority of people categorize their national food in a very simple way, not by dishes or techniques, but by ingredients - bacon, oats, raspberries and honey for example, immediately suggest British food. So important are many of these ingredients that they have become an integral part of Britain's national identity. This book presents British cooking by listing typically British ingredients and giving modern recipes for them. The book is divided into 32 alphabetically ordered sections, beginning with apples and ending with walnuts. Each section begins with an introduction and concludes with a number of recipes, all with British flavours.
