Book Description

4 Oct 2010
This classic British cookbook, newly updated and redesigned for 2010, contains a wealth of tempting traditional recipes. Choose from time-honoured family favourites such as Toad in the Hole or Rice Pudding, or discover local gems from around the country such as Stargazey Pie from Cornwall or Singin' Hinnies from Northumberland. As well as the conventional cooking method, instructions are given for each recipe to be cooked on an Aga. The book also explores the history behind some of the key dishes in British cooking, from 14th-century Macaroni Cheese to 19th-century Mulligatawny Soup, and the introductions to each chapter provide a fascinating account of our culinary tradititions and influences. Sarah Edington's research has uncovered long-forgotten but delicious tastes of history from the roots of British cooking. The book's recipes are arranged by: soups; fish dishes; meat dishes; vegetables and side dishes; hot puddings; cold puddings; breads, teabreads and scones; jams and preserves; drinks and confectionery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy 5 May 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this because my husband likes "proper British food". The recipes are many and varied. Im not a skilled cook but have sucessfully made many of the dishes featured. There are no hard to come by ingredients and the history behind each dish is really valuable if you have an interest in British food tradition (and a hungry man to feed).

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great 12 Oct 2010
By Fergie
Format:Hardcover
I had recently taken out the earlier edition from the library and thought what a fantastic book(especially the puddings), when I realised an updated vesion was coming out I thought I must have it. The main difference is there are now AGA instructions along side conventional cooking methods. I couldn't see anything else different ie. no new recipes. This is still a good book but unless you have an AGA it is the same as the previous edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mouth watering delight! 23 Oct 2006
By RC VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I'm not much of a cook but I found the recipes very easy to follow and also very tasty. There's a lot to get through, and the history behind each receipe is well worth a read. More importantly, it has a great chocolate pudding which tastes just as good as the the picture in the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Traditional Recipes. 1 Nov 2011
By Sheila
Format:Hardcover
I have done a few recipes out of this book which I found to be very tasty,but there are flaws in the recipes and sometimes some ingredients are totally ignored. Once they are listed they are never spoken about again,BIZARRE !!Having said all that I love owning it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very impressed 1 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover
Easy-to-follow instructions producing relatively impressive results. There is nothing pretentious or difficult about this book. The recipes are simple, yet you could serve any of the dishes to dinner guests. A sort of educational, modern-day Mrs Beeton (without the advice on how to run your household).

Lots of comfort food :)

Best of all, the proceeds go to a good cause...

I rate this book rather highly in my list of cookbooks. It details several classic British recipes which I never see being served up in restuarants anymore.

Some of the meals, unfortunately, can be found served in cheap pubs but they do not come close to the traditional recipes and methods found in this book.

The recipes are easy to follow using easy to obtain ingrediants. The food made is high quality putting "British food" served in pubs to shame. Don't expect a simple Fish & Chips recipe here, but rather ones for authentic classic pies, casseroles, stews, cakes and puddings.

Each recipe comes with a short history of the dish which can make for an interesting read.
