Product Description
Product Description
Through a culinary tour of British comfort eating, from nursery staples to school canteen classics, from inside the officers' mess to City dining rooms, Tom Norrington-Davies asks why we all love the recipes we grew up with, why comfort food has become synonymous with junk food and what we can learn from days gone by. There is corn beef hash, sticky toffee pudding, cottage pie, macaroni cheese, eggy bread, welsh rarebit, fish finger sandwiches, kedgeree, kippers, toad-in-the-hole, lemon curd, spotted dick and many more recipes that should make you feel ten and a half again.
About the Author
Tom Norrington-Davies is a cook and writer. He currently runs the kitchen at The Eagle Public House in London, and contributed to their book Big Flavours and Rough Edges in 2001.
Tom learned his craft a boy, perfecting the traditional English breakfast at a young age. His grandmother was a Cordon Bleu cook and his parents were determined to teach all their children to be self-sufficient before leaving home. He has been cooking ever since and still feels like his is not so much following a career as indulgin his favourite hobby.

Excellent - for the 'foodie' or the beginner.,

This review is from: Just Like Mother Used to Make (Hardcover)
What a wonderful cook book! This book is full of what used to be known as "nursery food", purely for comfort eating, but in the pages of this book, we learn very early not to sit in judgement. Just because the food does not originate at some isolated Italian Mediteranean location doesn't mean that it's 'bad' or 'junk'. In fact, good British food was always crying out for a champion and this book does the job admirably. Eat Welsh Rabbit, Lancashire Hotpot or beef and ale casserole and eat it with relish! It's how we should have been brought up to eat and it's GOOD.

This review is from: Just Like Mother Used to Make (Hardcover)
this is the way I cook - soup to feed the nation- casseroles to fill the hungry & everything I've tried to pass on - a wonderful book to give to everyone from 5 to 80 to enjoy
