In a major online poll, the BBC asked the British public to choose their 100 favourite dishes in 10 categories ranging from Comfort Food to Food of Love, and from Food for Convenience to Party Food to Outdoor Food. While many of the votes were for some of the nation's classic dishes, there were also some surprisig winners and the results will form the basis of a major 10-part BBC series that gives a fascinating insight into the way we eat today. This book accompanying the series contains recipes for all the winning dishes including modern twists on old favourites like fish and chips, full English breakfast, spaghetti bolognese and the quintessentially British scones with jam and clotted cream. The recipes are divided into themed chapters which reflect the categories of the poll and each chapter includes an introduction to explain the background to the dishes and beautiful photographs of some of the winning recipes. Accompanied by useful hints on regional variations and alternative ingredients, The Nation's Favourite Food represents a definitive guide to Britain's eating habits past and present.

This is my favourite cookbook of all time!! We've made at least two thirds of the recipes in here, and they're all fantastic. Jo Pratt is amazing. It's such a great reference (good-housekeeping-like!) for all the classics, many of which are offered with a sophisticated twist. The sweet and sour chicken in here comes out like what you always imagined sweet and sour chicken could be but never quite achieved. Perfect beer batter for your cod. Stir fries gallore. Great Lamb Rogan Josh--the list goes on and on!! Quite a few veggie options (if that's your bag) and veggie variations on some of the staples, too. (Including an absolutely superb take on bolognese.) I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Bought this after finding it in local library and realised it was full of solid recipes that I always wanted - Christmas recipes in particular.

It is extremely well written. Unlike many popular cheffy books in which you find a bare bones recipe along with a glossy picture, Jo' Pratt's recipes are often innovative. Also due to the diligent efforts of Christine Hall and James Haynes it is packed with variations on the main themes and abounds with a multitude of relevant tips. I am an accomplished cook but found lots to stimulate my interest. Well recommended!
