Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Here's the idea: get the BBC audience to vote on their favourite British, holiday and all-time classic dishes, pop in a celebrity chef (Antony Worrall Thompson) to show us how to whip them up on telly, and spin a book out of it. Voilà, The Top 100 Recipes from the Food & Drink TV Series is on the shelves. Perhaps a more appropriate name for this collection of recipes would be "How to Cook Like a Pub Chef", as none of these dishes would be out of place on the menu at your local. Spaghetti bolognaise, beef wellington, chicken kiev and rhubarb crumble are recreated and reworked (anchovy essence and Worcestershire sauce are added to the bolognaise sauce) just enough to allow you to claim them as your "own special recipes". That's about the extent to which most of these recipes will stretch the culinary imagination.

That's about the extent to which most of these recipes will stretch the culinary imagination.
However, the book doesn't only focus on what the public voted for; AWT adds 70 of his own favourite dishes, and here you'll find some more interesting and inspiring recipes. (Isn't that what we buy cookbooks for?) Lemon polenta cake with rosemary syrup was the talking point of one dinner party, and the roast walnut pesto seems to be foolproof. AWT promises that none of these dishes are "beyond reach". The focus is definitely on uncomplicated recipes that steer clear of any of the latest food trends and remain (mostly) grounded in your mum's recipe collection. Most of these dishes will not impress your friends, but they will warm the cockles on a cold winter's night when only comfort food will do. -–Amelia Crook
Review
The BBC's longest running food programme, "Food and Drink" has inspired viewers for years and its latest presenter, Antony Worrall Thompson, presents the best dishes of the last few series. Selected by viewers polled in the "Radio Time" and "Good Food" magazine, and accompanied by Antony Worrall Thompson's own favourite dishes, this is a mouth-watering selection of culinary treats. Features include the top ten best-of-British dishes, the top ten best classic dishes and the top ten best holiday dishes, all of which demonstrate that the Brits have begun to get more adventurous in their cooking. Although steak and kidney pudding and roast beef are still the first choice of most, there are surprise inclusions such as fajitas, tempuras and gravadlax. With the reliable experience and expertise of the "Food and Drink" team, all the recipes are clearly explained and easy to make, many of them illustrated in colour. So why not treat yourself to a British favourite and see for yourself why it was voted one of the top ten favourites? - Lucy Watson
