Review
Following a major online poll asking the public to choose their 100 favourite dishes, The Nation's Favourite Food presents a fascinating insight into Britain's eating habits. Providing the recipes and background to all of the winning dishes, including suggestions on how to give a modern twist to old favourites, this is a must for food lovers everywhere.
This is the book of the TV series of the same name, itself the child of the Great Britons extravaganza which provided such riveting viewing in 2002. As you might expect, it's a mixture of TV dinners and takeaways with a solid seasoning, pace Mrs Beeton, of roasts, fry-ups and afternoon tea. And that may well be no bad thing, if it gets the nation out of the cook-chill cabinet and into the kitchen. When tackling the exotic Chinese and Indian predominate - it's much easier to try and reproduce something if you know more or less what it should taste like. The recipes, 100 of them selected by the public as their tip-top faves, are pretty predictable. Chapters are conveniently themed, with Breakfast including bacon and eggs and all the trimmings, muesli and pain-au-chocolat, and Lunch encompassing toasted sarnies, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, pork with crackling and lamb with mint sauce. Dinner's a bit more foreign - apparently we're all more adventurous when we have friends round for a glass of the Chilean Chardonnay: risotto, Chinese crispy duck, a stir-fry for the under-25s. Comfort Food includes bangers and mash. Sounds familiar? That's the point. The authors leave no stone unturned - they even tell you how to brew a cuppa using real tea. And within the limitations of the brief, they've come up with some very satisfactory new takes: heavenly ice creams, scrumptious chocolate cake, chilli-con-carne, Thai green curry, chicken kiev - need I say more? The truth is, considering how few of us still cook from scratch - as we can observe for ourselves as we wheel our trollies to the checkout - we need a book like this. The format is friendly, choices are explained in a brief introduction to each section - Love, Party, Picnics and so forth - and the numbered step-by-step recipes are easy enough for even a novice to follow. Luscious photographs make the point. This is a winner, not least because it tells us who we are. I hope it sells a million. Elisabeth Luard is the author of The Latin American Kitchen. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
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.
