Product Description

Review
New voice Diana Henry progresses from the successful "Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons" to "Gastropub": a look at the new phenomenon in the world of pub cuisine. Travelling all around the UK she hunts out these newly born culinary gems, more often than not nestling in some of the most beautiful countryside on offer. From novice chefs to Michelin star winners, they all display innovation, pride and a love of local produce. Each part of the country is explored with the best pubs detailed alongside a selection of their most popular recipes. And if you miss a table there you will find more to choose from in "the best of the rest" which concludes each section. Traditional shepherd pies and rib-eye steaks mix with the more exotic Conwy mussels with coconut milk and coriander and roast partridge with Vietnamese cabbage salad. English puddings like crumble and sticky toffee pudding feature on menus alongside the inspirationally mouth-watering choices of toffee apple ice cream and geranium-scented panna cotta with red gooseberries... Join in the celebration of these top pubs specializing in good old-fashioned comfort food and learn the inspiration behind them as divulged by their owners. Lavish photographs from Jason Lowe complement Diana's text, giving a wonderful picture of warmth and welcome in each featured hostelry. Forget a pint of lager and a packet of crisps and return to that long lost art of warm hospitality now enjoying such a renaissance in gastropubs up and down the country. - Lucy Watson

5.0 out of 5 stars Grub Crawl, 20 Oct 2003
Diana Henry does it again - after being enthralled by her last title, Crazy water Pickled lemons I was pleased to see the same
thoughtful and intelligent approach to what is a guide that
focuses on the finest eating pubs in the UK.

A wide mix of recipes are included which range from simple to fairly complex - but it's easy to adapt them to your abilities and equipment.Of the 20 or so pubs featured each chef offers up
a sample of their style often including a starter, main course and dessert.Recipes seem to be well adapted from a commercial enviroment - making them tempting to cook yourself and each includes a few words beforehand to set the context - making me want to rush to the kitchen and get cooking.

Also included in each regional chapter is a 'best of the rest'
section detailing boozers also visited with an idea of what to expect.This is what makes a great cookery book into a travelog,
you just can't wait to plan a long weekend away sampling these

hostelries.Best be quick though the catering trade being what it is and businesses change hands...

Overall a great read thats full of enthusiasm and passion.

4.0 out of 5 stars `The Gastropub' - a relaxed environment in which you can eat gutsy food with a taste of the region.', 20 Jul 2006
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
'The Gastropub Cookbook' has 224 high quality, shiny pages split over 11 chapters:-

The West Country
The South
The South East
London
Heart of England
East Anglia
Wales
Cumbria and the North West
Yorkshire and the North East
Scotland
Northern Ireland and Eire

sandwiched between an introduction and a concise index.

Each chapter begins with an introduction about the particular region and `spotlights' between 2 & 4 particularly good hostelries, then finishes with a `best of the rest' containing between 4 and 16 references depending on the size of the region.

All establishments featured have information regarding address, telephone numbers, menus, children welcome etc and the `spotlights' have an additional brief summary re the hosts, but the book was written in 2003, so it would be wise to phone up and check that the same people and menu choices are in business!

Having said that, this is a very good stand alone recipe book with some exceptional dishes, clearly laid out with occasional photographs of the food, interspersed with relevant on location shots from Jason Lowe.

Our favourite dishes:-

Casserole of Sea Fish with Saffron & Cream
Grav Lax
Beef and Mushroom Pie
Bitter Chocolate Tart with Blood Orange Ice Cream
Deep Fried Whitebait with Paprika Mayonnaise
Irish Stew
Twice Baked Swede & Farmhouse Cheddar Soufflé
Chocolate and Rum Cake

5.0 out of 5 stars Every one a winner!, 20 Oct 2003
By Mrs. A. Booth-Clibborn (london, london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Diana Henry really has done all the hard work for you in this book. Every pub I have tried from it has been outstanding and then I don't even have to bother the chefs for their recipes because they are in the book too. I would honestly plan a weekend around the book now as I know I can be sure of a pretty, delicious and friendly welcome with any of her recommendations.
