Anglophiles and hungry history buffs will find much to explore.' - Publishers Weekly 'Looking for your meat pies and puddings? [ The British Cookbook ] has 'em, along with roasts, trifles, all manner of cakes and breads, and much more.' - Stained Page News, Paula Forbes, Featured in Travel + Leisure's Best Fall Food Books Featured in Eater's Top 10 Best Cookbooks of Fall 2022 Featured in Food & Wine's Best Fall 2022 Cookbook 'Oh what a perfect book. It makes me want to take a year off and stand in a kitchen, all day every day trying to bring these wonderful dishes to life ... without a hint of jingoistic grandstanding it reminds us what a rich, varied and proud cuisines we have in Britain ... so grateful to have this.' - Stephen Fry 'Staggeringly comprehensive and deeply researched, it's a big, greedy, engrossing banquet of a book.' - Marina O'Loughlin, British journalist, writer and restaurant critic 'A fascinating dive into the historic underbelly of British cuisine ... required reading for any person interested in food.' - René Redzepi, head chef and owner of restaurant noma in Copenhagen 'Just what the doctor ordered: a thoughtful, intelligent, tried-and-true compendium ... lovely stuff, and timely.' - Elisabeth Luard, food writer, artist and broadcaster 'A great compendium of traditional recipes, and an excellent introduction for home and professional cooks alike; I greatly enjoyed learning about many regional recipes I'd never heard of before.' - Pierre Koffmann, internationally acclaimed chef 'A wonderfully rich book' - Diana Henry, The Telegraph 'A treasure trove of splendidly named delicacies ... This is one of those cookbooks that works as well for reference as it does for actual cooking, though the wealth of griddle cakes, crumpets, loaves, and buns alone makes a compelling case for the latter.' - Eater 'The reader comes away with a newfound understanding and appreciation of the wonderful nuances of good British fare' - Delicious 'Mervis masterfully moves between the sublime and the scrumptious ...
