Synopsis

The British Table: A New Look at the Traditional Cooking of England, Scotland, and Wales celebrates the best of British cuisine old and new. Drawing on a vast number of sources both historical and modern, the book includes more than 125 recipes, from traditional regional specialties to modern gastropub reinventions of rustic fare. Dishes like chicken pie, mackerel with sorrel sauce and a pastry shop full of simple, irresistible desserts have found their way onto modern British menus-delicious reminders of the depth and breadth of Britain's culinary heritage. The book blends these tradition-based reinventions, by some of the finest chefs in England, Scotland and Wales, with forgotten dishes of the past worthy of rediscovery.

The British Table is no exception--it is filled with so many fascinating recipes to help us discover the traditional cooking and culture of England, Scotland, and Wales. --Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse and The Edible Schoolyard
