  Over the last 10 years, Britain has been experiencing a quiet food revolution. Many of the nation's brightest and most talented chefs have walked out of the stressed, accountancy-driven life of restaurant cooking in search of a more relaxed and informal setting for their prestigious culinary talents. This, in turn, led many of them to take over the kitchens of pubs and inns up and down the country, thus beginning a movement that resulted, early in 2001, in the award of a Michelin Star to the Stagg Inn in Herefordshire -- the ultimate culinary accolade and confirmation that the time of the gastropub has come!This beautiful book, stylishly designed with stunning full-color photography, features recipes from the 40 pubs in the forefront of this groundbreaking movement. The philosophy is clear and uncompromising -- the freshest local produce cooked in a simple yet contemporary way with influences taken from all over the world.Fascinating profiles of the pubs make this not just a recipe book but also an invaluable guide for any visitor who is interested in exploring the great British country-side in search of fantastic pubs and inns serving wonderful food in stunning surroundings.
