A gastronomic portrait of a nation
Andrew Webb is a food journalist and photographer who has worked for Channel 4 and the BBC. He has also written for Waitrose Kitchen and Delicious magazines. He lives in London.
"This beguiling book is hard to categorise - partly a guide book to
the greatest culinary treasures in the British Isles; partly a
travelogue; and partly a love song to our nation's food"
*The Sunday Times*
"A handsome encyclopaedic survey of the best of British food"
*Daily Mail*
"Particularly good are the descriptions of tastes and textures.
Webb is clearly a messy eater ... but on paper he's delicious. When
he talks about figit pie or bara brith it's a stern reader that
doesn't find herself overtaken by a bout of empathetic
dribbling"
*Guardian*
"A fascinating gastronomic portrait of a nation"
*The Bookseller*
"A near anthology-sized collection of the nation's most iconic
regional dishes and traditional recipes, this book is a must for
lovers of British food. Historical stories and producer profiles
make it even more essential"
*Food and Travel*
