About this product
Product Information
First published in 1954 and the bible of English cooks ever since, Dorothy Hartley's FOOD IN ENGLAND is now back in print after many years. Her love of the infinite variety of English cooking and her knowledge of British culture and history show why our food should never be considered dull or limited. There are unusual dishes such as the Cornish Onion and Apple Pie, and even recipes for fungi, from common field mushrooms to puffballs. She describes some delicious puddings, cakes and breads, including an exotic violet flower ice cream, an eighteenth century coconut bread and Yorkshire teacakes. The finely-executed line drawings that accompany many of the recipes are more than just beautiful; they inform the cook about different varieties and techniques of food-handling. FOOD IN ENGLAND, which had such a deep influence on many contemporary cooks and food writers, will undoubtedly attract a new generation of admirers.Product Identifiers

Food plus much more
I already had this book on my well stocked and creaking bookshelves, but being somone that is interested in talking food as well as cooking and eating it, I decided to buy a second copy for a very good friend of mine so that he too might savour some of the delights that simmer within its covers, as he too is a `foodie` and between us over the year, we cook up game and pickle fruit etc and then barter and swap with each other our goods. Food In England by Dorothy Hartley, will give us much to talk about, salivate over and smile about next time we meet .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wonderful book
This is a wonderful book, especially for anyone interested in the history of cooking. More of a 'read' than a recipe book, but a wonderful addition to any cookery book shelf...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
