Recipes for the Nation's Favourite Food


Book Description

In a major online poll, the BBC asked the British public to choose their 100 favourite dishes in 10 categories ranging from Comfort Food to Food of Love, and from Food for Convenience to Party Food to Outdoor Food. While many of the votes were for some of the nation's classic dishes, there were also some surprisig winners and the results will form the basis of a major 10-part BBC series that gives a fascinating insight into the way we eat today. This book accompanying the series contains recipes for all the winning dishes including modern twists on old favourites like fish and chips, full English breakfast, spaghetti bolognese and the quintessentially British scones with jam and clotted cream. The recipes are divided into themed chapters which reflect the categories of the poll and each chapter includes an introduction to explain the background to the dishes and beautiful photographs of some of the winning recipes. Accompanied by useful hints on regional variations and alternative ingredients, The Nation's Favourite Food represents a definitive guide to Britain's eating habits past and present.

Curry


Book Description

Britain has become a nation of curryholics - there are more than 8000 curry restaurants in Britain, visited by two million people each week. Each year, £2 billion is spent in Indian restaurants, while Marks and Spencer's sells 18 tonnes of Chicken Tikka Masala weekly. But how did Britain come to take curry so much to its heart? Where did the word 'curry' originate? When did the first curry restaurants come to Britain? And when were the first recipes produced for those who wanted to concoct the flavoursome dishes in their home? The first recipe for curry powder recorded by the English was from Mrs Turnbull, who wrote down her recipes in manuscript in the mid-18th century at her home in Hyde Park following her return from India. Today, curry is one of the most widely available meals in Britain, available in pubs nationwide, in supermarkets and in a plethora of restaurants to suit all purses and palates. Here, bestselling author Shrabni Basu traces the story of curry in Britain.
