Rhodes Around Britain

by Gary Rhodes

Gary Rhodes specializes in the traditional British dishes that have fallen from favour because of their humble ingredients, or have been overshadowed by the razzmatazz of nouvelle cuisine. In the book he presents over 100 recipes, many of them updated versions of classic dishes such as braised oxtail, Lancashire hotpot, and boiled bacon with pearl barley and lentils. Vegetarian dishes are also included. In the introduction, Rhodes elaborates on how to cook vegetables in traditional ways such as roasting and braising, and how to make dressings, marinades, chutneys and pickles.

The recipes, if done correctly, are awesome. However, this is not a cookbook for novice cooks or for people in a hurry. Be sure to reserve a few hours to recreate these restaurant quality dishes.
