Heritage Recovered (4/4 people found this helpful)
I have never enjoyed reading or using a cookbook more than this one. I am an American who rediscovered her heritage through it. These are the tastes and aromas I grew up on in my grandmothers' kitchens in South Carolina, USA. I had never realized how very British we were in our eating. I am delighted now to be able to recreate them myself.
An excellent resource for surprisingly delicious food! (22/22 people found this helpful)
Jane Garmey aims this book at the American cook, artfully dispelling the myth of stodgy, heavy English food. The recipes are traditional fare such as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese (my British husband's favorite!) and fabulous puddings (desserts). Make no mistake, this is not California-lite cooking, but it may remind you of Sunday dinners at Grandma's or Great-aunt Molly's. The recipes are well-written and easy to follow. Ms. Garmey liberally shares out anecdotal information about the curious names and history of some of these dishes. She also has sections devoted to English High Tea and Beer. I recommend this book for Anglophiles, expats living in England and trying to get to grips with the food, or anyone who loves cooking for the sake of the art.
