Book Synopsis

Rick Stein celebrates the best of British food with over 100 diverse, exciting and easy new recipes

"Over my 55-year career, I've seen British cuisine transform. What we have now is an amalgam of our own rich repertoire of dishes, and the food and flavours of so many different cultures from the people who have made Britain their home, from meat and two veg to Pad Thai noodles. We have today what I believe is one of the most exciting cuisines in the world." --Rick Stein
