First of all, many thanks to Netgalley for the ARC granted. Everytime I see a book that We can immerse in onther countries culture between its pages I am compelled to read. And when also involves traditional culinary from the place, I am all invested! Great Britain in on my bucketlist travellings God's willing I want to do someday, and I had a great time discovering new British food content and from their local food places.

This was an interesting tour of British cuisine and where things came from, along with a few recipes thrown in and great illustrations.

The National Trust has an excellent line in cookbooks, many of which I use regularly, and this is a lovely addition. There are recipes in it but it’s more a history of British food, organised by region, with the origins of everything from old favourites like Cullen Skink to sweets like rose and violet creams. Each section is relatively short but packed full of information and beautiful illustrations. It’s an excellent guide to the foods most connected to each of the countries and regions and includes the development of our gastronomic culture over the years, such as Balti in the Midlands. This is a lovely book for anyone with an interest in food to dip in and out of.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.
