An interesting and easy to read Food Tour - including all different regions of the country, with a variety of foods included for each area.

Very informative and entertaining, it included lots of facts I was previously unaware of.

The illustrations are also lovely.

The only slightly negative comment is that I would prefer (and was expecting) more recipes - especially as the book makes some of the food sound very tempting!

This title is packed with information. It’s broken down into regions of the country and food associated with that region is outlined. It’s quirky, interesting and original. I’m interested in food and social history and the authors manage to pack in quite a lot of both. It’s good to see that some more recent delicacies…samosa, urban honey etc are detailed, along with the more traditional like Bradley apples, Stilton, fish and chips, Cullen skink and Scotch eggs.

It’s well written and very much a taster. I found I wanted to know more about some dishes and there are quite a few recipes scattered throughout which I intend to try. I suspect in paper edition, it looks particularly impressive and would make a great gift for a foodie. I’ve really enjoyed the book and my thanks to Netgalley and publisher for an early review copy.

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.

Great book
Wasn't sure what to expect and so glad read this book, well written informative and learnt more about food etc in my own country
Things I didn't even know and now want explore

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

This is both entertaining and informative, paying a tribute to local treasures in the UK with amazing illustrations and fun details.
Liked it plenty.

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.
