Food Britannia

"This beguiling book is hard to categorise - partly a guide book to the greatest culinary treasures in the British Isles; partly a travelogue; and partly a love song to our nation's food" -- Food Book Of The Year The Sunday Times "A handsome encyclopaedic survey of the best of British food" -- Best Christmas Cookery Books Daily Mail "Particularly good are the descriptions of tastes and textures. Webb is clearly a messy eater ... but on paper he's delicious. When he talks about figit pie or bara brith it's a stern reader that doesn't find herself overtaken by a bout of empathetic dribbling" Guardian "A fascinating gastronomic portrait of a nation" The Bookseller "A near anthology-sized collection of the nation's most iconic regional dishes and traditional recipes, this book is a must for lovers of British food. Historical stories and producer profiles make it even more essential" Food and Travel
