 Great
Food . . .the British way
Gary
Rhodes travels around the British Isles, sampling local
dishes and re-creating them gourmet-style. This collection
from his latest travels - Rhodes Around Britain - is
full of mouth-watering recipes that really work. It
contains best-ever versions of traditional British favorites
such as Corned Beef, Mussel Stew, and Black Pudding,
as well as exciting new variations such as Roast Parsnip
and Chestnut Crumble, Seared Peppered Salmon, Lobster
Bisque, Mushroom Risotto, Iced Chocolate Parfait, and
chocolate and Pear Burlee.
Rhodes
provides recipes for soups, starters, fish, poultry
and meat, vegetarian main courses, vegetable side dishes,
puddings, and other desserts, as well as stocks, sauces,
and general basics. Throughout, he explains how to alter
recipes based on ingredients at hand or what's fresh
in the market that day. Rhodes ecourages home cooks
to ignore strict rules and regulations in order to discover
a cooking style all their own and create dishes that
they and their family will truly enjoy.
Anglophiles,
expatriates, and anyone with a passion for good food
will respond to Rhodes's enthusiasm for British cooking
- which is such that he provides recipes for 'Hot sausage
and mustard . . . Cold jelly and custard' to correspond
to the lines from 'Food, Glorious Food' in the musical
Oliver! This book accompanies the PBS show titled Great
Food which is now showing nationwide, and is part of
the Great Food series of cook Books which feature other
Great food chefs such as Antonio Carluccio 'Italian
feast', Ken Homs 'Hot Wok' and Madhur Jaffrey's 'Flavours
of India'. Don't miss the series companion book call
Great Food, with all the recipes from the series.
From
London Times:
" When Gary gets down to some serious cooking,
he really does deliver the goods".

Fabulous
recipes that reinvent traditional British food!
(October 1998)
Reviewer:
A reader from Washington
This
is a fabulous cookbook I will rely on again and again!
After
searching a half-dozen books for a recipe for rack
of lamb I knew I'd found 'the one' as soon as I skimmed
Gary Rhodes' 'Roast Rack of Lamb with a Parsnip Crumble'.
The recipe was simple and straight-forward, as are
most recipes in the book. The result was a fabulous
dish that was familiar yet significantly better than
basic British fare!
Homemade
Pork Pie had my mouth watering and looked beautiful
- good enough for guests. Can't wait to try more -
cod, duck, bubble and squeak, fritters, sponges and
ice creams.
'Rhodes around Britain' is a great collection of recipes
that are time-tested and traditional, yet so yet much
more imaginative. The recipes are easy to produce,
delicious to eat and great for everyone - even my
kids appreciate this food!
