Rick
Stein's Guide to the Food Heroes of Britain
by Rick Stein
 Synopsis
In this companion volume to the Food
Heroes cookbook, Rick Stein has compiled a directory
of the best food producers, suppliers and retailers
in Great Britain and Ireland. The criteria for entry
are based on the quality of the produce, assessed by
personal testing and experience. The book sets out to
encourage readers to explore the small-scale side of
food production. Divided into ten chapters by food type,
the suppliers are arranged alphabetically within each
chapter by region. Entries show whether suppliers offer
direct sales, mail order or internet service and those
using local ingredients or traditional methods.

Heroes You Will Love (8 October 2003)
Reviewer:

Rick
maybe revisiting some of the food heroes of Henrietta
Green's book but with the significant gap of 8 - 10
years (and being hard to find in print) this is a
welcome update and has many new suppliers in it. It
covers everything in the series and more including
speciality shops. Good details are given for any Certification
the produce has i.e. organic and more importantly
how to get the produce via mail/internet order. A
very useful book for those who enjoy good quality
food!

Reviewer: A reader from Rotherham, South Yorkshire
Sorry
Rick, it's already been done mate. Tour of England,
sourcing small producers etc etc. I would refer you
to Henrietta Green's Food Lovers' Britain albeit published
some time ago. Also, her book wasn't a money-making
spin off from a TV show - it was ground breaking stuff
back then. If it wasn't for this lady's efforts, most
of the small producers RS talks about wouldn't be
here today. I'd stick with the original, folks.
Hub-UK's
comment:
The
last review has been included by way of impartiality
but it is our opinion that Rick Stein's book is certainly
worthwhile if you haven't got a copy of Henrietta
Green's and when all is said and done a book published
over eight years ago probably needs replacing with
up to date information!
