This
recipe for Parsley Liquor comes from The
Geat British Kitchen web site and has been reproduced
with the permission of The British Food Trust which
runs the site.
The
British Food Trust website is a major resource for all
those in the UK and around the world who are enthusiasts
for British cooking, its past traditions and future
potential. Most of the recipes on Trust's web site are
indeed traditional and, taken together, define the legacy
of British Cuisine. But of course cooking and recipes
are ever-changing, no more so  than
with British cooking, which has always been hugely influenced
by other cultures, many of which are now part and parcel
of our contemporary cuisine. The Trust's overriding
interest, then, is not that everything in the Kitchen
should be the pre-War idea of British, important though
that foundation is, but to share and enjoy the rich
diversity of the culinary life that is readily found
in the British Kitchen today (wherever in the world
that Kitchen may be!).
The
Trust is a registered charity (Number 1064844), the
aim of which is to stimulate the awareness and involvement
of the general public in British food and cooking and
to foster the production, supply and consumption of
good food.
