PARSLEY LIQUOR	RECIPE

This recipe for Parsley Liquor came from The Geat British Kitchen web site (whihc is no loger available) and was reproduced with the permission of The British Food Trust which ran the site.

The British Food Trust websitewas 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 the Trust's web site were 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, was 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.
