Belgian-born author Regula Ysewijn's meticulously researched book is, as she describes it, "a tribute to the cookery writers of the past ... who were driven by a profound passion for British food." Her own passion for British puddings is clear, and the result is a fascinating collection of recipes that's erudite yet readable, and illustrated with gorgeous photography.
from the publisher
Let Regula Ysewijn take you to the heart of what it means to be British in this beautiful tome: part-recipe book, part-culinary history of the British pudding.
Captivated by British culinary history - from its ancient savoury dishes such as the Scottish haggis to traditional sweet and savoury pies, pastries, jellies and ices, flummeries, junkets and jam roly-poly - Regula tells the story of British food, paying homage to the great British pudding, which is versatile and wonderful in all its guises.
Delving through historical texts dating back as far as the fourteenth century, Regula's refreshingly original book documents the history of the British pudding, rediscovering long-forgotten flavours and food fashions along the way.
With stunning photography, illustrations and fascinating facts, Pride and Pudding recreates more than 80 recipes for the twenty-first century palette. It is a must-have cookbook for anybody who delights in British food and its culinary history.
