Rhodes Around Britain Book

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!
