The British Cookbook (French edition) by Ben Mervis

The Book of British Cooking, written by Ben Mervis, is the most comprehensive work ever produced on British gastronomy. With over 550 recipes, this beautifully illustrated book offers a fascinating dive into a cuisine often unknown but rich in traditions.

In this book, you will find essential classics such as Fish and Chips, Scones, and Roast Beef. But the book goes well beyond the famous dishes: it also explores unique regional specialties, such as Lancashire Black Peas or the mysterious Plough Monday Pudding, served in Norfolk to close the Christmas festivities.

Ben Mervis, a passionate culinary historian, takes us through the varied landscapes of Great Britain, from the wild Scottish coasts to the lush lands of Wales, passing through the charming English countryside. This geographical diversity, combined with the distinct seasons, is reflected in the ingredients and flavors that characterize this cuisine.

With an introduction by Jeremy Lee, a renowned chef, and a particular focus on the history and origins of the recipes, this book is aimed at both cooking enthusiasts and those wishing to discover a new facet of British culture.

An ideal gift for lovers of gastronomy, culinary history, and the art of living!
