It's not all doom and gloom: there is much deliciousness in the British Isles. You just have to find it, which brilliantly Andrew Webb has done for us. A splendid book
Fergus Henderson, St John Bar & Restaurant
A near anthology-sized collection of the nation's most iconic regional dishes and traditional recipes, this book is a must for lovers of British food. Historical stories and producer profiles make it even more essential
Food and Travel
A fascinating gastronomic portrait of a nation
The Bookseller
Particularly good are the descriptions of tastes and textures. Webb is clearly a messy eater ... but on paper he's delicious. When he talks about figit pie or bara brith it's a stern reader that doesn't find herself overtaken by a bout of empathetic dribbling
Guardian
A handsome encyclopaedic survey of the best of British food
Best Christmas Cookery Books, Daily Mail
This beguiling book is hard to categorise - partly a guide book to the greatest culinary treasures in the British Isles; partly a travelogue; and partly a love song to our nation's food
Food Book of the Year, The Sunday Times
More than a good read, this may well turn out to be an important historical snapshot of the British food scene at the end of a significant decade
Tim Hayward, Financial Times
