Parker Bowles writes an interesting account of food around England. I was rather taken aback to open the book, however, and see reference to the 'Kingham Plough in Gloucestershire'. Where the first words you read are wrong - this pub in my childhood village is firmly within in Oxfordshire - you expect a certain laziness elsewhere, and I wasn't disappointed in that. Poorly structured, the absence of an index makes relocating information hard. Still, the book was pleasant enough, a heavily anecdotal but pleasing. The recipes are good enough, though I fail to see why you'd want to make a rhubarb and apple crumble except to save on rhubarb. Battered tripe? Mmeh. Perhaps I'll give it a go. Perhaps, though, it's significant that the publisher classifies it as a travel rather than cookery book. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Tom Parker-Bowles tells the story of the British through our love-affair with food From West Country cider brewers to Yorkshire tripe dressers, Tom meets the punters and producers at the heart of our food traditions. He samples the very best of real English food- Bury black pudding, home-cured Wiltshire bacon and the planet's finest cheddar.But Full English is no paean to an imagined land where yokels sip ale together while chomping on pork pies. Tom's quest delves beneath the surface to unearth the real story behind our eating habits, and what the food of today says about us- organic heaven or mass-produced hell?Peppered with mouth-watering recipes and recommendations, Tom's pilgrimage maps out England's defining dishes- Fish & Chips in the North, Balti in the midlands, Snail Porridge at the Fat Duck. But it is the colourful characters we meet along the way who truly bring Full English to life. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
