Negative Positive
Title: Good British Food
Review: I bought this book after I had borrowed a copy of Delia's Frugal Food from my Public Library. Most of her cooking is fairly basic but as her Television Cooking Shows reveal, she is a good teacher. I am careful not to accumulate too many cooking books as I will not do them justice but as soon as I borrowed Delia's I knew I should have it in my collection. Some of her recipes make simple vegetables into almost a main meal with her interesting use of herbs and spices. She gives cheaper meats, fish and poultry a new 'place at the table'. It appears budget cooking is becoming a way of life at the moment and people want more on their dinner plate than a pile of pretty salad vegetables, a piece of chicken and a basil leaf garnish.This book would have an appeal to people raised on Post 2nd World War English cooking. I own one other "Delia" cook book which was published many years ago and I hope there will be more to come.
