James Beard Award winning chef Colman Andrews will be joined by Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton for a discussion (and tasting!) of traditional, delicious British cuisine.
About The British Table:
In The British Table, James Beard Award winner Colman Andrews offers a richly detailed immersion into the origins and evolution of British food and drink, which was once mocked as bland and colorless fare but is now celebrated and reinterpreted by leading chefs.
Drawing on a vast number of sources, both historical and modern, The British Table includes more than 150 recipes, from traditional regional specialties to modern gastropub reinventions of rustic fare. The book is organized into 13 chapters and covers everything from breakfast to beef and poultry, savory pies, desserts and confections, and teatime. Expect to find delicious reminders of the depth and breadth of Britain’s culinary heritage with recipes for:
- Braised Duck with Peas
- Summer Lobster Soup
- Creamed Mushrooms on Toast
- Cheese and Onion Pie
- Whisky-Soaked-Raisin and Orange Marmalade Bread & Butter Pudding
With profiles of cheese-makers and specialty food purveyors, historical sidebars on regional ingredients, and gorgeous color photographs by Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton of Canal House, The British Table is a veritable love letter to Great Britain by one of the most eloquent and distinguished food writers working today.
