My favourite has to be the very British luncheon with Pimm’s and Lancashire cheese and onion biscuits to start, cream of celery soup, English salad, chicken pie with stewed carrots and peas with marmalade queen of puddings. I visualise it with the dining room doors wide open and the butterflies on the flowers... There are another eight meals which I haven’t touched on but they’re all of a similar standard. Instructions are clear and don’t assume too much prior knowledge or a vast array of specialist kit.
You’ll have worked out that these are special meals for ‘’occasions’’''occasions''. There isn’t one for ‘a quick supper before I go out’. If that’s what you’re after you’d really better looking at [[:category:Nigel Slater|Nigel Slater]]. These are meals which are going to take at least an hour to prepare and possibly a good bit longer. Some will need to be started the day before - but there’s a clear warning at the top of the recipe if this needs to be taken into consideration.
I’d like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
