Farmhouse Cookery or Fish

Farmhouse Cookery

Author: Laura Mason

Farmhouse Cookery is both a culinary tour of Great Britain and a celebration of regional, traditional, and contemporary cooking. Laura Mason demonstrates how landscape, climate, and culture have contributed to the wide diversity of British cooking, from the excellent Herdwick lamb in the Lake District to the justifiably famous goat's cheese of South Wales. Farming in Britain has been under increasing pressure for the last two decades. The foot and mouth crisis of 2001 threw the plight of British farmers onto an international stage. Launched in conjunction with the National Trust's "Farming Forward" campaign, Farmhouse Cookery aims to promote the excellent foodstuffs produced by British farmers.

Fish: Recipes from a Busy Island

Author: Sara Paston Williams

Our appetite for fish is growing, as is our awareness of the importance of eating fish that are low in fat but may be rich in oil. In this important new book, Sara Paston-Williams has not only provided delicious recipes drawn from different parts of the British Isles, but also takes into account the constraints and demands of current fishing and farming practices. She highlights local industries and sustainable practices, working in consultation with the Marine Conservation Society of the United Kingdom. The recipes combine time-honored dishes with modern flavors. Traditional fishcakes are accompanied by Lime Chilli, Fried Mackerel with Rhubarb Sauce, and Roast Turbot with Orange Hollandaise. Freshwater fish are not forgotten; from the Lake District, for instance, comes Ullswater Trout marinated in Lemon and Oil with Tomato and Coriander Sauce. With lists of suppliers and coastal places to visit, Fish is the perfect book for the fish and seafood enthusiast.
