A delightfully wacky, delicious and irresistible collection of british classics with a twist and a turn.
With his infectious humour and brilliant writing style, Jesse Dunford Wood presents a delightfully wacky, yet familiar and fun, collection of colourful British recipes, based around the premise that food should be loved and shared, and that flavour is key.
Cow Pie sits alongside retro favourites such as Chicken Kyiv and a wealth of wittily conceived, much-loved British dishes, beautifully realised through imaginative photography.
Modern British Food is intended to be the ultimate fun cookery book, great to give and great to receive; a cookery book to make you smile and to make you hungry.
Jesse Dunford Wood is considered an expert on British food. He has worked with top chefs including Michael Caines, Charlie Trotter, Rowley Leigh and Mark Hix.
