About British cooking
What defines British cooking?
British cooking is roasting, braising and baking with restrained seasoning, designed around a temperate larder of root vegetables, brassicas, lamb, beef, pork and North Atlantic fish. The Sunday roast with its dripping-cooked potatoes and pan gravy is the organising meal; suet and shortcrust pastry turn braises into pies; and mustard, malt vinegar, horseradish and Worcestershire supply the sharpness that the cooking itself leaves out. A century of trade means curry is now part of the canon. Our 381 British recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common British pantry staples?
Butter, plain flour, suet, potatoes, onions, carrots, leeks, dried and split peas, English mustard powder, malt vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, bay, thyme, mature Cheddar, stout or ale for braising, and good stock.
