Description
Book SynopsisFrom Tudor oyster pedlars and Victorian pie and mash shops, to the supper clubs and street food scene flourishing today, Britain''s capital has always been a tantalising draw for those who live to eat.
In Made in London, Londoner Leah Hyslop offers a joyful celebration of the city and its food, past and present. The book features recipes invented in the city; such as the 18th century treat Chelsea buns (a favourite of King George II) and Omelette Arnold Bennett, created for the famous writer while staying at the Savoy Hotel. Alongside these are new, exciting dishes, inspired by the Leah''s eating adventures around the capital: such as a mouthwatering Pimm''s and lemon curd trifle, an unusual goat''s cheese and cherry tart and an easy twist on Indian restaurant Dishoom''s iconic bacon naan, one of the best brunches in London.
Interspersed with the recipes are short, entertaining histories and profiles about London''s food scene, including the tale of the 18th century '
