Description

This book is my love letter to the UK, and a celebration of all of the things that I have come to adore, from its food and wine to its history and villages. Vive les Anglais!'


This is what (a lot of) the French think about the UK:

the food is bland and boring
the wine is undrinkable
it''s always raining and grey
the British don''t have sex
they''re meek, mild and reserved
they''ve got no sense of style
they''re arrogant

And anyway, who would want to swap a juicy steak au poivre for deep fried cod and chips?

Fred Sirieix would. Ever since he boarded a P&O ferry bound for Dover with a one-way ticket and just two suitcases, he has been in love with the UK. Working as a waiter at the famous three-Michelin-starred restaurant La Tante Claire in Chelsea aged just 20, he learned English, met people from all walks of life, and went dancing until dawn. It was glorious madness. His appetite for life propelled him to sample

Seriously British
