Pride and Pudding: The History of British Puddings by Regula Ysewijn, 368 pages

Let food photographer and writer Regula Ysewijn take you on a journey through the fascinating culinary history of Great Britain - specifically through its puddings, both savoury and sweet. Captivated by British cuisine - from its ancient savoury dishes such as the Scottish haggis to traditional sweet and savoury pies - Regula tells the story of British food, paying homage to the great British pudding, which is versatile and wonderful in all its guises. By tracing back to authentic cookery texts, the earliest of which dates from 14th century, Regula has re-created over 80 recipes for the 21st century, and in the process has rediscovered long-forgotten flavours and food fashions.
