ISBN: 147293850X

A delightfully wacky, delicious, irresistible and witty collection of British classics with a twist and a turn, all based around the premise that food should fun for all and that flavour is the key to having a great time at the table. Cow Pie – re-named and re-worked as Reindeer Pie at Christmas with Reindeer horns poking out through the pastry crust in place of the usual Desperate Dan cow horns – sits alongside retro favourites such as Chicken Kiev (Turkey Kiev at Christmas) and a wealth of wittily conceived, much-loved British stand-bys, beautifully realised through great photography that pushes the boundaries of expectation. 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.

If you’re looking for the best biscuit to dunk in your tea, the ideal temperature at which to serve real ale or the perfect pasty for your trip to the seaside, you either A) Have been desperately seeking a book exactly like this one or, B) Have secretly become British without realizing it. If you chose A, congratulations, you are an Anglophile! And, if you chose B, don’t panic. With the help of Stuff Brits Like, you will soon discover the joy of these and many more delightful British peculiarities and can develop an upper lip as stiff as any you’ve seen on Downton Abbey. British native Fraser McAlpine set out to do for his countrymen what Stuff Parisians Like did for their neighbors across the channel—offering a guide to their particular tastes and eccentricities with all the cheeky wit you might expect from the people who gave you Noël Coward and Eddie Izzard.
