Great British Desserts
British cookery is often treated as a joke, not least in Britain. Memories of over-cooked school meals and stodgy desserts abound. Yet cookery in Britain is going through something of a renaissance, where traditional recipes are being re-invented and re-discovered whilst new techniques and new styles are being brought into the cooking.
It must be said, however, that British cooking has always tended to excel in the area of desserts. Here I present two desserts. A classic ‘pudding’ and a dessert from the new school of British cookery.
