The Ethicurean Cookbook

The Ethicurean philosophy is simple: eat local, celebrate native foods, live well.The Ethicurean is quietly changing the face of modern British cooking, all from a walled garden in the heart of the Mendip Hills. "The Ethicurean Cookbook" follows a year in their magnificent kitchen and garden, and celebrates the greatest food, drink, and traditions of this fair land.The combinations are electric: confit rabbit is paired with lovage breadcrumbs, cured roe deer flirts with wood sorrel, and foraged nettle soup is fortified by a young Caerphilly. The salads are as fresh as a daisy: honeyed walnuts nestle amongst beetroot carpaccio, rich curd cheese is balanced by delicate cucumber. And the comfort of pies and puds pork and juniper pie, Eccles cakes with Dorset Blue Vinny is only enhanced by the apple juice, cider, and beer poured in equal measure.With 120 recipes and a year of seasonal inspiration in photographs and words, Ethicureanism is a new British cooking manifesto."
