Book review - Gentleman's Relish by the National Trust

'Gentleman's Relish and other English Culinary Oddities' by the National Trust is a wonderful little book to dip in to every now and then if you feel like learning a spot of history or interesting trivia concerning the traditional culinary fare that has provided joy and sustenance to people up and down the country for many a year. With each entry taking up either one or two pages, this tidy work covers around a hundred food items and there's also a decent handful of simple recipes if you feel like taking theory to practice. Very nicely done.
