Classic British recipes
This collection highlights some spectacular spins on classic British dishes from our chefs. For hearty British mains, try Shaun Rankin's lovely roast leg of lamb with honeycomb and minted Jersey Royals, or Josh Eggleton's wonderful traditional fish and chips. If you are seeking ideas for a proper Sunday roast, have a look at Galton Blackiston's Yorkshire pudding recipe and Martin Wishart's roast chicken with vegetables, sage and cider. Classic British puds in this collection includes Marcus Wareing's Manchester tart, Geoffrey Smeddle's Eton mess and Shaun Rankin's summer pudding with thick Jersey cream
