Where can I found out about regional British food and traditional recipes?

Question

I'm looking for information about traditional British food like Lancashire Hotpot. I also want to find out about more obscure regional dishes - where they come from, how they are made, their history etc.

Answer 1

These are quite good.

Answer 2

Look for cook books by the following;

Mrs Beeton - The original cooking author from a very long time ago. She listed the original recipes etc.
Jamie Oliver - Re-invented British cooking
Keith Floyd - The original drinking chef
Delia Smith - Good basic cooking

Answer 3

There used to be a hilarious cooking show called "2 Fat Ladies". They were British & would travel all over England & cook different regional specialties. I'm sure they would have a website. Unfortunately, 1 of them passed away, & they probably thought "1 Fat Lady" would just be depressing.

Cheers

Answer 4

The Library at Birmingham College of Food

Answer 5

If you are looking for a book, then Mrs Beeton would be a good choice, but you could also check out Gary Rhodes' books. If you are looking for some info online, then you should have a good look at the BBC
