All You Can Eat: The Search for a New British Menu

'A celebration of how we eat now, Benton captures a Britain in flux' Matthew Ryle 'Ben writes about food in Britain with love, curiosity and joy' Max Halley Isn't British food meant to be bad? Stiff sandwiches, limp vegetables, dry roasts crying out for gravy. We've come a long way from the bad old days. Modern Britain is a vibrant culinary home to the world's most diverse range of foods, constantly evolving with every restaurant opening and new viral trend - and Ben Benton has been in hot pursuit, eating his way across Britain to discover what our national cuisine really tastes like today. Join the chef and food writer on a hungry odyssey in search of Britain's best (and worst) foods, travelling around the country to meet the chefs, shopkeepers, farmers and producers shaping our tastes with new dishes, fusions and flavours. From trendy bakeries in Manchester to the oyster sheds of Essex and the Balti houses of Birmingham, and from Bradford's mouth-watering masala fish and chips to the Korean hotspots of south-west London, All You Can Eat reveals a nation whose food is far wilder and more delicious than it knows.
