United Kingdom recipes
British cooking is four nations of very different kitchens: English roasts, pies and puddings, Scottish oats, smoke and seafood, Welsh lamb, leeks and bakestone baking, and Northern Irish griddle breads and farm dairy, plus the curry houses, Caribbean, West African and Cantonese kitchens that made modern Britain.
