 `The Gastropub' - a relaxed environment in which you can eat gutsy food with a taste of the region.' March 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
'The Gastropub Cookbook' has 224 high quality, shiny pages split over 11 chapters:-
The West Country
The South
The South East
London
Heart of England
East Anglia
Wales
Cumbria and the North West
Yorkshire and the North East
Scotland
Northern Ireland and Eire
sandwiched between an introduction and a concise index.
Each chapter begins with an introduction about the particular region and `spotlights' between 2 & 4 particularly good hostelries, then finishes with a `best of the rest' containing between 4 and 16 references depending on the size of the region.
All establishments featured have information regarding address, telephone numbers, menus, children welcome etc and the `spotlights' have an additional brief summary re the hosts, but the original book was written in 2003 - this ed 2005, so it would perhaps be wise to phone up and check that the same people and menu choices are in business!
Having said that, this is a very good stand alone recipe book with some exceptional dishes, clearly laid out with occasional photographs of the food, interspersed with relevant on location shots from Jason Lowe.
Recipes include:-
Casserole of Sea Fish with Saffron & Cream
Grav Lax
Beef and Mushroom Pie
Bitter Chocolate Tart with Blood Orange Ice Cream
Deep Fried Whitebait with Paprika Mayonnaise
Irish Stew
Twice Baked Swede & Farmhouse Cheddar Souffle
Chocolate and Rum Cake

Diana Henry does it again - after being enthralled by her last title, Crazy water Pickled lemons I was pleased to see the same
thoughtful and intelligent approach to what is a guide that
focuses on the finest eating pubs in the UK.A wide mix of recipes are included which range from simple to fairly complex - but it's easy to adapt them to your abilities and equipment.Of the 20 or so pubs featured each chef offers up
a sample of their style often including a starter, main course and dessert.Recipes seem to be well adapted from a commercial enviroment - making them tempting to cook yourself and each includes a few words beforehand to set the context - making me want to rush to the kitchen and get cooking. Also included in each regional chapter is a 'best of the rest'
section detailing boozers also visited with an idea of what to expect.This is what makes a great cookery book into a travelog,
you just can't wait to plan a long weekend away sampling these hostelries.Best be quick though the catering trade being what it is and businesses change hands... Overall a great read thats full of enthusiasm and passion.
Every one a winner! October 20, 2003

Diana Henry really has done all the hard work for you in this book. Every pub I have tried from it has been outstanding and then I don't even have to bother the chefs for their recipes because they are in the book too. I would honestly plan a weekend around the book now as I know I can be sure of a pretty, delicious and friendly welcome with any of her recommendations.
