English Recipes
Every corner of England offers superb produce and fine things to eat and drink. The cooking of England varies from region to region and is influenced by the changing landscapes and industries within it.
Scottish Recipes
The famous Scottish saying "S mairg a ni tarcuis air biadh," ("He who has contempt for food is a fool.") describes precisely the attitude to food in Scotland. From the national dish of Haggis (sheep's intestine cooked in a sheep's stomach), to the finest whisky in the world, and what would breakfast be without the ubiquitous porridge.
Welsh Recipes
Wales may be the smallest country in the British Isles but this in no way reflects on the vast array of fine produce to eat and drink. The Welsh are famous for their meats, fish and seafood, their cheeses are unique and they even produce wine at Llanerch Vineyard near Cardiff.
Irish Recipes
Home and family have always played an important role in the lives of the Irish. They may no longer have the open hearth but as a rule the kitchen still remains the center of the household. Potatoes feature extensively in Irish cooking and it is also famed for its soda breads and cakes, cheeses,seafood, beef and without doubt its two most famous drinks; Guinness and Whiskey.
