“From the cockles and oysters of Cumbria, through to the meats and cheeses of Lancashire and Cheshire, the North West has some of the finest ingredients around, so it’s no surprise that the region is renowned for its cookery and has contributed more than its fair share of dishes on tables across the nation.''
Robert Owen Brown, Executive Head Chef at the Mark Addy.
A Taste of Modern History is a brand new recipe book featuring traditional North West recipes, including family recipes kindly donated by folk across the North West, as well as a recipe from Robert Owen Brown himself!
Quickstep Pudding, Lancashire Hot Pot and Parched Peas are just some of the dishes included in A Taste of Modern History, and if you want to explore the culinary heritage of the North West even further there are some great ideas for days out!.
