Oats in the North, Wheat from the South by Regula Ysewijn

Oats in the North, Wheat from the South is a guided tour of Great Britain's baking heritage. Each of the timeless recipes is accompanied by stories of the landscape, legends and traditions of Great Britain, from Saffron cake, Cornish pasties, Welsh Bara brith, Shrewsbury cakes and Isle of Wight doughnuts to tarts, oatcakes, gingerbreads, traditional loaves, buns and bread rolls such as Aberdeen butteries and Kentish huffkins. Regula shows us how the diverse climate of the British Isles influenced the growth of cereal crops and the development of a rich regional baking identity. She explains how imports of spices, sugar, treacle, fortified wines and citrus added flavour, colour and warmth to a baking culture much adored and replicated all over the world.

"A feast for the eyes, as well as the stomach, meticulously researched and beautifully photographed, this is a true love letter to the food British does bestOne to savour, and treasure, but most of all, one to bake from!"
Felicity Cloake, The Guardian

"An excellent and diligently written book celebrating some super-tasty British treats" Jamie Oliver
