Winner of Best British Book

  

The National Cookbook is the 2009 winner of the British Book Awards for the Best British Book

  

Since opening in 2006, the award-winning National Dining Rooms has established itself as a favourite with London's National Gallery visitors, offering a great British eating experience.

With the emphasis on sourcing the freshest and most flavoursome ingredients, this beautiful cookbook celebrates British produce throughout the seasons, from young spring asparagus, to summer pudding, to Christmas roast goose.

Familiar recipes get a new look – honey-glazed ham is cooked with cider and lavender – but old favourites are not forgotten: comforting, rich, fish pie, retro coronation chicken, sticky treacle tart.

The Gallery experience is celebrated by stunning details of masterpieces from one of the greatest collections of Western European paintings in the world.

‘The demanding perfectionist on Great British Menu is a reflection of Oliver's insistence on the best ingredients, simply cooked.

His restaurant in the National Gallery, close to so many masterpieces of painting, is one of the world's best locations.'
Prue Leith
Food Writer and Judge, Great British Menu

‘At last the National Gallery, which holds Britain's art treasures, has food to match thanks to another national treasure, Oliver Peyton.

Art and food go hand in hand, so you can take in Gainsborough's Mr and Mrs Andrews and then eat Oliver's banoffi pie. It completes the sensual experience.'
