Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Welsh rarebit

    • Bessp on January 04, 2026

      This was a delicious, quick meal. I added a splash of Worcestershire sauce because I like it in a rabbit. I served with a green salad for a light dinner. It would also be good with some sauteed leeks or zucchini under the cheese.

  • Onions with cream sauce and Wensleydale cheese

    • mjes on August 31, 2021

      I grew up on onions with cream sauce seasoned with paprika. Here one seasons with nutmeg and adds Wensleydale cheese. This is very good; I like it even better when I add some English peas.

Publishers Text

A collection of 200 delicious country recipes from the National Trust.

This wonderful collection of 200 traditional recipes brings you the best of British country cooking. There are mouth-watering recipes for every occasion, from soups, starters and light meals to hearty stews and pies, delicious puddings and teatime treats to fruity jams and spicy chutneys.

The rhythms of rural life influenced country meals and dishes and led to tasty slow-cooked stews and hotpots and the rituals of baking bread, cakes and pies. There is a balance of classic ‘good plain cooking’ and rich, well-seasoned dishes often rooted in a particular region and focusing on local ingredients.

Choose from time-honoured family favourites such as Slow Roast Belly Pork with Root Vegetables, Shepherd’s Pie, Apple Cake and Bakewell Pudding, or discover lesser-known regional country gems like Cornish Fish Pie, traditional Welsh Stew or Cumberland Girdle Cakes.
