The Essex Cook Book

About this book

If there's one thing the Essex folk know about, it's seafood. They have been harvesting fish and crustaceans from its ever-changing coastline for centuries now and independent foodie businesses are responsible for serving them up in the most delicious ways possible. Whether it's reared cattle from its marshlands, crisp wine from their legacy of bountiful vineyards, game from its thick forests, or flour from the local millers turned into bread from artisan bakers, it's clear that the Essex food and drink scene is not something to be trifled with! Take your pick from the mouth-watering recipes exhibited in this book by the makers and bakers of this rural county, peek behind the scenes to discover their culinary secrets. Or set off on an excursion to the enviable waterfront locations and try the fare for yourself. Roll up your sleeves and get stuck in!
