The Really Quite Good British Cookbook? Let's start with the title. It's just like the British to be so understated. It's not just Really Quite Good. It's also Really Quite Enormous, Really Quite Amazing, and Really Quite Packed with Delicious Recipes from Amazing Chefs. 

Seriously, we're talking over 400 pages of recipes from 100 of Britain's favorite cooks, restaurant chefs, celebrity chefs, food writers, bakers, and home cooks. With gorgeous photography and some fascinating mini-bios, this cookbook is packed with everything really quite good about British cooking. 

It's well organized, with recipes tagged with prep time and cook time as well as the skill level needed to complete the recipe. Also, recipes are marked as dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegetarian when appropriate, and the index includes listings for these as well. And the recipes range from breakfasts to meats, sides to desserts. They come from an assortment of chefs as well as a fusion of cuisines--you'll see hints of Italian, Indian, French, and Asian cuisines. 

Here are just a few of the recipes you'll find: Happy Fish Pie from Jamie Oliver; Pea and Mint Croquettes from Yotam Ottolenghi; Roast Woodcock on Toast with Wild Mushrooms from Marco Pierre White; Ham in Coca-Cola from Nigella Lawson; Burnt Garlic, Lemon and Chili Squid from Nadiya Hussain; Lemon Tart from Michel Roux; and from Delia Smith, Fallen Chocolate Souffle with Armagnac Prunes. And that barely even begins to cover it. 

And if that wasn't enough, the cover and interior were designed by Sir Peter Blake, and a portion of the profits from the book are going to the Trussell Trust, an organization in the UK that runs several food banks. 

So have I given you enough reasons to pick up this amazing cookbook and take a look? You definitely should. Just remember to take a wheelbarrow to cart it out of the store! Quite!
