When it comes to strange names for culinary dishes, the English can boast a few. Pan Haggerty is a traditional Northumbrian dish of potatoes and onions flavoured with cheese. But perhaps it's Bubble & Squeak that takes your fancy? A traditional breakfast dish, it gets its name from the cabbage which makes bubbling and squeaking sounds during cooking. On the more conventional front, just find a good-quality English greengrocer to create delicious and unusual vegetarian dishes, the best of which may be the leek and cheese sausage. With a harvest of fresh beans, peas, carrots and courgettes you have all the ingredients to make a rich terrine of vegetables that looks great too. It could be that an asparagus and pecorino risotto or a roast squash salad with feta cheese and toasted seeds is most tempting, but then again some of the most popular pub foods in England at the moment are a good vegetarian curry or mac 'n' cheese. This new series offers up a range of these delicious vegetarian recipes utilising the finest ingredients for both traditional and contemporary English dishes. Recipes included: Vegetable Terrine; Carrot and Spinach Flan; Pan Haggerty; Bubble & Squeak; Spinach, Stilton, Celery and Walnut Filo Ring; Broccoli and Goats Cheese Tart; Vegetable Curry; Asparagus and Pecorino Risotto; Roast Squash Salad with Feta Cheese & Toasted Seeds; Mac 'n' Cheese.

A warming bowl of soup for winter or a cooling bowl of iced soup for summer, England can boast the best of both with recipes such as thick, rich Split Pea and York Ham soup or cool cream of Watercress for a warm summer's day. For a sophisticated starter, why go further than a plate of smoked salmon. The Foreman family have been curing and smoking fish in the East End of London since 1905 and their London Cure Scottish Smoked Salmon is said to be the finest in the world. For a taste of the sea to start your meal perhaps a devilled crab from Northumberland or across on the west coast even some of the famous Morcambe Bay potted shrimps. Then there is always the delicious Cumbrian Ham produced by the Woodall family or even some beetroot salad with warm black pudding a product synonymous with Lancashire cuisine. East Anglia produces some of the best asparagus ever and this teams up well with local cheese, but there again, wild mushrooms and Kentish cobnut pate might fit the bill too.

As an island surrounded by the sea, it's no wonder that fish have always played a major part of the English diet. Way back in the 18th century the most popular fish dishes in London were jellied eels and oysters while on the south coast of Kent sole were so prolific that they became known as Dover sole, and along the Northumberland coast smoke houses were built to produce delicious kippers. In fact, the 19th century novelist Arnold Bennett had a smoked haddock omelette created for him by the chef of the Savoy Hotel. English rivers are famous for producing hours of marvellous salmon and trout fishing; head to the Lake District to find dishes of salmon or the Avon river in Hampshire for trout.
