The future of British cooking, inspired by the food of the past- a year of recipes, ingredients and photographs from a walled garden in Somerset

The Ethicurean philosophy is simple- eat local, celebrate native foods, live well.

The Ethicurean is quietly changing the face of modern British cooking– all from a walled garden in the heart of the Mendip Hills. The Ethicurean Cookbook follows a year in their magnificent kitchen and garden,- and celebrates the greatest food, drink and traditions of this fair land.

The combinations are electric- confit rabbit is paired with lovage breadcrumbs, cured roe deer flirts with wood sorrel, and foraged nettle soup is fortified by a young Caerphilly. The salads are as fresh as a daisy- honeyed walnuts nestle amongst beetroot carpaccio, rich curd cheese is balanced by delicate cucumber. And the comfort of pies and puds - pork and juniper pie, Eccles cakes with Dorset Blue Vinny- - is only enhanced by the apple juice, cider and beer poured in equal measure.

With 120 recipes and a year of seasonal inspiration in photographs and words, Ethicureanism is a new British cooking manifesto.
