My two publications, featuring local and traditional recipes alongside local scenes and a wealth of local and food history.
These books combine my own photography of landscape and food and my research and writing. They consider the beauty of place, the people who made it, and how food habits came about. The Lake District book is now in its third edition after over 10 years in print, and available from bookshops, my Dane Stone Publishing website, and below. The Yorkshire book is currently out of print.
The Lake District and Cumbria in Recipes and Photographs
The book concentrates on the Lake District, as early tourism led to a lot of new recipes. However, it covers the breadth of the present county of Cumbria, going back to Roman times, and the historic lake counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire north-of-the-sands.
Famous recipes include Sticky Toffee Pudding, Lakeland Gingerbread, Cumberland Rum Nicky, Tatie Pot, Borrowdale Teabread and Kendal Mint Cake.
The book contains 21 local and traditional recipes, 114 photographs of the landscape and food, and a map. It is B5 landscape format (240x168mm), and includes 32 pages in full colour.
Price: £4.50, postage free in the UK.
