Confident and influential the gastropub movement has grown into a vibrant and essential part of all that is good about British food and cooking in the 21st century. Trish Hilferty, the award-winning cookery writer and award-winning chef of The Fox Dining Room in London, has written a book that pulls together all the classic dishes that combine to make up the definitive recipe list for lovers of gastropub cooking. These are recipes taken from Trish's own stunning menus, drawing on influences from Britain, Europe and the antipodes - in addition Trish has included a number of additional great classic dishes from leading fellow gastropub chefs. Written in her inimitably clear and precise no nonsense style, with striking photography by Jason Lowe, this is a book to turn to time and time again - wonderful dishes packed full of gutsy and bold flavours - the epitome of all that is so good about the gastropub repertoire.

The pub is a prominent social institution integral to British identity. From Taverns of Gastropubs: Food, Drink, and Sociality in England charts the historical development of the English public house from the Restoration period to the twenty-first century, culminating in the contemporary gastropub. It explores issues of class, gender, and national identification to understand the social identity of patrons and how publicans conceive of their establishments' organizational identity. In the context of large-scale pub closures since the 1990s the gastropub is viewed as both a reaction to the traditional drinking pub and as a promising alternative. From Taverns to Gastropubs uses historical diaries, industry reports, and a wealth of in-depth interviews in order to understand the rise of the gastropub and how food, drink, and sociality has changed through time.

Grillhouse is not an attempt at redefining food, but rather a celebration of the classics—simple, casual, fun and delicious.
