English food
Back in 1945 George Orwell was writing that "We are not likely to succeed in attracting tourists while England is thought of as a country of bad food". Have things changed since then? Certainly. England has become a major tourist destination. But has English food's reputation improved? Lonely Planet guide's recent description of English cuisine as "A culinary heritage of ready-sliced white bread, fatty meats and boiled-to-death vegetables" is not going to help. Of course not everyone takes such a dim view of English food.
And BBC2 is running a series of programmes called The Great British Food Revival where top British cooks and chefs offer cooking tips and recipes - see one of them.
