It is a guide celebrating fascinating people, fine architecture, history, landscape and real food. Meet farmers, literary people, wine-makers and craftsmen - all with rich stories to tell. The Slow Food revolution is upon us and food plays a big part in this guide; we celebrate the homemade and the homegrown meals that are produced with care, skill and love. We include original and authentic recipes from all corners of Britain, too. The guide is bought to life with beautiful photography and fresh writing.
