A glorious celebration of butter, with lashings of sweet and savoury recipes. Butter is regarded as an everyday staple - it is a reminder of the joy of real food; at its root it does not have to be complicated, after all, the best things in life are often the simplest. In this book, devoted experts celebrate the timeless craft of making butter from scratch, as well as nourishing, fulfilling and indispensable recipes using butter as the key ingredient. Beyond the secret history and culture of butter, delve into recipes for making your own cultured variations at home such as Wild Garlic or Smoked Butter. Or enjoy recipes with butter at their heart, from Poached Turbot, Steak and Toasted Danish Daal to Sourdough Treacle Tart, Brioche Butter Pudding and Buttermilk and Marmalade Gelato, there are endless tempting dishes to enjoy. A love letter to beloved butter - this is an ode to the simple pleasure of cooking with butter for your artisan kitchen. Text is extracted and updated from Bread & Butter, by Eve Hemingway, Richard Snapes and Grant Harrington
