Kent is well known for having a wide range of produce. It has its own named varieties of livestock, fish, fruit and vegetables many of which have been grown since before Roman times and with a diversity of environments, boasts a choice of traditional dishes from land, sea and river.Susan has chosen the recipes in this book to highlight Kentish ingredients, and traditional recipes have been updated to fit today's busy, health-conscious lifestyle. Within its pages, traditional recipes such as those for Kentish Huffkins and Folkestone Pudding Pie lie next to modern favourites like Gypsy Tart and Harrison Oysters.Each recipe is accompanied by a short history of the ingredients, and is beautifully illustrated with pen and ink drawings from Colin McGowan."I've only lived in Kent for fifteen years," says Susan, " and sometimes I still feel like a bit of an newcomer! Lots of my friends can trace their families back through generations of Kentish men and women. Kent is a very special place, with a fabulous history, and the food we eat reflects this. Everyone should understand where they come from, and what their roots are, and I hope that this book will help people to do that."The recipes have been collected from library archives, vintage cookery books, and from local people themselves. "People have been ever so helpful," says Susan, "I think they are pleased to know that their heritage is important enough to be recorded. I hope The Butterfly Book of Kentish Recipes will find a place on many kitchen shelves, not just as a piece of history, but as a real working cookbook"
