In Defence of English Cooking

Book • 1945
In 'In Defence of English Cooking', George Orwell argues that English cuisine is unfairly maligned and offers examples of its originality and quality, such as traditional potato dishes and sauces.

He notes that good English cooking is often found in private homes rather than restaurants.

The essay was first published in the 'Evening Standard' in 1945.
