When the aroma of scones spreads over the afternoon tea tables in London, when the cream layer of Victoria sponge cakes reflects at weddings, when the Christmas pudding rises with brandy mist in the flames - British desserts are never just sweet on the tip of the tongue, but also an epic of life engraved on tableware. From oatmeal cakes in the Scottish Highlands to multi-layer cakes at royal banquets, from simple puddings under wartime rationing to classic recipes transformed by contemporary molecular cuisine, this book will take you through British kitchens, teahouses and holiday tables, and dismantle the cultural codes behind each dessert: Why must scones be served with clotted cream? What kind of blessings are hidden in the coins in the Christmas pudding? When tradition meets innovation, how do these desserts tell the elegance and tenacity of a country?
