British food is often treated as a joke, especially in Britain. Memories of meals cooked in the school and are too bulky sweets abound. But food in Britain is through a kind of rebirth, where traditional recipes are invented and re-launched as explore new techniques and styles are brought into the kitchen.

It must be said, however, that English cuisine has always tended to excel in sweets. Here we present two desserts. A classic "Pudding"and a cake with a new school of British cuisine.
