English Food Today
Modern English food is a hotbed of multicultural, high-quality dishes. Despite its negative reputation it earned for food due to a lack of money and resources in the early 20th century, today things have changed dramatically and many of the world’s most famous celebrity chefs are British (like Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver). Tourists come from all over the world to sample the many different cuisines England has to offer. Indian food especially has become ingrained in English culture, in fact, just a few years ago Chicken Tikka Masala - a creamy, orange-coloured chicken curry - was named England’s national dish.
Thanks to many famous English chefs and cooks, food in England has experienced a renaissance of sorts. Famed Chef Fergus Henderson is credited with taking popular and well-known food in England and transforming it into a nose-to-tail dining style with his restaurant St. John. His efforts have brought attention back to English food as he plays with classic dishes while implementing a modern, heightened twist. He talks about his methods and passion for reinvigorating English cuisine in his book, The Complete Nose to Tail: A Kind of British Cooking.
Other people who have helped improve the reputation of English food are Jamie Oliver, who was named one of the most influential people for food and drink in the UK and Nigella Lawson, who is credited with reinventing the cookbook after publishing How to Eat . These figures and other famous English cooks are largely responsible for getting the British excited about food again and inspiring people to be innovative in their own kitchens. Now, watching cooking competition shows like Masterchef and The Great British Bake Off are national past times - and crucially exported abroad, building a much better picture of English food.
Furthermore, today there are over 100 Michelin-starred restaurants in all of the UK, five of which are 3-starred restaurants (the highest mark) and are all located in England. Today, England is considered one of the best destinations in the world for sampling great food.
