British menu with a twist

There's no doubt that British food's ever-heightening reputation has something to do with the increased imagination applied by chefs to traditional ingredients and dishes. British cuisine has received and embraced a deluge of exotic flavours and styles from other cultures over the past decade, but, as the recipes below show, this has not replaced the Britishness of our menu; rather it has inspired and invigorated it. Why not experiment and create your own new British favourites? Apply different techniques to British ingredients or embolden and modernise a classic recipe with a dramatic new flavour.
