My book

pride-and-pudding-press-regula-ysewijn-2961-smaller

Pride and Pudding – The history of British Puddings Savoury and Sweet takes you on a journey through the fascinating culinary past of Great Britain.
Published by Murdoch Books in Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Also available in Dutch. It was selected as ‘Book of the Month’ by the Amazon Books editorial team in April 2016.

Captivated by British cuisine – from its ancient savoury dishes such as the Scottish haggis to traditional sweet and savoury pies, pastries, jellies and ices, flummeries, junkets and jam roly-poly – Regula tells the story of British food, paying homage in particular to the great British pudding, which is versatile and wonderful in all its guises.
By tracing back to authentic cookery texts, the earliest of which dates from 14th century, Regula has re-created more than 80 recipes for the twenty-first century, and in the process has rediscovered long-forgotten flavours and food fashions.
Part food history and part recipe book, filled with stunning photographs that are beautifully styled and that capture the essence of Britishness through its food, this is a refreshingly different kind of cookbook.

Praise for Pride and Pudding
It’s a labour of love that revives your faith in cookbooks – erudite, original, beautifully written, gorgeously shot and styled – something you’ll definitely want to own and leaf through. If it doesn’t win one of next year’s food writing and/or photography prizes I’ll be amazed.
Fiona Beckett
award-winning food and wine writer. Wine columnist for The Guardian and the author of 23 books on food, wine and beer.
This is quite definitely the most beautiful food book I have ever seen.
Regula Ysewijn has the aesthetic eye of an Old Master and the intelligence and attention to detail of a well-read scholar.
Every page is a delight. I would never have believed that a prune tart or cabbage pudding could look so captivating. You will want to have Pride and Pudding on your bookshelves. Not only because is it an extraordinarily fine looking book thats a pleasure to handle and behold, but also because the contents are fascinating.
Pride and Pudding is an astonishing achievement from an exceptional writer.
Joanna Blythman
acclaimed journalist and author of 7 books, most recent: ‘Swallow this’
Cook favourite and maverick creative Regula Ysewijn, is set to publish her first book, Pride and Pudding, in April. What started out as a childhood hankering for traditional English fare has become an all-consuming social study of the historical treats of Britain. And this is the beautifully illustrated, hardbacked result. Ysewijn collected handwritten cookbooks and vintage pudding moulds. She researched the etymologies of our dish names and the chronologies of our tastebuds. Crucially, she cooked the ancient recipes she came across, photographing, in glorious , painterly detail, jaune manges and apple tansies and glimmery almond flummeries. What a beauty of a book this is.

The Limited edition package with handmade pudding basin, a signed book, card set and signed art print. 
Another news is that I’ve been working on a little project with pottery artist Solomia Zoumaras to create a Pride and Pudding – pudding basin! We’re still trying out glazes and clays but we managed to get a good one out of the kiln to show to you lovely people! The cool thing is that on the outside the pudding basin is quite modern, but the inside has a different shape so that your christmas pudding will come out pudding-shaped! So here is the deal: There will be 25 pudding basins, handmade by Solomia and printed with a design from the book. These basins come with a signed book (Dutch or English) a card set designed by Bruno, and a signed art print of one of the illustrations.Right now you can sign up for pre-order of this package, we’ve got 25 packages available which will be numbered. If there is a lot of interest we might do an extra run which will not be numbered.
Sign up for the pre-order by emailing me (see contact page)
 
The limited edition costs 120 £ + shipping and contains*:
• A signed book – made out to whom you wish and personal message if you would like that
• The hand made pudding basin, designed by Solomia and I
• A card set with 5 cards (see below)
• A signed and numbered aprox. A5 size art print of one of the illustrations
(if you pre-order early before 15 march 2016, you will be able to choose which illustration if you would have a preference. After 15/03 the pack will be delivered with the same print chosen my us.

*we are still working on the design so please note that when you sign up for this limited edition that the design of the pudding basin might change a little, or the print on the pudding might change.
