Rambler's Rewards is a cookery book using produce found along the coast to coast route - a great fish pie with fish from Whitby, traditional lamb from the Yorkshire Dales, sausage pie with Cumberland sausage meat.



With recipes and landscapes wonderfully photographed by Derry Brabbs, the book follows a walk through the day - from hearty and healthy breakfasts, through to lunch at home or on the move, tea time treats and suggestions for supper. The recipes are either quick and easy to prepare at the end of a busy day or could have been prepared in advance and frozen, refrigerated or left on a timer for when you get in.



Inspired by years of walking and holidaying along the Coast to Coast route, the recipes inspire you to plan a great day out as well as celebrating the variety and abundance of wonderful produce available in the North of England. More than that, they are also ideal for our demanding and often chaotic everyday lives. A casserole prepared in the evening to be waiting in the oven after a busy day at work; an economical and healthy bowl of soup for lunch at the office; pizza slice and honey & seed flapjacks for the children's lunch box; a sumptuous cake for a family tea or a quiche, salad and glass of wine to share with friends. There is a recipe for every occasion which you are sure to find straight forward yet rewarding to make.

Every home has one or two cookbooks - usually collecting dust on an out-of-reach shelf in the kitchen - and there's no cause to use them because the dishes are too difficult or the ingredients are impossible to come by. Rambler's Rewards aims to counter that problem by making local delicacies using local produce, from along the Coast to Coast route. - North West Evening Mail

A handsome, traditional cookbook full of wholesome recipes for the best of British fare. - Cumberland News

Elizabeth Guy and Pat Kirkbride know their food and believe in sourcing the best ingredients which are often to be obtained locally from producers who are equally passionate about the quality of their food. They also know how to make their food look and taste as though it has just come out of the oven in a large old farmhouse in the Dales. Derry Brabbs provides the final ingredient with photographs that tempt you to eat the food and walk the fells. You can decide which you want to do first. - Workington Times & Star

People, places, local produce and family chat are all part of this book which reflects the fact that this is not just one of the most beautiful countrysides to walk through but also beats an equally unforgettable culinary path for us across the north of England. This lovely book will make a very acceptable Christmas present for anyone eager to learn how to cook. Bon appétit! - Keswick Reminder
