What defines British cooking
British cooking favors straightforward, comforting flavors built on simple staples like eggs, butter, and flour, whether in a Sunday roast dinner, a savory pie, or a classic sponge cake. Home cooks lean on techniques like baking, roasting, and simmering, often finishing dishes with a rich gravy or custard. The result is food that prizes reliability and warmth over showiness, seasoned with mustard, herbs, or a squeeze of lemon rather than heavy spice.
