Catherine Rothwell has gathered together more than 130 traditional Cornish recipes in her latest book. Cornwall has always had a strong culinary tradition, with many dishes having their origins in the county. Some of those featured have wonderful names such as Star-Gazey Pie and Bill’s Treacle Dunkers to name but two. Of course there are the more recognizable treats, too, like Cornish Pasties and regional variations of jam, bread, and wine recipes. As one would expect, she has featured lots of fish dishesthe coastal towns and villages relied heavily on the sea for sustenance in days gone byand celebrity chef Rick Stein has even contributed one of his own famous recipes for Monkfish with Garlic and Fennel. Interwoven with Catherine’s recipes are stories and anecdotes from her contributors, as well as historical tales of the places featured. The whole of the county from Anthony to Zennor is covered, and is a fascinating read not only for those interested in regional cookery, but also in local history, customs, and traditions.

<p>Liverpool In Old Photographs brings to life the history of a famous port and city over the past century. Concentrating on its varied shipping and unparalleled waterfront, its historic streets and buildings of outstanding architectural interest, together with the lives of ordinary citizens, this well-illustrated book affords an opportunity to look back on what has now become a city of change and challenge. Driven by poverty, cholera and unemployment, thousands flocked to the city in the 19th century, hoping to either settle there or to use it as a springboard to a better life through the cheap means of escape offered by the shipping companies. Jobs in the New World and wealth in the Australian gold fields beckoned, but overcrowding resulted in slums developing alongside some of the finest buildings in Europe. Pride in achievement and strength in adversity, coupled with grit and humour, characterise this 'Scouse' port, imbuing it with a phoenix-like qualtiy of survival. This book, with over 200 photographs, tells a great story.</p>

There can be no better example of Victorian enterprise than the amazing success story of Blackpool whose pioneering spirit embodied all the unflagging, indomitable confidence of that age. "He who dares wins." This was the watchword, and bold publicity coupled with diligent application of the town’s motto "Progress" proved it to be true. There were great natural advantagesseven miles of flat, golden sands washed twice daily by no ordinary sea but "the bounding main." With the help of the railways, equally confident and zealous, the workers were speedily brought from sprawling, industrial areas and once in, they were captivated. Here was splendor in buildings and interiors envisaged only in fairy tales. Here was safe bathing (all the rage) and the facilities that went with it. Here was a cornucopia of entertainment and daylong merriment extending into night. Every Bank Holiday after the opening of Blackpool Tower signaled some new and entrancing addition to the pleasure dromes. The crowds came in the thousands year after year, as children, with their own children, and with their grandchildren, to "wonderful Blackpool, the most progressive resort under the flag." This book is a truly wonderful record of the growth of Blackpool into the national treasure it is today.

The north-west coast of England is renowned for a number of reasons, not the least being its fierce storms with the inevitable loss of life, damage, shipwrecks, attending lifeboats and emerging heroism which such perilous situations aroused. Local historian and author Catherine Rothwell has spent forty-nine years on the Fylde coast and the dangerous waters of the Irish Sea awakened in her wonder and fascination with the sea in all its moods. Illustrated with photographs and images of ships, wrecks, mariners and ports and including the recent high-profile wreck of the Riverdance, this book revises and expands work Catherine originally undertook almost thirty years ago, making it a unique guide to the shipwrecks of the north-west.

More than a century ago, shipbuilding was considered cheaper in the north-west and so developed the mighty ports of Liverpool and Lancaster, who built ships for many others ports, among them London. The north-west region of Britain boasts a great variety of ports and harbors and local author Catherine Rothwell traveled the length of the coastline and visited them all. This history encompasses such ports as Birkenhead, Liverpool, Manchester, Southport, Lytham, Blackpool, Morecombe, Ulverston, Whitehaven, and Barrow-in-Furness  Taking in the local characters who shaped the ports as well as their history, Catherine Rothwell revises and expands work she originally undertook nearly 20 years ago and offers a unique illustrated history and guide to the ports and harbors of the north-west.

<p>'To discover the real Devonian you have to talk about food,' claims Catherine Rothwell in her introduction, and true enough, after a lifetime of collecting authentic local recipes the length and breadth of the country, she finds that this 'beautiful county of fulfilled promise and pleasant surprise' is the spiritual home of so many of Britain's best-known and best-loved dishes. The recipes include Sheep's Head Soup, Salmon Pie, Devonshire Pasty, Stewed Ox Kidney, Plymouth Lamb, Snow Pancakes and Blackberry Wine. Guest cook Sir John Gielgud offers his speciality, Roman Pie, and we travel to Rockford to make Tomato Chutney and to Lynmouth for Blackcurrant Fool. A few seconds with this book and you are guaranteed to have an appetite the size of 'Heavenly Devonly'!</p>
