London, the vibrant capital of Britain, has a rich culinary heritage that spans centuries, drawing food enthusiasts from all over the world. From Tudor oyster pedlars and Victorian pie and mash shops to the thriving supper clubs and street food scene thriving today, London has always been a tantalizing destination for those with a passion for fine dining. In her book "Made in London," Londoner Leah Hyslop offers a joyful celebration of the city and its food, past and present.

The book features a delectable array of recipes invented in the city, including the 18th-century treat Chelsea buns, a favorite of King George II. Additionally, there are new and exciting dishes inspired by Leah's eating adventures around the capital, such as a mouthwatering Pimms and lemon curd trifle, an unusual goats cheese and cherry tart, and an easy twist on Indian restaurant Dishoom's iconic bacon naan, one of the best brunches in London.

Interspersed with the recipes are short, entertaining histories and profiles about London's food scene, including the tale of the 18th-century gin craze, a profile of the East Ends most beloved greasy spoon, and the intriguing theory that Scotch eggs might have actually been invented in a London department store.

Furthermore, the book includes concise shopping guides that provide valuable insights into the city's culinary offerings, covering topics such as where to buy cheese, the city's most delicious chocolate shops, and the best cocktail bars for a nightcap or two. Beautifully illustrated with contemporary photographs of London and vintage images sourced from historic archives, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever lived in, visited, or simply dreamt of sipping a cocktail while watching red buses trundle by in the world's greatest city.
