Takeaway

A photographic documentary of the increasing diversity of ethnic food, its preparation, presentation and consumption, and how the nation's increasing breadth of palates have enriched and reconfigured traditional British taste. The book features over 250 colour photographs taken in markets, specialist religious butchers, restaurants and takeaways in urban centres and ethnic communities in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff. New variants and combinations of dishes like falafel, Jamaican patties, samosas and moussaka are zealously promoted and consumed alongside traditional "English" breakfasts in a country where curry has taken over from fish and chips as the unofficial national dish.
