Gary Rhodes specializes in the traditional British dishes that have fallen from favour because of their humble ingredients, or have been overshadowed by the razzmatazz of nouvelle cuisine. In the book he presents over 100 recipes, many of them updated versions of classic dishes such as braised oxtail, Lancashire hotpot, & boiled bacon with pearl barley & lentils. Vegetarian dishes are also included. In the introduction, Rhodes elaborates on how to cook vegetables in traditional ways such as roasting & braising, & how to make dressings, marinades, chutneys & pickles. ...

By the late fifteenth century Ottoman Turkish mastery of the Eastern Mediterranean was nearly complete. However, the tiny island of Rhodes, just a few kilometres from the south-west coast of Turkey, remained a thorn in their side. Home to the walled headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller, a crusading Order of ”warrior monks”, Rhodes was besieged for three months by the full might of the Turkish army & artillery in 1480, but emerged undefeated. The Ottomans would inevitably return, so the Hospitallers strengthened & adapted their fortifications & defences in preparation for another siege. The Ottomans attacked again in 1522 &, after six months, captured Rhodes but were unable to defeat the Hospitallers who were allowed to leave with their lives, arms & possessions. Why were the Knights Hospitaller able to remain undefeated against the most powerful military force in the world? & what changes were made to the fortifications of their island stronghold? This book uniquely uses the eyewitness accounts, surviving guns & extant walls to deconstruct the story of these two sieges in detail, & uses these events as a backdrop to explore the wider relationship between the development of gunpowder weapons & the fortifications built to defend against them. Including detailed appendices with a wealth of images of the cannon & walls, this book will fascinate not only visitors to Rhodes, but also those who are interested in the art of medieval warfare. ...
