But not only does the new cook book include the local cider makers, but the pork dish on the front cover was actually cooked by Amanda Saxby in her family kitchen at Farndish near Wellingborough.

For many families, working the land and raising livestock is a true labour of love, and what they produce is the backbone of the country's food and drink.

The dishes in this book make the most of local and seasonal ingredients, creating delicious meals, puddings and bakes that anyone can cook up at home.

Alongside that, members of these farming families have told the stories of their livelihoods: from losing sheep in snowstorms to stoking enthusiasm in the next generation, their honesty and passion is an inspiration and an education.

It is hoped that the food and stories in this book help put British farming back on the map with tasty dishes being enjoyed on tables around the country.

Saxby’s Cider grow their own apples in the orchards on the farm.

These are carefully selected English cider varieties and dessert fruits which they slowly mature and expertly blend.

Their award-winning range of ciders are pressed on the family farm using real real cider and real fruit juices.
