Great British Cooking

Classic British recipes, each with a hand-painted watercolour. Browse, tick off ingredients, and follow step-by-step Cook Mode. Free, offline, no need to sign up.

Great British Cooking is a warm, simple cookbook for the British classics — from a proper Full English and Fish and Chips to Victoria Sponge, Bakewell Tart and Sticky Treacle Pudding.

Delicious recipes, each one written by hand and paired with its own hand-painted watercolour illustration. No stock photos, no clutter, no endless scrolling past life stories to reach the method — just good food, clearly laid out.

A different Recipe of the Day greets you each morning, so there's always something to cook. Browse by category — roasts, pies and pastry, baking and puddings, breakfast, fish, and more — or open the full A–Z.

Inside every recipe:

A short intro with a bit of the history and the story behind the dish.

Ingredients you can tap to tick off as you gather them.

A clear, step-by-step method in the cook's own words.

Cook Mode — a big, focused, one-step-at-a-time view that shows exactly what you need for each step, so you can leave your phone on the counter and just cook.
