Big recommendation for Jane Grigson, particularly "English Food"
Exceptionally well written and researched.For English cakes and puddings I would also recommend the original 1977 version of Delia's Cake book

Any idea if the 80's ones are ok? The OG ed seems pretty pricey now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DELIA-SMITHS-BOOK-OF-CAKES-by-DELIA-SMITH-H-B-D-W-1977-3-25-UK-POST/203252875700?hash=item2f52d0c1b4:g:No0AAOSwHYpgBvyw

Ah, I shouldn't have used the word 'original', perhaps definitive is better. Just the most common version of a recipe - only refined to be better than average in taste and texture - rather than the "my lemon drizzle has chocolate chips because why not!" kind.
