AROUND 20 Ryedale firms and one celebrity chef will be included in the latest edition of a book promoting the best in food and drink from around Yorkshire and the Humber.
Deliciouslyorkshire is launching the 2010 edition of its "bible" - Yorkshire's Own Kitchen - during the Great Yorkshire Show this week.
Now in its fourth year, the book features recipes and a guide to food and drink in the region and is a showcase

All deliciouslyorkshire members are listed in the guide's directory, pointing consumers to the variety and quality of the region's food and drink - whether cooking at home or eating out.
The guide also recommends days out and places to stay, from the lower dales to the Yorkshire coast.
Jane Chamberlain, deliciouslyorkshire communications manage, said: "Provenance, seasonality and supporting small producers, as well as great taste, are all key concerns for consumers and this book is a great addition to any foodie's kitchen, bookshelf or glove compartment."
The guide also features a special section on uniquelyorkshire products – those which have been awarded Protected Food Name status - such as Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb, Swaledale Cheese and Grimsby Traditional Smoked Haddock.
