Fakeaway recipes in Leeds

Leeds has one of the strongest curry scenes outside London, with the Kirkgate Market and the Cross Keys area holding down the budget end and places like Prashad, Bundobust and Tharavadu holding down the upscale end. The city was one of the first in the UK to embrace Indian restaurants — Leeds Indian restaurants have been serving the same curries since the 1960s.

For British food, Yorkshire pudding is the signature — proper Yorkshire pudding with a Sunday roast, or with onion gravy as a starter. The roasts at places like Moorish, The Midnight Baker and Salvo's are worth booking ahead for. Yorkshire cheese (Wensleydale, Yorkshire Blue) is also a local specialty.

For chains: McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Subway, Nando's, Pizza Hut, Domino's. All on every high street. The Headingley student area has the strongest Greggs concentration.

Leeds-specific dishes: Yorkshire pudding (separate from a roast, served as a starter with onion gravy), Yorkshire curd tart, Wensleydale cheese. All easily reproducible at home.
