Sitwell — who is the editor of Waitrose Kitchen, which is the U.K.'s version of Bon Appétit — has chosen his recipes not necessarily because they are delicious, but because they illustrate a particular stage in our culinary history.
There was a room heaving with ruddy-faced Pyreneean types, beaming expansively and inviting "los ingleses" to join them in their hearty lunch of cold cuts of delicious but not necessarily NHS-approved local meats, complete with buckets-full of robust red wine.

Still, it's so damn delicious that adding anything to it seems like... not necessarily painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa, but perhaps hanging it at a slightly crooked angle.
Not necessarily in the physical sense, because that would mean giving away something substantive and delicious.
These rooms may conjure up delicious visions among would-be celebrity chefs, but that doesn't mean sellers will necessarily recoup their investments.
This band is about feeling, not necessarily understanding, and while "Fein Funnel Fresh aches" might hold some resonance for some, I prefer the whole delicious experience of this song to any form of lyrical epiphany.
