Recipes
Nottinghamshire Pie
Beef and Stilton cheese represent a combination classic and deliver outstanding flavours. Because it’s easy to make and tastes great, Nottinghamshire Pie is the perfect dish to add as an Easy Beef Recipe in your personal cookbook collection.
Welsh Cakes
These traditional Welsh Cakes would normally be baked on a baking stone over a fire. In fact, the Welsh name for these cakes is ‘pice ar y maen’ which translates to ‘cakes on the stone’.
Bakewell Tart
Without doubt, the Bakewell Tart is one of my favourites. The intense flavour of almond teases that joyful ‘yum’ sound from my mouth every time I take a bite of this deliciously satisfying sweet treat.
Cheshire soup
Some parts of Cheshire are considered among the most affluent parts of the UK. Naturally, I had high expectations as to what Cheshire may have in store for us.
Brioche Burger Buns
let me point out that more often than not, the success of any burger is more about what accompanies the meat patty. I’m talking about the filling – cheese or no cheese, salad, mayo, bacon – then figuring out what pairs perfectly with what and which ingredients may just get lost in the mash up. One thing is for sure, you needn’t worry about the bun your burger is nestled in, because these little butties are fantastic!
Manchester Tart
The Manchester Tart made regular appearances in the 1980s for me, featured as it was on my weekly school dinner menu. I’m guessing it showed up often because a jar of jam, some Bird’s instant custard, and a pastry case were cheap to source and made for a quick and simple dessert to satisfy herds of hungry little faces.
Lancashire Hotpot
Hotpot calls for a slow cook to ensure a tender lamb to go along with the pickled cabbage, sweetened carrots, and of course a pint of bitter. Betty would be proud.
French Onion Soup: A Cold Weather Classic
this dish is a real classic and was a mainstay of my childhood food experiences. It’s a bit playful, with crusty croutons, caramelised onions, and a heartwarming hint of port; it’s also a bit serious with a savoury, rich depth of flavour. Truly anyone can appreciate a good French Onion Soup.
Indian-British Fusion Curry
Shrimoyee came to England three years ago for her Masters. She now works as a Marketing Executive by day, but transforms into a Food Blogger at night. After experiencing serious disappoints with Indian cuisine in Britain, Shrimoyee decided to begin a food blog, focusing on sharing authentic and delicious Indian recipes that she finds lacking on many menus.
Christmas Pudding Cupcakes with Custard Icing
Over the past six months I have made a couple of decisions which will hopefully prove to be worthwhile. One is potentially life changing – my decision to leave full-time employment, rent out my house, and train as a professional chef at Tante Marie in Surrey
