Complete Traditional Recipe Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have found that British food - especially the traditional foods that have stood the test of time - have much more to offer than the blanket dismissal of them would suggest. Have you ever had a well-made "Toad-In-The-Hole?" or a great "Sherry Trifle?" How about a nice Pork Pie or Eel Stew. Well, done right, these dishes can change the way you think about British food and British food traditions. Not sure, start with something foolproof like Kedgeree - really just rice, smoked haddock, hard-boiled eggs and spices. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! And quite a treat! Some cookbook features include: Nice pictures and quite a few of them. A crazy 70's font that seems to be just right for the subject. Comprehensive collection of recipes covering every "discipline" from soups and meat dishes to hot and cold puddings to drinks and confectionery. Some quick and interesting historical context is thrown in for those who require and enjoy it. Perfect for the anglophile or international cook in your household.

Providing a source of the best of traditional British cooking, these recipes range from starters to puddings, featuring Medieval Braised Rabbit with Prunes, treats such as Apple Hat and College Pudding, and delicate desserts like Damson Snow and Marbled Rose Cream. Though the emphasis is on the practical, historical background is also included for some of the key dishes within the book—from the first creamy macaroni cheese (first made in England in the 14th century but then not again until the 18th century when it returned from Italy) to 19th-century mulligatawny soup (derived from Southern India). The National Trust has researched the archives to find an authentic but delicious taste of history.

Good Old-Fashioned Puddings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have made one pudding so far (Bachelor's) and it was really good, but I had to go online to learn about all the different kinds of sugar (caster, demerara, etc) called for in the book. Maybe I'm just ignorant! I couldn't find them where I live, and I didn't want to order sugar online, so I ended up substituting brown sugar for the demerara and whirling granulated sugar in the food processor for the caster sugar. Turned out fine, but be prepared to be a little creative. (Also, clotted cream is not readily available where I live--not sure I would even try it if it were--so I used whipped cream. OK, I'm a crass Yank, I admit it). Additionally, for those who still resist getting a kitchen scale, like me, the measurements are only given in grams/ounces. There's a table in the front with rough translations of ounces to cups, but it's obviously not precise, and yes I do know that all flour is different and weighing it is the BEST way, but I'm too attached to my counter space, still.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are the recipies that were usually not written down, at least in english, in my husband's family, because they were handed down from mother to daughter. Everything from the traditional knedlicky (dumplings) and pork roast, to the various Christmas cookies is in here. My copy is so spattered, I'm buying a new copy to save for the next generation.
