English Recipes

[americantrotter]

Apologies if this has been done before.

I do the cooking in the household and I'd like to try to cook more English meals. I generally find most British stuff here to be Irish or a poor imitation of what I want. When i search online I can't even find a pasty recipe that isnt Cornish. (I can make a dry pasty just fine thank you)

Anyone got some recipes to share or could someone point me to a decent English recipe site?

Steak & Kidney pudding is always a winner, especially topped with extravagant amount of gravy.

Prufrock has a good recipe for that.

Many old fashioned British recipes contained offal, so they are falling/have fallen out of fashion.

You'll probably want to buy some books though, as much vaunted as the internet is, it doesn't scratch the surface of the world's books. Particular favourites include:

Rhubarb and Black Pudding (Paul Heathcoat - from Bolton of all places).
Nose to Tail Eating (Fergus Henderson).

Chef's top tip: Jazz it up with a couple more rounds of toast and a mug of steaming hot tea.

I never miss a chance to get a full english breakfast, but proper bacon and proper suasage are expensive here in the states. they have their own cut of bacon and style of sausage that I enjoy but falls short of what you are used to.

Thanks everyone for the replies, especially the bbc bit. had no idea they had a food website.

How can you discuss English menus without cod and chips and Roast beef, roast spuds, carrots, peas and gravy?

Where's the Yorkshire Pudding you savage?

[bobo the clown]

I think the Brit's underestimate what a good roast actually achieves. Because it is pretty simple we presume it not to be worth referring to.

Roast Rib of beef is as good as anything can be.


Slow roasted pork, which almost shreds as you cut it !!!

Belly pork, cooked at a v low oven temperature for hours ... amazing


Then out use of shellfish is good also, though many people are not 'into shellfish', it is superb, proerly dealt with. Simple too, for the most part.
