These tea sandwiches are extremely flavorful with a little kick to them! I like them so much that I make a batch and just make regular sandwiches for lunch. The spread can keep for several days in the fridge. This recipe came from my Saveur Magazine.
Want a cheesecake that is different that does not taste anything like modern cheesecakes? Then try this. It comes from a 17th Century cookbook. The rosewater completely changes the taste.
Taste a little like a deli rotisserie chicken
Magically turn ordinary white bread into extraordinary tea crisps. Scrumptious.
I went online and bought the Rotisserie pictured, it is much bigger than what I need but I could not pass it up. I made 32 hens! These are truly the best IF you have a ROTISSERIE that works well and maintains the exact temp when cooking. You can use this recipe also for whole chicken,goose,duck,turkey or even boneless pork loin.
Soothing Lavender is a herb that has calming effects that helps relieve stress, fatigue, headache and insomnia. Drink a cup of Lavender tea before bed is known to promote restful sleep.
This is an ultra rich version on the classic English dessert. Make certain to use day-old bread for this. I used dark raisins and soaked them in a bit of cognac for this recipe, which really kicked the taste way! Although the recipe does not say to add in cinnamon, I sprinkled some on top of the bread layers, but this is only optional.
I have never made this, but have eaten it lots ... it's from a favourite local restaurant and when the newspaper published the recipe, I immediately clipped it. Yum.
A savory scone sure to please.
When I lived in England, I found their casseroles were basically different from ours. We put the oddest things together and this casserole is a perfect example. Another would be corned beef hash with an egg on top. Well, when I made both of these for my then future inlaws, they thought they were delicious. Understand, it never changed the way they cooked, thank goodness, because I love the English food too.
On a quest to find the recipe I used to make years ago and the DH asked to make this one from Super Food Ideas July 2008, even though I knew it wasn't IT but he really enjoyed it and thought it was great, so I am posting but will continue my quest to find IT.
This is moist and delicious, with more fiber and less fat than most recipes. It comes from The Healthy Oven Baking Book by Sarah Phillips, which I recommend VERY highly. Phillips has developed new mixing techniques that allow you to make light, moist baked goods without a lot of fat.
I love making these rolls every Lent. Don't be put off by the preparation time-it takes 90 minutes for the dough to raise! The cranberries make a delicious difference! Try them-I guarantee you'll love them!
My younger son's favorite herb is rosemary, so he is always keeping an eye out for recipes that use it. This one came from Taste of the South magazine - it couldn't be any simpler, and it's delicious!
Cheddar Cheese Dip
Traditionally, Yorkshire puddings were served as a starter because they are cheap to make. Often families wouldn't have a lot of meat to go round so they filled up on Yorkshire pudding first! In my family, we still serve them as a starter and they are quite large. They are smothered in gravy and are yummy! Again the traditional way to cook them is by using animal fat, I have used vegetable oil and it still works (although my dad thought they were not as good). My mum makes these often and doesn't bother to measure the ingredients, so I don't think they need to be exact. This recipe comes from a very old copy of the Be-ro flour baking book (1950's) that belonged to my Grandmother
This simple pudding is easy even if you've never made one before. If you don't have a pudding mold, you can steam it in a metal bowl covered with foil. It has a rich gingerbread flavor and is a very dense dessert. I served it with roast beef and Uncle Bill's Yorkshire pudding and had a lovely Midwestern version of a traditional English Christmas meal.
Smooth, rich and creamy, perfect for cold winter days.
My wassail recipe has been a holiday tradition in our family for many years. Not only does it make the house smell wonderful, it is a tasty and warming beverage for those chilly days. The recipe was given to me by a co-worker many years ago.
