Traditional British Bread and Butter Pudding

This is my mums recipe which she has been cookin since the early 1950s, I’ve asked her where she got it from but its been that long she can’t remember; I had cravings for this whilst recently pregnant and religiously cooked one on a Sunday which I ate all to myself as DH was on a diet and my daughter decided she didn’t like it without trying it (typical 5 yr old!) I usually don’t measure the sugar or sultanas which are scattered over the bread and just guess it, it all depends on how sweet your tooth is. Prep time includes standing time.

Yummy Parkin – British Gingerbread / Cake

I was born & raised in “Parkin Country” & I can’t get enough of the stuff! I love it when it’s really rich & sticky – fabulous with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. This is one version of Parkin, recipe from Asda.

Eton Mess (Classic British Summer Dessert)

Super easy to make, Eton Mess is an all-time classic British dessert. The dish was traditionally served at Eton College but how it came to have the name is not clear. One story is a Labrador dog sat on a picnic basket in the back of a car and squashed a strawberry and meringue dessert. The dessert is quick and easy to make and makes great use of ripe strawberries at the height of summer when they are plentiful. Frozen or canned strawberries don’t work. This recipe is from Elaine Lemm, a well known food and drink writer in the UK. Enjoy!
