British Apple Strudel
Delicious apple with spiced fruit mince Its real comfort food served either hot or cold, with cream or ice cream, I made this in a hurry when I had unexpected visitors and it really was a hit
British Toad in the Hole (Sausages in Batter) With Sherry Onion
Pure traditional British comfort food, that isn’t that much hassle to make. Can serve 4 people if served with mash potato, carrots and peas but sometimes I prefer to do away with the mash and just serve this for 2! Don’t forget the sherry onion gravy which you’ll probably wanna drink all on its own!
The British Bulldog! Traditional Layered Beef Steak Suet Pudding
A traditional British steamed savoury pudding – fluffy dumping style suet pastry layered with tender and succulent braised beef steak – pure comfort food. Once you have prepared this, just let it steam quietly away in the background, whilst you get on with other things. Unmould this pudding at the table and serve it immediately with extra gravy, steamed seasonal greens and mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes. There is an urban myth in the UK, that men ask woman who can cook this delicious savoury pudding to marry them……..be warned…….be careful! Preparation time includes the cooking of the beef steak before the pudding is made and steamed. (This recipe comes from my family’s recipe collection – it was cooked regularly by my grandmother and my mum; the original recipe is written in pencil on a scrap of paper………it was like finding real treasure!)

A Pint of Prawns and Guinness Chaser – British Pub Grub!
Classic and traditional British Pub Grub! Cooked prawns (shrimps) served in a pint mug with a tangy garlic mayonnaise and a pint of Guinness of course – my idea of heaven! British pub grub is justly famous and this simple dish is also great when served at home. Serve these prawns for family gatherings, or St Patrick’s Day, St George’s Day, St David’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, Australia Day, football, superbowl, darts matches or ANY time you fancy simple, robust food with a pint of ale! I have suggested Guinness but you can serve these prawns with any real ale or your favourite brew. I have spiced the mayonnaise up a tad – if you are not a lover of spicy food, serve these prawns with classic mayonnaise.
