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!

British Baked Beans

These are really good homemade baked beans (UK style, similar to Heinz baked beans here, not like Boston Baked Beans). It’s a recipe which I got from Waitrose www.waitrose.com/recipes I’m putting it up here for safe keeping, this is now a firm family favourite. Please note that preparation and cooking times do not include the preparation of the beans.
