British Recipes
These are my takes on the recipes or flavours that I grew up eating in the UK in the late 70’s. Some have been left gloriously retro and others have been given a modern twist. Either way, these recipes have a special place in my foodie heart because they feel like home!
Masala baked beans on toast is a fun twist on a much loved British dish, it features Indian spices & flavours, with a good kick of chilli.
Pan-fried calves liver with crispy sage leaves, and a marsala wine, onion & bacon “gravy” makes for a delicious and surprisingly quick meal.
Sausage and baked bean casserole, the “full English” breakfast experience without all of the washing up, everything cooks in one pan.
Devilled chicken thighs in a spiced gravy inspired by an old Mrs Beeton recipe that uses Worcestershire Sauce, brandy and English mustard.
Chicken in a creamy cider sauce, a perfectly cooked tender and juicy breast in a sauce flavoured by garlic, thyme and wholegrain mustard.
King prawn Balti and curry of British Indian origin that hails from my home town of Birmingham and features jumbo shrimp in a spicy gravy.
My perfect cheese and onion sandwich combines cheddar with a little mayonnaise & Branston pickle and 3 types of onion, spring, pickled & red!
Scotch broth is an old-school British/Scottish recipe with centuries of history, my version features lamb cooked with pearl barley & veggies.
Minced beef hotpot, a recipe featuring a mince stew layered up with sliced onions and scalloped potatoes to create the perfect winter warmer.
