These cookies from Ravneet Gill make great gifts and will keep for up to a week wrapped or in an airtight container.The cookie dough balls freeze really well, too – keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Simply bake from frozen and add an extra one to two minutes to the baking time
This good old English pudding is from ” Rhodes Around Britain” by Gary Rhodes. He credits it to Francis Coulson of the Sharrow Bay Hotel in Ullswater and says it is the best version.
A favourite way of cooking ham from the deep South in the States- it tastes much better than it sounds. Its from ” Nigella Bites ” by Nigella Lawson though she has an earlier version in ” How to Eat”. The stock left over from cooking the ham makes a good base for a black bean soup . Mild -cure gammon should not need soaking, but if you have a salty piece put it into a pan covered with cold water, bring to a boil then drain in a colander.
A traditional British recipe from Jenny Linford’s ” The London Cookbook”. Victoria Plums, which come into season in late summer, are particularly delicious. Serve with cream or custard.
Here’s another favourite crumble from ” Sophie Grigson’s Country Kitchen”. You can use forced rhubarb or garden rhubarb depending on the time of year. Serve with cream, custard or ice cream.
This is from “Sophie Grigson’s Country Kitchen” and is one of the best crumble combinations there are in my opinion. Serve with plenty of custard or cream.
At a rather late stage in life i realised that one needs at least one good recipe for Brownies to hand and probably more. This is the recipe i would use for more special occasions and is from Delia Smith’s ” How to Cook: Book Two”. You can of course leave out the Armagnac for everyday eating.
