The Month Ahead
With the Jubilee celebrations coming up soon, time to start thinking about your street parties. We have some great recipes for you to experiment with and some lovely vintage style Street Party pottery which will look great on your celebration table.
A Recipe for Success
Perfect Rice
Cooking lovely fluffy rice is really easy when you know how! One of the most popular questions ask during my cooking demonstrations up and down the country is how to make perfect rice, and really it is so easy
Victoria Sponge
Thanks to Queen Victoria, after whom this cake was named, as she was partial to a bit of cake with her afternoon tea!
And thanks to my mum for this cake recipe - she never weighs a thing and yet her cakes come out of the oven perfectly.
Jubilee Style Fish and Chips
Turn traditional fish and chips in a street party main course but serve in newspaper parcels! This will evoke memories of times gone by in many of your guests - I always thought the newspaper print added to the flavour, didn't you?!
Royal MIni Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pud
The Queen is quite partial to the traditional British favourite, Sunday roast, so here is my take on a favourite that can be shared by everyone at your parties in miniature form and perfect finger food!
Eton Mess
Eton Mess is a quintessentially English dessert, and is traditionally served at Eton College's annual cricket game against the students of Winchester College. The dish has been known by this name since the 19th century so you are eating a little bit of history here!
Coronation Chicken
First prepared for Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953 by Rosemary Hume, this delicious dish has become a firm favourite with the British public over the last 60 years.
Queen of Puddings
A traditional British dessert which has changed only a little over the last 300 years since it was first invented possibly for the monarch at the time!
Celebrate with Her Majesty!
It's a once in a lifetime experience to see a monarch on the throne for 60 years so I am sure many of you will be holding Jubilee parties, both at home and in your own streets and there is no time like the present to start preparing, particularly if you are having a large group of people round. This year I am working at the Dartington Food Fest over the Jubilee weekend and will be cooking all things connected to Royals.
Coronation Chicken (the clue is in the title!) is a firm favourite and can be served in many different ways, either hot or cold and loved by all. Or why not try our right Royal MIni Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pud or Jubilee Style Fish and Chips wrapped in newspaper? For a sweet course, bake traditional cakes such as Victoria Sponge, filled with lots of fresh cream and jam or rustle up Eton Mess, all those lovely meringues and strawberries, a quintessentially British dessert. Or if you are feeling adventurous, sample our Queen of Puddings, served with lashings of fresh cream or Creme Anglais.
Bring out the marching band and make your Jubilee celebrations a day to remember!
Celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with this lovely range, evoking nostalgic memories of days gone by with its patriotic colours and vintage look, ideal for your street parties or just as a keepsake!
Tea party sets, cake stands, mugs, to name but a few of the lovely things available to make your party table look authentic and tradtional. Check out our Street Party range in our cookshop
