Notes about Recipes in this book

• Omelette Arnold Bennett

  • lkgrover on December 23, 2019

    Excellent creamy egg dish. I substituted smoked salmon for smoked haddock.

• Chicken tikka masala

  • lkgrover on March 07, 2020

    Delicious British-Indian chicken dinner. I reduced the cayenne pepper to 1/8 tsp and the chile powder to 1/2 tsp, which resulted in my preferred heat level.

• Steamed chicken with prunes and lemon sauce (Hindle wakes)

  • lkgrover on October 31, 2021

    I made this using a normal 3 1/2 pound chicken. It was fully cooked in 1 hour, according to my meat thermometer. Used 8 oz. prunes and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. The chicken was moist with a slight lemon flavor. The prune stuffing is surprisingly good. And I enjoyed the author's story of the recipe's history.

• Pork chops with cinnamon and apples

  • lkgrover on March 10, 2018

    A delicious pork chop recipe; the apple and cinnamon make it great comfort food for cold weather.

• Creamed mushrooms on toast

  • nutrica6 on August 23, 2023

    used a mix of oyster and button mushrooms. so good on sourdough toast! served with baked beans and sausage for a riff on English breakfast. the lemon and sherry are key ingredients, and give it a more complex flavor

• Eat the Love

  ...this book would be an awesome gift for those Anglophiles that want to learn more about the history and food culture of England.
