About Authentic English Recipes
It's great to try new recipes for the first time. To experience new flavors and food combinations you may never have thought of. But for most of our day to day cooking we never open a cookbook or precisely measure ingredients. We go by what feels right and the experience of cooking the same meal many times before.
The How To Make Authentic English Recipes series is more about the method and the ingredients than it is about precise measuring. This is the way our Grandmothers and Mothers cooked. These are recipes my Grandmother passed down to my Mother and then to me.
I hope you enjoy this series of cookbooks and will soon be using these homemade recipes and cooking like a true Brit.
About How To Bake British Cakes, Crumpets, Buns & Biscuits
There is a rich tradition of English baking that includes sweet to savory baked goods and everything in between.
In this book of the Authentic English Recipes series you'll find the following recipes:
Believe it or not, most of these tasty recipes are easier to make than you might think. I have modified all the recipes slightly so that they use US measurements and ingredients. I have also included metric conversions and gas marks for European readers.
So grab this book now and be baking like a real Brit in no time.
This is book 9 of the 10-book Authentic English Recipes Series.
This book has 25 reviews with an overall 4.2 rating.
It has been very popular since its launch and sells consistently each month.
It vies with book 8 of the series (How to Make Cornish Pasties) each month to see which one can sell more.
Most of the books in this series are more about the method and ingredients of the recipes rather than exact quantities. This one is a little different as it is all about baking and baking just won’t work unless you get the chemistry right.
These are my mother’s recipes, modified for the North American measuring system. I have also changed any reference to self-raising flour because it is not widely available here.
I also want to thank my wife Vicky for developing the bread machine versions which will help to make these classic British favorites easier to make and therefore more available to busy cooks.
Bakewell Tarts
Bakewell tarts were one of my favorite treats growing up. The hard icing and the taste of the almond with the raspberry jam are sure to make these as popular in your family as they are in mine.
