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 Make Fish & Chips In A Beer Batter
You wouldn't think there was very much to making fish & chips but in forty years of traveling North America I've discovered very few examples of Authentic English Fish & Chips.
The choice of fish, the preparation of the chips, the oil they're cooked in and most importantly the batter are factors that all contribute to the final taste. If you've had real English fish & chips and want to recapture that experience you can either fly to London or pick up this little booklet.
In this compact, but packed with information, booklet you'll find:

The first book of a ten-book Authentic English Recipes series.

What Does Authentic Mean?
The signs proclaim “Authentic English Fish and Chips” in two foot high flashing neon lights but what they serve is fish fingers with shoestring fries. Trust me, that’s not authentic. I even had fish and chips in Phoenix, Arizona where the batter was made from corn meal.
You have a better chance of finding an honest politician in Washington, DC than finding authentic fish and chips in America.
What does that mean anyway? What is authentic English fish and chips?
Even in England the fish and chips range from mediocre to outstanding. At least you will never get a corn meal batter - Ugh!
When I was growing up in England we had access to at least three fish and chip shops (local chippies) within easy walking distance of our house.
Our favorite shop was next door to the Flying Eagle Pub. It’s gone now and the Flying Eagle has become an Indian restaurant. But I still fondly remember picking up six-pennyworth of chips as I walked home from school.
Chips
If you want authentic, you need to start with the chips. They should be hand cut, then soaked in salted water for an hour or so to get the starch out. They must not be the awful shoestring fries that are cold before you even have a chance to eat them. Proper chips, for your authentic fish and chip dinner, are thick, crisp and golden brown.
