Some friends of ours are moving to the UK for 2 years and we are throwing a going away party. I would like to make and serve some English pastries/desserts/cookies and was wondering if anyone has any recipes for this. I know nothing about English food, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I love my Linda McCartney cook books! You can also check out the BBC's food tv website - I use it lots! It has both vegetarian and vegan information & you can select a veggie option when you do recipe searches. They have lots of Indian & spicey recipes! http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Definitely the Linda McCartney recipe books. You can now find them at remainder tables. I bought them in the UK, while visiting, and can't figure out the directions, so I had to buy them all again when they came out here. Very English and very yummy!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Oh, you'd think growing up eating very traditional English food I'd be brimming with ideas. Well, a few are coming to me. Also, recently I went to the Quorn website and decided to check out the British site, since that's where the product is from. Here is a link to their recipe search page: http://www.quorn.co.uk/cook/search.php So, some traditional English party foods (all translated to vegetarian, of course!) Sausage Rolls - using Gimme Lean make enough pastry as if you're making two pie crusts divide the pastry in four and refridgerate the other pieces roll out one of the pieces to an oblong rectangle about 4 " wide x 10 " long Cut the Gimme Lean into four equal parts. Roll out one part into a thin rope, about 9 " long. Lay this rope onto one side of the pastry. Bring the other side up and over the soysage and crimp edges with a fork. You can brush the pastry with water or egg white if desired. Cut into bite sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining pieces of pastry and soysage. Bake at 425 until golden brown. Good hot or cold! Victorian Cake make a basic yellow cake in two cake pans when cool, turn one cake upside down onto a large serving plate spread with your favorite preserve, traditionally raspberry, then top with fresh whipped cream. Place the other cake on top carefully so not to mush out the cream. Dust with powdered sugar, cover and refridgerate to keep cool and fresh. Crudite plate: carrot sticks celery sticks pickled onions cubed cheese Branston Pickle (a sweet/tangy brown pickle) Piccalilly (a spicy mustard pickle) water crackers or buttered bread This is all the type of food my mom would prepare for the holidays. I always looked forward to the food! Also, just FYI, many of the foods imported from England are vegan/vegetarian due to mad cow, such as MinceMeat which traditionally has beef suet in it. If it's imported from England it will be vegetarian and states it on the label. Looks like some other people gave you some good links to check out, too. Enjoy!
