She thinks Victorian food is vastly underrated, though can also see why they needed decent corsetry, but has to admit that the Georgians did it better, if only because of the parmesan ice cream and all that brandy.Holidays get special attention in the chapter titled "Festive Food" We have some stellar takes on traditional favorites that are included with the recipes for "Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts", "Lemon Mincemeat", "Christmas Pudding", "Yule Log" (A cake), "Hot Cross Buns","Simnel Cake" and"Plum Cake" These are classic British recipes for seasonal dishes and they are handled in a way that any modern cook can easily make them. But very few pictures of the actual food made with the recipes, which makes the book less appealing as an actual cookbook. This delightful, diverse collection of recipes typical of 1910s and 1920s English estates is a must-have for any Downton Abbey fan, whether you plan on attempting any of the dishes or not (I just might try a couple).

The servant class get their own representation in "Downstairs Dinner" with such homely fare as "Toad in the Hole"(A favorite of mine) "Lamb Stew with Semolina","Beef Stew with Dumplings","Steak and Kidney Pudding"(steamed in the traditional Pudding basin),"Cauliflower Cheese","Steamed Treacle Pudding"(much nicer than it sounds and worth making),"Treacle Tart"(a favorite of mine), "Rice Pudding","Spotted Dick"(Which is better described here than you might think),"Summer Pudding"(a berry dessert) and "Jam and Custard Tart". She is the author of a culinary biography of Queen Victoria: The Greedy Queen, Eating with Victoria (2016), as well as Victory in the Kitchen: The Story of Churchill’s Cook (2020). If I were to change one thing, it would be to have photos of all the finished products along side of the recipes.Cookbooks for the Creatively Daring Looking for the perfect gift for the culinary enthusiast on your Christmas list this year? Each of the sections that discuss the series "Downton Abbey" in various ways are informative and educational, but are never "over-done" There are multiple discussions of the Grantham Family as well as the servants, but there is also a greater discussion of British Society and history as well. Like the Kedgeree above, this Prawn Curry recipe is easy to prepare and it makes use of ingredients that could be found in my cupboard or easy to obtain from the local supermarket – curry powder, coconut milk, spinach, onion, prawns, etc.
