Great Britain

A warm and hearty baked savory tart is wonderful served with a bright salad of mixed greens and herbs.

This plum crumble is easy and a great use of any stone fruit including plums, nectarines, or peaches.

Toad in the Hole is a popular dish usually made with sausage and Yorkshire pudding baked together, this is a vegetarian version with carrot and onion replacing the sausage. The addition of a little chili and paprika adds a nice kick and makes for a pretty, and delicious, vegetarian main.

Fluffy, cakey, chocolately, a Ted favorite.

Here are 4 variations of the Pimm’s Cup, each has its own merits: super easy, more herbal and complex, simple and fruity, and the batch version! It’s like a choose your own adventure.

I wouldn’t survive a day on the Great British Baking Show, but I still love watching all the creations and drooling over Victorian Sponge Cakes, Bakewell Tarts, or Sticky Toffee Puddings. This recipe is simple and requires no competitive baking skills.

Easily a meal on its own, this garden salad is delicious and simple to make. Even better, serve it with a hot slice of Welsh Rarebit.

For this race at Silverstone, we made some proper British food.: Welsh Rarebit with Roasted Tomatoes and an English Garden Salad.

This is my Mom’s tomato chutney. It is sweet, tangy, and delicious. It goes great with curries and is tasty all on its own sopped up with naan.

Brit’s love their Chicken Tikka Masala, but I still find it is best ordered in. Until I find the perfect recipe here are some excellent side dishes to make at home: Tarka Dal, a quick Saag Bhaji (Spinach Curry), fluffy naan and my Mom’s Tomato Chutney.

The Ploughman’s Lunch, from what I have seen, can be as simple or complicated as you want it to be. A few slices of cheese, bread, and something pickled seem to be the only necessary criteria.

Tea cake, perfect for afternoon tea, breakfast, or dessert. Bright and citrusy. Super delicious.

Versatile scones, simple to put together, and brilliant with a cup of coffee.

Afternoon tea is a great excuse to eat tiny sandwiches and all the sweet things to your hearts content.

Banoffee pie is the splendid combination of toffee, banana, and a mile high layer of freshly whipped cream. 

British food gets a bad rap. But honestly I love everything I've made for British races, and I loved everything I ate when I was in London 10 years ago. I love comfort food and that is exactly what I made for this year.
