About this deal

A brief history of this meal begins the chapter and there are asides on the baking of bread in the Grantham household. Curries have become such an integral part of the contemporary British culinary landscape that “having a curry” from a local takeaway has become a regular treat for many households. Auguste Escoffier, one of the most important figures in French cuisine, was working in London at the Carlton Hotel, having published his immensely influential Le Guide Culinaire in 1903. It's a really fun mix of food/cookery info from Edwardian England, a little trivia from the show, and very interesting and achievable recipes.

Not many cookbooks do (which infuriates the heck out of me), so props to Annie Gray for sharing the original recipes, replicated recipes from the show, and the information and images to go with it.

This book is a must-read for fans of the show, historical cooking enthusiasts and even fans of the Great British Baking Show.

The official cookbook based on the hit TV series seen on Netflix and around the world, discover mouthwatering recipes that will transport you into the genteel world of Downton Abbey.The Official Downton Abbey Cookbook - Gift Set presents over 100 recipes that showcase the cookery and customs of the Crawley household—from upstairs dinner party centerpieces to downstairs puddings and pies—and bring an authentic slice of Downton Abbey to modern kitchens by including a giftable apron that Downton fans will love. This portion could have been included in the previous chapter, yet there are distinctions in these recipes and they should be noted. This time last year, Frank and I were putting the finishing touches on a month long trip to Austria and Greece. Lots of the recipes are for traditional English cakes, such as Battenberg, Crumpets or Chelsea Buns that you would find in many another book, but it's good to have it all together in one for those who wish to serve a traditional English Afternoon tea to their friends and family. Even if you did not have the skills to cook some of the more exotic meals you believe they ate in the Downton period, this book clearly lays the ingredients out boldly and clearly, with nowhere near as many items in each recipe that I thought it might include, which makes it so much easier to follow.

In the chapter titled "Breakfast" we are presented with some traditional dishes such as "Kedgeree" (a dish of fish, rice and eggs), English Muffins(sounds hard to make, but not so much after reading this. The book is beautiful with pictures from the show and many of the dishes that it includes recipes for.Deviled Biscuits"(a perfect savory brunch offering), and "Pikelets" (a sort of free form crumpet that could become part of your daily home repertoire).
