British Recipes
To the uninformed, a collection of British recipes might seem like a joke, but that would just be the hangover of post-World War II rationing. Real British food has a style, flavor and heft that makes it particularly good in cool weather.
What follows are a selection of recipes using fish, seafood, wild game, edible wild plants and mushrooms from all over the British Isles: England, Scotland and Wales. I also include the few Irish recipes I have here, even though Ireland is not part of Britain.
Some of my favorite recipes are for classics like venison pasties, or a venison and kidney pie. I do have an old school British bangers recipe, as well as one for Cumberland sauce, which is fantastic with venison or game birds.
On the lighter side, you'll find an English parsley sauce, elderflower cordial and Scottish fried herring, which are rolled in ground oats.
