Cookbook project: British Isles
Mar. 9th, 2010 10:47 pmThis is the last of the third fifth of my cookbooks, but I'm not having a new book right now because my lovely husband bought me two new books while he was in America.
I also only made one course, because I knew I didn't want to eat a two course meal - I'll make the other at another time, maybe tomorrow for cake and games.
Anyway, the book is hte Dairy Cookbook, it's a milk marketing board cookbook. We had Lancashire foot with red cabbage and apple salad and endive, orange and walnut salad.
The salads were cactually perfectly complemented - the red cabbage was slightly sour and the endives slight sweet, thanks to their resppective dressings (yoghurt for the cabbage and sour cream/orange juice) for the endives. The cabbage salad was also notable in the the cabbage was blanched, and then everything else added while the cabbage is still warm, meaning it all mixed nicely.
'Lancashire foot' is a sort of cheese pastry - just puff pastry with a filling of lancashire cheese, mushrooms and fried onions, then baked, I really liked this, but it would be nice with extra veg (mushrooms and peppers maybe).
At some point I'll make 'Old English egg-nog pie' described as 'much more sophisticated than any egg-nog you'd dream of having for breakfast... strange dreams presumably broughgt about by too much cheese at bedtime.
