"Call it what you will, traditional British cheese on toast is a national institution, an iconic snack enjoyed by all, regardless of class or background! What can be simpler and tastier, hunks of homemade or crusty farmhouse style bread topped with mature Cheddar cheese, a smidge of mustard and Worcestershire sauce for those who desire an extra kick!..."

Ingredients: crusty bread, English mustard...

"An inexpensive but savoury dish. It may have originally been a French dish, as there are old French culinary references to "lapin gallois". When I was a child, our family had this as a bedtime snack a couple of times a week. Never tired of it."

Ingredients: pepper, Dijon mustard...

"Stilton is a very lovely English blue-veined cheese and, in my opinion, it's worth hunting for it to make this recipe. However, bleu cheese or almost any other blue-veined cheese may be used as a substitute. I would caution against using Gorgonzola cheese because its very strong flavour may be overpowering."

Ingredients: chives, Stilton cheese...

"After finding an old scone recipe in the crevices of my kitchen, I experimented a little and it turned into a low fat--but still delicious!--treat, great for breakfast, snacks, or afternoon tea.

These are best warm, split in half and spread with jam, preserves, butter, and/or clotted cream. Also great with a hot cup of tea. =)"

Ingredients: dried fruit, granulated sugar...

"A fine British tradition - and a meal to set you up for the day; there is a saying in the UK that goes like this: "breakfast like a King, lunch like a Queen and have supper like a pauper"! So, what does a typical full English breakfast consist of? One recipe in an Edwardian Cookbook listed a plethora of ingredients that would have graced..."

Ingredients: baked beans, sausages, eggs...

"The original British recipe from a 'Housekeeper's Guide' of 1845 recommends 'catsup' instead of Worcestershire sauce. It is still possible to buy mushroom ketchup which is rather similar to Worcestershire sauce and this can be delicious with the shallot butter on any grilled steak."

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, steaks...

"Homemade Melba toast has the edge on the bought packaged variety. It is nicest served while still a little warm, in a basket or on a napkin-lined plate. If it is made a short time ahead, store it in an airtight container, then refresh it for a short time in the oven."

Ingredients: white bread...

"Serve these chops with a crisp green salad, your favourite dressing and baked potatoes."

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, eggs...

"Mouthwatering!"

Ingredients: double cream, mixed herbs...

"These are succulent and meaty, well-flavoured with herbs and lemon. They are shaped by hands before cooking and do not have skins. They remind me of the sausage my mother bought from the local butcher when I was a kid. These keep very well in the fridge or freezer and can be reheated quickly."

Ingredients: eggs, fresh breadcrumbs...

"NOT your ordinary grilled steaks!"

Ingredients: heavy whipping cream, lemon juice...

"Devilling is the process of applying a highly flavoured paste, or mixture of dry condiments, to legs of poultry, game, fish roes etc., and then grilling them or coating them with breadcrumbs and frying them. Various mixtures of condiments are used but they usually include some very hot ingredients and something piquant; mustard is often used."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, French mustard...

"Easy comfort food for one, simple, quick, cheap, vegan and healthy. Very versatile, can be adapted to taste. I came up with it when I felt a bit down at uni and wanted something comforting but healthy, and came up with this. Now I do it all the time, it's great as a snack, dessert or even for breakfast. I've even made it for my teenage..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, fruit, ginger...

"You won't find these at your favourite local seafood joint."

Ingredients: eggs, fresh basil...
