About Authentic English Recipes It's great to try new recipes for the first time. To experience new flavors and food combinations you may never have thought of. But for most of our day to day cooking we never open a cookbook or precisely measure ingredients. We go by what feels right and the experience of cooking the same meal many times before. The How To Make Authentic English Recipes series is more about the method and the ingredients than it is about precise measuring. This is the way our Grandmothers and Mothers cooked. These are recipes my Grandmother passed down to my Mother and then to me. I hope you enjoy this series of cookbooks and will soon be using these homemade recipes and cooking like a true Brit. About How To Make Sherry Trifle – A Traditional English Dessert Considered by many people to be the premier British dessert experience, English Trifle is nevertheless simple to make. Unfortunately what appears on many North American menus bears little resemblance to real English Trifle. Trifle is a type of dessert rather than a precise set of ingredients and there can be quite a bit of flexibility on the choice of base and fruit. You'll often find such ingredients as Birds custard, maraschino cherries, fruit cocktail, raspberries, strawberries (frozen or not), with lots of heaving whipping cream for the topping and let's not forget the ladyfingers cookies! All of this frequently display in special trifle bowls or dishes. However, many North American trifle recipes call for Jello® and vanilla pudding – these are not ingredients you will find in an authentic English trifle. This booklet is a step by step guide to creating my family's version of this incredible dessert that will delight your guests and have them praising your culinary skills to all your friends.
