Sticky Toffee Pudding
Sticky toffee pudding, also known as sticky date pudding in Australia and New Zealand, is a British dessert consisting of a moist sponge cake, made with finely chopped dates (optional), covered in a toffee sauce and often served with a vanilla custard or vanilla ice-cream. It is considered a British classic by various culinary experts. Composition A sticky toffee pudding has two essential components. The first is a moist sponge cake, containing finely chopped dates. The sponge is usually light and fluffy, closer to a muffin consistency rather than a heavier traditional British sponge, and is often lightly flavoured with nuts or spices such as cloves. The date component is, however, optional. The second key element is the toffee sauce, usually made from double cream and then different dark sugars, depending on recipe. A sticky toffee pudding is most commonly served with custard or vanilla ice cream, the vanilla flavour of these complimenting the richer flavours of the pudding. I ...

English Cuisine
English cuisine encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with England. It has distinctive attributes of its own, but also shares much with wider British cuisine, partly through the importation of ingredients and ideas from the Americas, China, and India during the time of the British Empire and as a result of post-war immigration. Some traditional meals, such as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies, boiled vegetables and broths, and freshwater and saltwater fish have ancient origins. The 14th-century English cookbook, the ''Forme of Cury'', contains recipes for these, and dates from the royal court of Richard II. English cooking has been influenced by foreign ingredients and cooking styles since the Middle Ages. Curry was introduced from the Indian subcontinent and adapted to English tastes from the eighteenth century with Hannah Glasse's recipe for chicken "currey". French cuisine influenced English recipes throughout ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Newburgh, Aberdeenshire
Newburgh is a coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village dates to 1261 AD, when Lord Sinclair wanted to establish a chapel in the area. Originally built as a school, somewhat later the chapel of Holy Rood was established. Geography Newburgh is on the Ythan Estuary and near the Sands of Forvie.

In the summer terns can be observed feeding in their characteristic diving patterns approximately inland from the estuary. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
