A lot of times it also contained chalk to make it whiter

Angelalala - Then you probably need to see "Life Below Stairs" if you haven't already! It's a very truthful, eye-opening experience, done by an English researcher who was digging deep into it because she has relatives from a couple of generations back who worked "in service" as they said. Not in THE service, but in service to richer people than themselves who employed others to serve them in various ways. It's truly amazing how the class system held most of the population to tiny niches for themselves, rich and poor alike, for their entire lives. And then how much everything changed drastically with and after WWI. Check it out by that title if you haven't yet. I think it comes in 3 episodes.

You’ll find both orange blossom and rose water at any shop specializing in Indian and Pakistani, or North African (Moroccan/Tunisian) or Middle Eastern food supplies. Look online for one near you, it’s not expensive and gives food marvelous nose! Start with a small amount and blend well, adjust while tasting to avoid too much ”perfumed” effect. A little goes a long way.

Given what I’ve learned about historical grains and agriculture, I’d love to learn about what varieties were used in the Victorian kitchen. Heritage grains seem like an engrossing subject that would unlock all sorts of potential flavors and textures. I would imagine that certain grains and producers were preferred for certain baked goods. Given the estate, they may have reserved some plots for specific varieties to used in particular festive dishes.

I love her voice, it makes me so calm and sleepy, makes me want to listen to her for an hour...

[@ashleyfinnerty2337]

Please continue with these videos!

[@CasperClawell]

These are great in the afternoon with the tea, thanks for the recipe!

[@Pitlizard]

I just love these videos! Will there be more anytime soon? I'd love to see anything, at this point! But I'm particularly fond of her baking videos.

[@EnglishHeritage]

Thank you Stephanie! We will hopefully have some more cookery videos coming soon.

"As we are making Victoria Sandwiches, the sponge cake needs--" *holds wall* Wait, what? *mutters* First 'biscuits,' now 'sandwiches...' *goes into culture shock*

[@nicolero8130]

Love those. So easy to make. No raising agent required, just moderate temperature of 160 and a KZbin times mixer. The orange flower essence and almonds make a perfect union. The red fruit jam should taste a little sour. Thank you, English Heritage!

[@neda7127]

I 'm from Iran My language is persian I love your KZbin channel

[@urboyaaron]

Not quite sure how I ended up here but you've got yourself a new subscriber! can't wait to start binge watching this cooking series!

[@EnglishHeritage]

That's great to hear! We hope you enjoy watching them.

It would be really nice to see a recipe for Osborne pudding or Battenberg cake someday :)

[@Marialla.]

I have no idea what those are, but I'm interested!

[@maggieleroy3184]

elsa1942 there are many Battenberg cake recipes on you tube!

[@malaksalemm]

Props to Kathy, she does the role so well!

[@darksession]

omg, the accent, the dressing style, the dishes, the decoration, her presence, so traditionally british

[@sarina76667]

How fun!!! Can't wait to try this and find more recipes! My roommate and I love trying these sorts of recipes out!!

[@EnglishHeritage]

Lovely! Please let us know if you try any of these recipes.

[@sarina76667]

No problem! Would love to see some instructions on how to make bigger dishes like stews, roast meats, vegetables and other main entrees as well! We've found modern recipes don't have the same taste, aren't as filling and aren't nearly as easy to portion to freeze as the original older recipes. We tend to prefer the older recipes and then experiment with them ourselves. And it's nice to learn the low tech techniques because it saves us money to forego electricity. Modern tools are handy but difficult to clean. And let's face nothing beats real bread kneaded by hand. The more energy you put into something the more love goes into it.

[@sharid76]

sarina76667 -You're very right about the real kneaded breads beating out all competition! I used to make the most awesome honey whole wheat bread 🍞 back in the later 70's as a new bride (1976 - and I was not one of those dingy, ditsy, "bride 👰 who couldn't boil water to save her!" types, either! I was putting full meals on the table for 6 people before I became a Sophomore in high school! And NO microwave, either. You could get them, but they cost 💰💵 dearly!!) for all the in-law's family holiday gatherings, and actually bought REAL "butter-butter" (as we used to call it) to serve with it, instead of the margarines everybody was using to save money! It became a holiday tradition for a long time, until our children got older, college was looming, family members moved around and large gatherings just weren't as possible to put together, especially when the family patriarch and matriarch started spending their late falls to mid-springs at a place they had built for themselves in Florida. That generally cut out 🎃, T-Day 🦃, Christmas 🎅👼🎄🎁⛄, New Years 🎉🎈🌨, Easter🐰 🐇 🐣 and whatever else came with. So, the bread is basically a fond memory now. Pity. I used to work all my frustrations out into kneading that bread - and it had the smoothest, densest, "no holes" construction you ever DID see! 😎 I can't anymore, since I injured my right shoulder in a work accident, and can no longer stress it that way. I could do it with the kneading "thing" on my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but, to me, somehow that would be cheating. 🤔

[@dzuke3127]

The quality of this video is beautiful.

[@EnglishHeritage]

Thank you Dana, we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@douglasgrant8315]

She uses old English terms that I never heard before. She referred to baking powder as a raising agent. A reference I've never heard before.

[@picantesworld7723]

Caster sugar as well. Caster as you put on top of stuff like creme brulee etc.

[@tracycarmack9714]

These videos are so wholesome and soothing. I like to imagine that I could learn to cook like this...

[@borkingmad756]

So nice to see the actress who plays her get more and more into character over the years! What a queen

[@wiwikawaii473]

Her : well, everybody knows the victorian sandwiches . Me living in Algeria having no idea what it looks alike : *i can even cook them instead of you*

[@sagajilani3101]

Yes, I agree. Sifting the flour is very important. You want to make sure there are no mice droppings in your batter!

[@solatiumz]

Or weevils.

[@sietesaudades7586]

SCREAMING!!!!!

[@kennethmaese4622]

Was there only sweet sandwiches during the Victorian ages or were there savory sandwiches as well?

[@seikibrian8641]

They had both.

[@Howdy_Its_Ash]

Kenneth Maese The sandwiches we have today were more a working class food. You know gotta shovel it all in before your off to the fields

[@seikibrian8641]

+ Reggie LovesLife "The sandwiches we have today were more a working class food." Interestingly, the working classes -- both in the fields and in the mills -- usually had soups and stews to eat during the early Victorian era; thus the origin of the "lunch bucket." The first instance of the modern sandwich in the Western world was circa 1762, when John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, requested some thin slices of meat be placed between two slices of bread so that he could eat while playing cribbage, without needing utensils and without getting his hands (and thus the cards) greasy. Lord Sandwich was also a busy bureaucrat, and took to eating his creation at his desk while working. When some of his peers began ordering food "just like Sandwich's" the name was born. ("Sandwich's" --> "sandwiches.") Initially perceived as food that wealthy men shared while gaming and drinking at night, the sandwich slowly began appearing in polite society as a light, late-night meal among the aristocracy, and "finger sandwiches" became something ladies would eat at teas. In the United States, the sandwich was first promoted as an elaborate meal at supper. By the early 20th century, as bread became a staple of the American diet, the sandwich became the same kind of popular, quick meal we think of today. However back in Britain, and elsewhere in Europe, the sandwich had begun to shift in popularity from the aristocrats to the working class decades earlier -- in the mid-19th century, when the rise of the industrial society and the working classes made fast, portable meals a necessity.

great history on the origin of sandwiches

[@ilalidriss4027]

Am i the only one finding the british accent absolutely beautifull ? Classy? So peacefull Can hear her talk all day.

[@MSW96]

For some reason, this is my favorite Mrs. Crocombe video 😊 The sandwiches look so yummy!!

[@yerinjung377]

wow shes good at acting and cooking i would love her to be my nanny

[@melisamontecino3240]

I love these videos, I searched "how to make butter" and found this piece of jewelry.

[@NexusGas]

My mind told me to stop watching because I'll never make these, but my eyes couldn't look away!

[@MyRickynOlivia]

I need more of Ms. Crocombe...I've already watched all of her videos!!! Now I'm sad. She needs her own channel. I saw her interview she could easily have enough content to cover Victorian era cooking. She is best ASMR to watch.

[@facts4060]

These videos are so peaceful to watch....IDK but these video make me calm down physically n mentally....
