Best of British

Recipes: Apple and blueberry pie, Custard with thyme, Caramel banana shortbread, Sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce, Carrot cake with mascarpone and candied carrots, Lemon curd syllabub. The location provided the theme and in the first episode James returned to where he grew up and first started cooking, Castle Howard in Yorkshire. So the first week’s theme was Best of British. James attempted to save some British classics and went out to test desserts such as spotted dick, junket and Sussex pond pudding on the general public to see if they recognise them.
