England
Scouse, Bubble and Squeak and Eton Mess, oh my! English recipes don’t usually spring to mind when most people think of haute cuisine. But traditional English foods can warm your body and your soul. Here are some of our favorite […]
The name Eton Mess may at first not sound particularly appetizing, but it’s a truly tasty mix of sweet and crunchy meringue, succulent fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and sweet strawberry syrup – a fantastic mixture of flavors and textures. […]
