About How To Make Sherry Trifle and British Fools -Traditional English Desserts

Sherry Trifle is considered by many people to be the premier British dessert experience and yet it is surprisingly 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:


Bird's custardmaraschino cherriesfruit cocktailraspberriesstrawberries (frozen or not)lots of heavy whipping cream for the toppingand let's not forget the ladyfingers cookies!

All of this frequently displayed in special trifle bowls or dishes.

However, many North American trifle recipes call for Jello(R) and vanilla pudding - these are not ingredients you will find in an authentic English trifle.

British Fools are light, fresh fruit desserts that are not only tasty, but somewhat impressive, too.

I'm happy to include several different types of Fools, some of them with their own variations.

Most are quick and easy to make and are perfect for those special dessert dishes you've been saving for a special occasion.

This book is a step-by-step guide to creating my family's version of these incredible desserts that will delight your guests and have them praising your culinary skills to all your friends.

About Authentic English Recipes
It's great to try new recipes for the first time. To experience new flavours 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.

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.
