      @@donnakawana -- Treacle tart was created late in the 19th century, so perhaps too late to be part of Mrs. Crocombe's 'repertoire'. Also, it was probably not sufficiently elegant or sophisticated to be served at the masters' table. However, she has made simple dishes -- and there's no harm in asking.

    In Crocombs time did they actually start to realize whole grain flour was healthier?
    I always read that they, especially the wealthy, only wanted white flour due to it's pure whiteness and it's a bit more expensive since it was processed more.

      OK, here's a good recipe. One litre of milk - start it on the boil with a good lump of butter - between 15 - 30mls - in it. In the meantime whisk 2 eggs, a good heaped 1/3 cup of sugar, about 10mls vanilla essence, 40mls flour and 40mls cornstarch or cornflour, whatever you call it in your country. Make a good paste of all this in a large bowl. As soon as the milk comes to boil pour it onto your paste and stir the hell out of it to stop it clumping. With a whisk. Switch the heat of and pour the whole lot back in the saucepan and let it just simmer slightly on residual heat. Lovely stuff.

      @@Certainvie Early in my adulthood I burned out the motor on a mixer and had to finish my Christmas baking by hand. I quickly found that I actually preferred the hand methods because it made way less mess, I could feel the difference between just right and overdone in a way I’d never even imagined, and, biggest surprise of all, 99% of the tasks weren’t actually any more difficult to do by hand than they had been when I’d learned to bake using my mom’s nice stand mixer. At that point, I’d had a hand mixer and was looking forward to graduating to a stand mixer…that Christmas I learned I’d rather use my money some other way.
      But whipping egg whites is the one task I truly do find easier with an electric tool. I have an immersion blender with a removable head that you can switch out for a whisk attachment, and that’s my go to for egg whites now.

    Maybe there were no troubles with the rest of the staff today, or a brutal heat wave finally ended.
    Hmmm, according to Wikipedia, she didn't marry until after leaving Audley End. Crocombe is, after all, her maiden name. Maybe she had a pleasant walk with that fellow who manages the apples. I sensed some chemistry there in a previous video, and I ain't talkin' cider.

      I agree, and I think it looks really good, but better served with a brandy sauce. I'm not too shocked it's so different. America is more known for cherry pie than Great Britain is.

    That looks like something I could make, again! With sour cherries, because father has loads of those.

    QUESTION: If you know, how were cooks hired by the household? Did they have to be recommended by someone else or did they have to cook for the family on a trial basis?

    • @PLuMUK54
      @PLuMUK54 2 роки тому +6

      Many of the upper servants were registered with agencies, especially in London. A person requiring a cook for a large establishment would approach the agency. The agents were usually trusted, and an employer would often not interview more than the servant suggested. We see this in the films "Around the World in Eighty Days" and "Nanny McPhee.
      An alternative method was to advertise in newspapers (particularly "The Times") and trade magazines, or even magazines aimed at a female audience (such as "The Lady"). The advert could be from a servant announcing that they were available, or from an employer announcing a vacancy at their establishment. We see this in the film "Mary Poppins"
      Although recommendations might be made, that would be unusual as an employer who had a good upper servant would be unlikely to want them to leave. An employer might, however, recommend a lower servant for a promotion, particularly to members of the family.
