Cook Your Own Adventure: British Holiday Favorites, Part 1

Bubble and Squeak

Christmas is normally a time to be with family, but this year my plans to visit the UK are cancelled. Lamenting that the joy of sharing my holiday cooking was also cancelled, I had an epiphany! I can still share my holiday cooking with you, my social family.

A cooking perfectionist, I am not. I like to wing it and have a “choose your own adventure” experience. While I’ll give you options to go your own way with these dishes, I also invite you to explore, have fun with them yourself!

Look for recipes and cooking tips over the next three weeks for:

1. Mum’s Bubble and Squeak
2. Nanna’s Christmas Puddings
3. Max’s Favorite Sausage Rolls
4. My Yorkshire Puddings

I would love to see how you get on if you try these out (tag me on Instagram, @bxhoughton) and feel free to ask for advice on my post there or here.

Looking forward to sharing the love and the joy of cooking with you all this holiday season. x

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK, so called because of the sound it makes as it cooks — have a listen to the video on Instagram, can you…
