Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

During Whether you love food, or love to bake, or just someone who loves having fun in the kitchen, there is no doubt that Christmas time is something to look forward to when it comes to baking. One glance in any grocery store, and it’s easy to see why. During holidays there is no shortage to bake from trays upon trays of cookies and singles, pies, cakes, and cupcakes that are covered in Christmas colours and sprinkles.

The smell of fresh, hot bread baking in the oven is music to any baker’s ears. From shortbread to challah, from sweet brioche to classic baguettes.  There are more varieties of bread out there than you could imagine! Christmas bread is often more decorative and has celebratory qualities. Such as the Bulgarian Christmas Bread that symbolizes prosperity for the upcoming year. Other classic Christmas bread from around the World include Panettone or Stollen, filled with fruits and nuts. 

Let’s see some of the Christmas Breads around the World:

  • Stollen Bread :

Stollen bread has been a German holiday tradition for centuries. Its origins date to 13th century Germany, and it is now popular around the World. A sweet bread with dried fruits and candied orange and citron zests. Stollen get its rectangular shape from three baking pans and its gently spiced aroma. The rich flavour from rum-soaked dried fruit and myriad spices: cinnamon, clove, cardamom, anise seed, ginger, nutmeg, lemon peel and orange peel. Let the flavours mingle for several days before slicing thinly to serve warm or at room temperature as a dessert or midmorning.

For best results, allow Stollen Bread dough to rise at room temperature for 4 hours. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for approximately 35 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Make-ahead tip: Stollen keeps well on the countertop for 3 days. Rewarm stollen on a baking sheet in a 250°F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until warmed through.

  • Krendel Christmas Bread:

Try this tasty Krendel Christmas Bread recipe! It’s an important Russian tradition to have this during the holiday season. Ideally, you want to allow plenty of time for the dough to rise, so it has a nice, soft texture with a delicious filling of pears, apples, cherries, honey and nuts. If your kitchen is cool, you may need more time for it to properly rise.

A rich yeast dough is the foundation of the Krendel tradition, and the recipe has been passed on from generations and made with care in every detail. In this Yeast Dough recipe collection, you get four varieties: two elaborate versions filled with pears, nuts and fruits. A soft version filled with plums, and the basics for a vanilla cream-filled Krendel.

  • Swedish Coffee Bread :

Most bakers know Swedish coffee bread as cardamom bread. For this loaf, add sugar and cinnamon and top it with sliced almonds and raisins. As much as we love these classic elements, we also think you can feel free to experiment and add your touches. For example, try replacing the almonds with walnuts. Substitute with chopped dried apricots or raisins for the raisins and sliced almonds.

It’s not just for the Christmas season to bake and eat some delicious Swedish coffee bread. We can eat it at any time of the year! Whether you use it as a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or if you enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea in the evening, there are so many ways to enjoy this bread.

  • Panettone :

The Champagne of Italian bread, Panettone, is a super-sweet and buttery celebration of the holiday season. Typically filled with candied fruits and topped with vanilla or rum-flavoured icing, it makes a wonderful dessert or afternoon treat. Light, fluffy and moist, this traditional Italian fruit- or chocolate-filled Panettone is best served when soft and warm with a cup of espresso. It is an excellent choice to serve at Christmas breakfast with fresh fruit and rum fragrance.

  • Chai-Spiced Tea Loaves :

Have a potluck or tea party on your hands? Chai-Spiced Tea Loaves are a delicious, not to mention beautiful, way to bring something homemade to the table. These loaves are made from a flour blend that includes whole-wheat flour, which gives them a hearty texture and earthy flavour. They’re easy to make ahead and freeze for up to three months, making them perfect for giving as a hostess gift during the holiday season.

Chai is a blend of warming spices, and this bread includes several of them, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves. The bread gets its sweetness from coconut sugar and maple syrup. Light and sweet, these loaves can be alternately baked as mini-cakes and served with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.

Traditional Christmas Food

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

Each country of the world has its traditional Christmas foods, although not all are eaten only during the holidays. They are all part of the “Festive Season” and although their origins are varied, many have become an integral part of this time of year.

Savory smoked ham, roasted chestnuts, and the sweet yule log are favorite festive foods. We explore their importance in festivities from around the globe. Starting from Italy’s mushroom risotto to New Year’s Day specialties in Japan and turkey and turnips in the UK. Cupcakes, eggnog, and several other sweets and treats can all be found in this collection of traditional recipes for Christmas food.

Cooking a delicious, fresh Christmas meal is a long-held tradition with a modern flair. Traditional Christmas foods with a modern twist make a memorable meal with family and friends. This collection of recipes is designed to get your creative cooking juices flowing.

Roast Goose:

The secret to preparing a gorgeously roasted goose is the overnight brining. Salt-curing the goose for several hours helps it absorb more moisture.  It Keeps the meat incredibly moist during roasting. This recipe also fills the cavity with onions, apples, celery, and bay leaves. These are discarded later but benefit the dish by flavoring the bird during cooking. Pricking the skin helps create a rich golden layer of crispy skin on top of each piece of goose meat.

Turkey :

The turkey became the perfect holiday bird, slicing neatly into portions. Created Sauces, stuffing, and pies to complement this new centerpiece of the celebration. Nowadays, most Americans still see Thanksgiving as the main time for serving turkey. Although the Christmas dinner is also big, particularly in Catholic countries.  Turkey is the star of many festive holiday meals. Turkey can be roasted whole, stuffed, or ground up for meatballs, meatloaf, and burgers. This versatile bird has a mild flavor that pairs well with all kinds of sides.

Today, roasted turkey is a classic holiday dish, appearing on tables British tables during Christmas. Butter-rubbed roasted turkey is an irresistible combination of crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. In this recipe, the roast bird’s many aromatics—garlic cloves, onion slivers, lemon halves—lend flavor to a mixture of herbs and spices on the outside. Although only a small amount of butter is spread over the skin before roasting. It melts as the turkey heats up, puddling between the skin and breast meat. Serving this roast turkey with gravy made from pan drippings makes for a particularly rich meal.

Glazed Ham :

The glazed spiral ham is the perfect centerpiece for your Christmas dinner. The precooked ham contains phosphates to enhance juiciness. It includes a glaze made with butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, orange juice concentrate, white wine vinegar, cloves, and lemon peel. It ensures that your family will enjoy it as much as you will.

Serving ham during Christmas, the preparation must start at least four weeks before the holiday. To ensure a tender, flavorful Christmas ham, cooks must select a young, well-fed pig and cure it using a dry rub of salt and brown sugar. The true artistry comes from barding—wrapping the ham in a thin layer of fat from the pig to protect the meat from drying out during its long stay in the oven. Traditionally served with braised red cabbage, boiled potatoes, braised greens, and cornbread dressing.  Glazed spiral hams make an impressive centerpiece for holiday tables.

Plum Christmas Pudding: 

Christmas is on its way, and this year, make it even more special with Plum Christmas Pudding. It’s old-fashioned comfort food with pureed dried fruit, roasted almonds, brandy, pumpkin seeds, and spices. And now you can enjoy it as a pudding pie with your family and friends. Not only is the pudding pie baked in a pie crust to create a sliceable dessert, but it has that homemade appeal that adds ambiance to your holiday celebrations. Everyone will love it!

Fruit Cake:

Today’s fruitcakes are still likely to feature hefty amounts of figs, dates, raisins, chestnuts, and other fruits like cherries. Many recipes incorporate brandy or rum for an added kick, and some also contain pineapple or coconut for tropical flair. Most traditional recipes use an entirely dried fruit filling.  Nowadays, many cooks make their batter with fresh fruit like strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, plums.

The modern fruitcake is very different. Over time, the cake became synonymous with Christmas. Both commercial and homemade versions of fruitcake grew more sugary and less fruity. While folks in some parts of the country still look at fruitcakes as a symbol of the holidays.

These are some of the traditional Christmas food. Anyone can try this holiday to create a great get-together or family dinner.

Britain’s Best Christmas Desserts

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

There is a great variety of traditional desserts to try during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Certain preparations start as early as September for the traditional Christmas cake in Britain. Check out various options try  bring up your holiday cheers  the British way !

Best Christmas Desserts:

Christmas Cake:

On Christmas Eve, it’s the tradition in Britain to have a slice of Christmas cake, which was called plum pudding in olden times. Its origins supposedly go back to Medieval Italy . When in the Twelfth Century Charles the Great in Germany took over the city Palermo, which had similar traditions. The cake or pudding contains dried fruits marinated in brandy or rum, spices, raisins, almonds, oranges and apples. It is very rich with candied peel and whole spices, which gives it a wonderful flavour.

Looking for an alternative cake then a Scottish Dundee cake would be great. It is packed with fruits and nuts and is less heavily flavoured with spices. It’s not as heavily spiced as a classic British Christmas cake. So if you’re looking for a more subtle Christmas cake, try a Dundee.

Mince Pie:

Traditionally eaten after Christmas dinner, mince pie remains the second most popular treat to serve during the Christmas holiday in Britain. Fruits and spices, are used together with suet and wrapped in light, melting pastry.

For a festive twist on a traditional mince pie, try a frangipane mince pie. It is similar like the traditional mince pie and has a welcoming cover of almond-flavoured cake. It’s  topping provides a unique flavour combination.

British Christmas Pudding:

There is no better way to kick off your holiday season than with a traditional English Christmas Pudding. American puddings  are dark, sticky, and dense sponge. It looks like a fruitcake, with mixed dried fruit, candied fruit peel, apple and citrus zest. The use of Brandy and spices provide a deep, complex flavour and signature dark colour.

Although the number of ingredients may seem daunting, the recipe will come together easily if you prep everything ahead of time. Christmas pudding is best enjoyed after it sits for a few weeks so the flavours can mingle and mature.

Trifle:

A British dessert of a ‘trifle’ is a quintessential treat that has graced British tables for hundreds of years. It is simply luscious and usually includes alcohol, while the fruit can be an acquired taste for some.

An English trifle is made with Sponge fingers or pound cake, soaked in sherry, jelly, a thick layer of creamy custard, and lightly whipped fresh cream. The rest is all about personal preference. A delicious trifle is made with jelly, so that children can enjoy it as well as the adults because it gives the cake more texture. If you prefer a trifle without jelly, proceed without it—this will be quicker to make because it doesn’t need to be set up in the fridge. Both are equally delicious.

Scottish Shortbread:

Butter was a luxury item before the invention of margarine, which allows us to make shortbreads more often. Scottish Shortbread is eaten around Christmas and an essential part of Hogmanay. Shortbread is made using a lot of butter,so it was considered a special treat. 

Scottish shortbread cookies are made for snacks any time of the day. The success depends on handling the dough with care and working it as little as possible. For storing the shortbread, choose an airtight container and keep it in a cold place for a week or ten days in the fridge.

Yule Log Cake:

A classic Yule Log Cake is served throughout the Christmas in Europe as a traditional cake. This recipe is a classic version using a chocolate sponge cake and Italian buttercream. It can be made with sponge cake, and flavoured and filled with ice cream, whipped cream, mousses, ganaches, fruit, and more. The variation might change, the technique is the same. A simple filling that is rolled as a swirl and decorated with buttercream.

Stollen Cake:

Stollen cakes are quite popular around the Christmas holidays. We should eat it at other times as it is utterly delicious. It’s filled with almonds, dried fruit, and citrus peel inside a rich pastry dough.

These are some of the best desserts that are served during Christmas time. This special occasion is filled with love, family, friends, drinks and food. Let’s check out the dessert list Brook pub in Cambridge has to offer during this Christmas season. We have come up with a special Christmas menu with new recipes to make your holidays even more special. It will be available from the 25th of November to the 30th of December. So don’t wait till the festival is here enjoy our food and keep coming again !!

What Do You Mean by Cocktails and Mocktails

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

Cocktails and mocktails are two types of drinks that are served all over the world in bars, clubs, and restaurants. They are often consumed in social gatherings and with friends. They look alike from outside, and people tend to confuse these drinks with each other.

Let us see their differences!

What are Cocktails?

A Cocktail is a drink that contains a spirit, usually alcohol, syrup, usually sugar water, and some form of garnish. Most people think of a cocktail as a mixed drink, but we can also make a cocktail with a single ingredient, gin, and tonic.

In the late 18th century, the cocktail was invented when Jerry Thomas created the first drink that combined spirits and syrup. Thomas’s book, The Bartender’s Guide, was published in 1863.

The origins of the word cocktail are uncertain. Some think that it is derived from “cocktail hour,” when bartenders mix drinks for customers. Others think it derives from a “cocktail ring,” a ring of fruit that bartenders used to garnish drinks.

The cocktail was popularized at the end of the 19th century, during an era known as “the Gilded Age.” During this period, people went out more and drank more. The cocktail was popular in Europe and the United States until the early 20th century, when the martini became more popular. Now it is making a comeback among young people.

The recipe for a cocktail depends on the type of drink. Some cocktails are just spirits mixed with syrup, and other cocktails use fruit juice, such as orange juice and lime juice. Still, other cocktails use egg whites or cream as an ingredient.

A cocktail doesn’t work very well by itself, but it somehow improves upon itself when combined with other drinks.

The classical cocktail, of course, is the English liquid lunch: gin and vermouth. Gin is a neutral spirit flavored with juniper berries, the ubiquitous spice in England. Vermouth is a wine-like drink flavored with herbs and cooked. Which are the discarded leaves, skins, and grape seeds from the production of wine.

Tried other flavors, but in the end, the gin-vermouth combination worked better than any other. Why? Because the combination of juniper and vermouth is delicious, but the two ingredients on their own are hardly remarkable. Gin and vermouth are classic cocktails but can make cocktails from almost any two ingredients. The trouble with cocktails is that different combinations work better than others.

Modern cocktails combine several types of ingredients. For example, some cocktails contain spirits, syrup, fruit juice, and garnish. Other cocktails combine spirits with fruit juice and syrup. Still, others combine spirits with other drinks, such as beer or wine. We can also serve cocktails over ice.

What are Mocktails?

Mocktails are non-alcoholic beverages, especially drinks containing fruit juice, syrup, or carbonated water. Historically, the term Mocktail was used to describe non-alcoholic beverages. They were consumed during late Victorian and Edwardian times. However, the practice is still prevalent today. Mocktails, however, can also be mixed drinks containing alcohol and non-alcoholic ingredients.

Originally the drinks were conceived as an alternative to alcoholic drinks. They were often served in fashionable restaurants during the temperance era and based on fruit juices. They were often perceived as a healthier alternative to alcohol. Mocktails became fashionable by the 1890s and were especially popular in Edwardian England. They were popular in Britain in the 1950s and 60s and are still a widespread beverage in pubs and clubs.

We can create Mocktails even at home; fruit juices, carbonated water, and sugar syrup can all be mixed to make a mocktail. We can also serve them in glasses, such as a highball glass or a traditional cocktail glass.

It is believed to have originated in the 19th century. Mocktails became popular in aristocratic households during this time. They were especially popular in the Victorian era. The drinks were loved in Britain during the Edwardian period.  It was when the traditional drinks such as sherry were more popular today. 

We can also serve Mocktails in decorative glassware, which is an important part of mocktail preparation. The glassware can be elaborately decorated and may vary from glass to glass.

Some of Brook Pub’s Amazing Cocktails

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

There are many cocktails that originated in Great Britain. In fact, it seems like almost every drink you find at a pub or restaurant has a British connection. Some are considered traditional British drinks while others are more modern inventions. Either way, if you’re visiting Great Britain you’ll want to sample these drinks for yourself.

The British have a long history of mixing wine and spirits. In fact, some consider cocktails to be part of our cultural heritage. The origins of cocktails can be traced back to the very first glass that was ever poured. While there is no definitive record of when the very first cocktail was made or by whom, historians estimate that the first cocktail was created somewhere between 1660 and 1700.

The best thing about British cocktails is that most of them are easy to make. Most drinks are also inexpensive — after all, they are made with ingredients that are readily available in any supermarket or liquor store. But if you are looking for something unusual, then you might want to try making your own. This is a great way to learn how to make your own drinks and share them with your friends and family.

Let’s check out some Best Cocktails served by the Brook Pub :

Matcha Pisco Sour:

What’s better than a refreshing, refreshing beverage? A cocktail. And when it comes to the best cocktails available, Pisco Sour has to be at the top of the list. The sweet and tart combination of liquor and tea is the perfect pick-me-up for a cold day or evening. The addition of egg white gives this cocktail an extra boost of protein, which makes it ideal for breakfast or evening snacks. The different textures of the ingredients also give it an extra layer of complexity, making it just that much more satisfying.

The Pisco Sour is perhaps the quintessential cocktail. It may be the perfect balance between sweet and bitter, with citrus notes balanced by rich, creamy, vanilla flavours. It’s the type of cocktail that makes you think wow, this is amazing! Many bartenders consider it the foundation of their craft and it’s easy to see why. The Pisco Sour is easy to make, versatile and delicious. It takes very little effort and virtually eliminates any need for storage space. It’s also incredibly easy to customize, allowing you to tailor each drink to your personal preference. This drink needs to be served in an Old Fashioned Glass.

Bombay Spiced Mary :

The Bombay Spiced Mary is a refreshing cocktail perfect for hot summer days. It’s packed full of flavour – from the spice-infused gin to the tart and earthy celery. The addition of fresh lemon and tomato juice helps bring out the citrus flavours in the gin, while the Worcestershire sauce brings a delicious sweetness to the cocktail. The cinnamon, salt, pepper and Tabasco adds just the right amount of spice to the drink – without overpowering it.

This is one of my most popular cocktails, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a great summer drink with bright citrus flavours, and the addition of spice adds some extra kick. It’s perfect for when you’re feeling summery and want a change of pace from your usual drink. It’s also one of the most simple cocktails I’ve ever made. It’s basically a Bombay Sapphire Gin Highball garnished with a little bit of something extra.

Bombay Spiced Mary is the perfect drink for anyone who loves gin and tonics. It is a classic cocktail that is easy to make at home. It is ideal for parties and celebrations. This drink has an interesting mix of flavours, is easy to make and always adds a little extra zing to your celebrations. 

Passion fruit Mojito:

Passion fruit Mojito is an exotic twist on an old favourite. It’s a refreshing blend of light rum, fresh mint, passion fruit puree, crushed ice and soda water. The addition of soda water gives this cocktail a floral flavour that compliments the fruity hints of the rum and passion fruit. You can serve this drink in a tall glass or lowball glass. Either way, it’s sure to be a hit with your guests this summer! 

This is a great summer drink that you can enjoy on any occasion. The rum is sweet but balanced out by the lime juice and mint. If you want it a little more alcoholic, you can add a little more sugar or alcohol to the lime juice. You can also add some mint leaves on top for extra flavour or you can leave them off the top.

How To Make An Easy Pub-Style Chicken A blog about how to make food for everyone to enjoy

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

Pub style chicken is a relative term, and it is being used to describe chicken dishes served in British pubs. It is most popular in the United Kingdom and is usually served as part of fish and chips. Pub style chicken is usually a fried chicken served with gravy and chips.

British pub-style chicken are chicken dishes that are being served in a broth. It is being eaten with a bread roll. Some pub-style chicken dishes include chicken pie, chicken pot pie, chicken curry, and chicken congee. These dishes are seen in British pubs, restaurants, and takeaways.

Pub-style chicken recipes are easy to make at home. We can find the classic dish in so many British pubs that it’s become a cliché. It’s also very popular in America. The British have, yet, taken pub-style chicken well beyond the traditional salt-and-pepper version.

You’ll find the recipes with many ingredients, from chipotle and lime to molasses and ginger. Some use orange juice, gherkins, or olives.

But no matter what flavours you choose, it’s important to know that pub-style chicken recipes are great. They generally involve chicken, salt, and pepper. And for the best results, use skin-on free-range chicken.

Coat the chicken with flour, salt, and pepper. The flour will help add flavour, and the flour crust will crisp up on the grill. Salt and pepper will help add flavour, too, but be sure to use enough. Next, sear the chicken on both sides. Searing the chicken will seal in the chicken flavour and ensure that you don’t end up with chewy chicken.

Cook the chicken on the stovetop first, then finish it in the oven, so it develops a nice crust. Next, serve your pub-style chicken family-style. This dish is always served family-style.  So if you’re serving it for one or two people, you’re going to have leftovers.

At the Brook pub in Cambridge, we serve the best Premium chicken and Ham pie. Pub-style chicken and ham pies are delicious, nutritious, hearty meals. They are perfect for a quick weeknight meal, and dinner party guests will love them too.

The recipes consist of a meat pie that is the chicken and ham pie, and it is often made with puff pastry. Although we use puff pastry for the pastry, you can use any pastry you desire. While the recipes look complex, it is simple to make.

When making pub-style chicken and ham pies, follow the steps in the recipe. To finish the recipe, brush each pastry shell with beaten egg.  Then sprinkle each pastry shell with bread crumbs. Pie shells do not have to be rightly shaped; once they are filled, they will attain the shape. Next, place each pastry shell on a baking sheet. After the pub-style chicken and ham pies have cooled, serve the pies with slices of lemon.

Another Chicken recipe from Brooks kitchen is the roasted half British chicken. Our chicken dish is an impressive meal that our customers always love to eat. The chicken legs, wings, and thighs are roasted to perfection. We will serve with vegetables and a herb sate sauce. At the Brook Pub, we serve not only British pub food but also Indian and Italian dishes. The best-selling dish is the chicken curry made from simple ingredients that leave the guests wanting more. We can prepare the curry according to the spice levels one can handle. So next time, try out the curry with some extra spice to enjoy more flavours.

The pub has a beautiful outdoor garden where kids and elders can have a great time. You can host family gatherings and parties with friends in the garden area. If you have a pet, then get them along as it’s a pet-friendly place too. 

We are also planning to open cocktails shortly, which will be notified on our social media soon. I guess it’s time to have more fun as we intend to bring in some positive vibe to our place after the pandemic. So join us for experiencing the best British pub food and the finest drinks we have to offer. 

How we serve the best burger in the market a blog around Burgers

Posted on by Madhuri Vuggina

First of all, what is a burger? A hamburger is a sandwich consisting of a cooked patty of ground meat. It is usually served in a sliced bun as part of a larger meal. But, there are many types of burgers in the market. Starting from the traditional hamburger to the cheeseburger. In this article, we will discuss how to make one of the best burgers for most taste and satisfaction.

Burgers are one of the best high-protein foods, and among these burgers, we have many types. For example, there is a classic burger, a burger with cheese, a burger with meat changes, the meat, and so on. But what makes a great burger?

There are many factors that can affect the quality of the burger:

The quality and freshness of beef and ingredients. The excellent taste of beef is due to its tenderness. When we cook the meat we must pay attention to the quality and freshness of the meat. It is because if it does not make good taste for our mouth, it will make us sick.

The seasoning of the mushrooms or other ingredients such as garlic or onions adds flavor. These seasonings make a good taste for your mouth if they are fresh and of good quality. These seasonings also add flavor to the meat. So you must use it in every bite that you eat to get the best taste.

The ratio between cheese and vegetables or other ingredients such as bacon or onions must be right. We must not put too much cheese in our mouths as we can get fat. When we are using cheese in burgers, these ratios are very important when eating.

If you want to make sure that your burgers are delicious, you have to get all the right ingredients. The best way to do this is by using a meat grinder. You can use any type of grinder, but it’s important that you get one that has an adjustable blade. This will ensure that your burgers get grounded well and produce a great result every time.

You’ll also need some method for storing your ground beef before cooking it. You should always use airtight containers. This is because your burgers will only be good for a day or two. If you go this route, you should invest in some vacuum sealer bags. These are great for making sure that your burgers stay fresh. It helps not to lose too much quality on the way to market.

There’s a fundamental problem with the burger industry. People should understand how to make a great burger.

A good burger should be juicy and flavorful, with a crust that holds together and doesn’t fall apart. It should have a good balance of beef to bread (and some other things, like tomato). It should cook in medium-well and serve on fresh-baked bread.

One of the most important elements of any burger is that it has some sort of visual appeal. If your burger looks like something you could find on the side of the road, you’ve got problems. But if it looks like something you’d find at a pub or a restaurant, you’ve got something special.

We at the Brook Pub serve the best Burgers in Cambridge. Our menu includes Southern fried chicken, Classic beef, and Spicy veg burger.
