Sunday dinner?!
Now I live in the U.S. and I really want to have this typical english meal.
But I have 2 problems: I am not a good cook, and over here they don't sell it... So I'd have to do it from scratch.
I've told my husband and his family how good english food is... And I don't wanna make it badly and disappoint them!
Does anyone have an "easy-for-a-newbie" recipe, or know a reliable import website to buy from?
I really like it with Bisto gravy and they don't sell it here either!
Thanks for the help!
Answers: I'm from Spain and I lived in England for about 2 years, and I really enjoyed the Sunday dinners that are popular over there, with the gravy, yorkshire puddings etc.

But you don't NEED gravy powder for gravy, get cornflour for the thickening and use the panjuices, it'll taste fantastic. Check out the recipes at the bottom.
You can get Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puds on this site too - they're the best, I know it seems like cheating but honestly it's hard to pick the difference, and you just chuck them in the oven for 4 minutes while you're dishing up everything else.
You can definitely find recipes online for your roast, important to remember to rest it (take it out of the oven and leave it in a warm place to cool slowly) for a few minutes before cutting into it at all - like steak, this will allow the juices to circulate and make the whole thing much juicier.
For my roast veg, I like to peel and chop into large pieces potato, carrot and parsnip, bring a pot of lightly salted water to the boil, chuck the veg in, bring it to the boil again, then time it for 6 minutes, then drain it. Leave the veg in the colander for a couple of minutes to dry out properly, then shake them HARD to crumble the outsides. Then put them in the roasting pan (which already has hot oil in it), add wedges of pumpkin, toss everything thoroughly, season (I use herbs de provence, granulated garlic and onion, and black pepper) and toss again. Chuck back in the oven for an hour on 180 - I guarantee they'll be fantastic, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Remember to serve horseradish sauce alongside your roast too!
All these recipes come from the BBC site - I find it really reliable.

This one's Delia Smith - the goddess of British home cooking - it's really good because it's step-by-step, as if she's talking you through it:

i reccoomend gravy with mashed potatoes..just microwave 2 potatoes and mash up..add buter and bilk and salt and pepper to taste..microwave again if necessary...also, a nice steak might be like!
2 pork shoulder (Boston butt) steaks - can actually be any type of steak u like
1 large onion, sliced
2 cups ketchup
2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
DIRECTIONS
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork steaks on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place in the skillet and cook until browned on each side, about 4 minutes per side.
Place sliced onions on top of the steaks in the pan. Stir together the ketchup and water in a medium bowl; pour over the steaks. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 2 hours. The longer you cook, the better the meat tastes.
You can`t IMPORT a sunday roast - you mad fool!!! You have to make it from scratch... get a nice big piece of beef, put it into a hot oven and keep checking on it... dont let it cook for too long though, it should be quite rare in the middle... then partly boil your spuds and then put `em in the oven with the beef... as for the gravy I dunno where you`d get it... I did live in L.A. for a while and there was a "British shop" that sold all things like that... you can get all the recipies on line I`m sure - just google it or something.. Good luck - enjoy your food! Sunday dinner is THE BEST!!! I always keep that tradition up!
they've said all, good luck
Meatloaf,Mashed potatoes,Carrots and dinner roll good stuff!
