RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Born in the 1950's in Manchester, England and immigrated to Canada while still young and impressionable. Raised by blue blood british parents who, with staunch british authority, brought me up often kicking and screaming on traditional English fare. From this came my passion for true and authentic British dishes and condiments. As these items were not to be found on Canadian menus or in stores, my only recourse was to recreate them myself. I've been successfully cloning the Brand Name guys for over 30 years to the delight of friends and strangers alike. My hope is you will enjoy them too.
