10 English Cuisine Ideas

Around the World Dinner (or Dessert) Series

10 English cuisine ideas for an English dinner or dessert, as part of a series of around the world family meals. Share an English dinner (or dessert) with your family. For ideas of when you might plan an English family meal, check out my original post, Around the World Dinner (or Dessert). Definitely, my focus is on creating an experience as a whole rather than being exact with recipes from a specific location. I wan’t to reiterate that I’m not expert in around the world cuisine or English dining. Still, I have collected a list of English recipes and ideas our family uses either in a regular meal plan already, new recipes we’ve tried, as well as others we may try in the future. Also, this list is simply a few ideas to get started with- feel free to add ideas to your own list.
