Mini Lemon Scones with Strawberries and Cream

Don't worry about leftovers; scones freeze well and are perfect for breakfast. Devonshire cream (a clotted cream from England) is very thick and rich and does not require whipping. Look for small jars in the dairy section of the grocery store.

Cheddar Scones

Sweet Potato Muffins

Hearty Squash and Lima Bean Soup

Drizzle each bowl of soup with lemon juice to add fresh flavour. Serve with Green Onion and Cheddar Scones.

Vanilla Anise Cookies

The coarse sugar on these licorice-flavoured drops glistens like snowballs. Split the remaining vanilla bean half and place in airtight container with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. The vanilla will permeate the sugar. Use it to sprinkle on scones or cookies, or in your morning coffee.

Full English Breakfast

The “full English” is known the world over, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own delicious variations of the fry-up.
 

Breakfast club

Ever-popular with hangover sufferers and holiday makers, the “fry-up” is one British classic that crosses the class divide – you’ll find it in the swankiest of hotels as well as the greasiest of greasy spoons. The basic components include sausage, bacon, eggs, tomato and mushrooms . A full English sometimes also has black pudding, baked beans and fried bread, and a full Scottish might add tattie (potato) scones, haggis and oatcakes. An Ulster fry also features soda bread and potato farls, and the Welsh lineup is completed with laver bread (made from seaweed) and cockles.
