• Infinite variety of breads—Dinner Biscuits, Estate Oat Bread, Downton Dinner Rolls, and many more
• Soups—Majestic Potato Soup, Royal Cheddar Cheese Soup, and Stilton Chowder
• Side Dishes—Asparagus in Cider Sauce, Baked Creamed Turnips, Shredded Spiced Brussels Sprouts, and Savory Caraway Cabbage
• Entrées—Edwardian Leg of Lamb, Lobster Pudding, Oyster Roll, Leek Pie, Downton Pheasant Casserole, and Pork Loaf with Apples
• Dessert at the Abbey—Lemon Crème Soufflé, Raspberries in Sherry Sabayon Sauce, Queen Victoria Rice Pudding, and Downton Abbey Honey Cake

With recipes adapted for the modern cook by Chef Larry Edwards, these dishes are as inspiring as they are easy to make.
