Actually, dinner guests would never see the cook in an estate that size unless the mistress invited her to the dining room for some special praise. Even then, it would be highly unusual and improper for the guests to be exposed to the kitchen staff.
Ms Crocombe is an intimidating women. She is the time that would never yell or make a scene but would quietly and effectively destroy you. I love the little snide comments she makes.
@@nathancarlson7878 Being "In Service" was not slavery. There were tiers of servitude - classes, if you must. The young man that brought the apples was the Third Gardener and he wore a tie. He would have had a decent wage and housing on the grounds, probably a private room and a scullery maid to clean his chamber pot. In the house, Mrs. Crocombe was the boss of the kitchen, probably a step higher than the Head Gardener since she was in the manor, and she was allowed to be married - that was quite a thing. Mrs. Crocombe is not rich - the people she served were. Her cool demeanor was meant to keep the classes in place and let them know that with power came privilege.
Mrs. Crocombe does not approve of unannounced dinner guests. Considering how labor intensive cooking was at the time, however, I really can't blame her.
Anyone who serves as a cook, even if it's just cooking for your own family, knows how aggravating it is to have unannounced guests just showing up for dinner. You have to start preparing more dishes--as quickly as possible--when that happens. Not to mention that sometimes we just don't have enough ingredients to make more. This happened to me on occasions, and I DO NOT appreciate it.
Not just time and labor intensive but also there was a limited ability to store leftovers, so it wouldn’t have been economical to habitually make more on the chance there might be more diners.
To delivery boy: "We need all the apples to be the same size." To us: "The apples need to stew down until they're like a marmalade." Conclusion: She likes messing with the delivery boy.
I love hearing different dialects. Her dialect is really nice. She's the reason I learned this certain way of speaking. I only knew the RP and Cockney dialects before watching her videos. Now I know 3 British dialects.
She really is. Mrs Crocombe is such a no nonsense character, but in such a charming way. I do wonder how close she gets to what Mrs Crocombe was like in reality?
"A pleasure as always, my lord, my lady. I hope you don't mind, I brought along a couple of my close acquainta--" **Mrs Crocombe giving him the death stare from the kitchen** "ahhh... _ahem_ Ah, look at the time, we'll be on our way"
It's probably Mary Anne, I don't think I've ever seen another kitchen maid. She's definitely the one Mrs. Crocombe mentions the most.....Come to think of it, the kitchen is always surprisingly empty.

Just realized the recipe that required the similar sized apples she was referring to in the beginning were for the apple dumplings that was just posted today, almost a year later. Makes one wonder how far in advance they think of these videos 🤔
I simply love Mrs. Crocombe's actor, I feel she legitimately plays the part of a royal chef. She cracks me up with her mannerisms and way of being. I thoroughly enjoy this series
It seems to be a thickened applesauce "jello" dessert. I can remember my mother making homemade applesauce, it was not allowed to thicken like this. The applesauce was great for you if you were ill, as it was easy on a sore throat or delicate stomach. It was also an excellent topper for gingerbread.
I myself live in Russia, but I adore watching these videos, I love your language, it’s pronunciation. I hope that one day I will come to UK to see all this beauty by myself. Have a good day whoever is reading this ✌️
Gosh, this is the most wholesome community I've EVER seen!!! Thank you Mrs. Crocomne for bringing us together. ^_^ Also, I LOVE the lad's face when she says "Gâteau de Pommes", he's like "Gate-ga-what?", and then his reaction when she says she needs all the apples the same size and he's like "Oh no... not again..." XD
This recipe is so versatile that when I burned it, it tasted good- almost like burnt Carmel. It’s like a jam and it goes great on the side of vanilla bean ice cream. Keep posting! Thank you!
It's interesting the way the shape of the Gateau de Pomme and the colors of the decorations on it complimented the form of the manor and the hue of the sunset before the end credits rolled in.
Lovely ! that's really funny because Gâteau de pommes in France is like an apple cake basically, and in english it's "apple cheese" meaning "fromage" in french like Cheddar, Stilton, Brie etc 😂 how languages can be fun ^^
@@justineprime1891 Yeah, the way it's cooked and looks is like something between a compote and a gelée (jelly). Though funnily enough, we do have a meat-based dish called "fromage de tête" (head cheese) that also has a sort of jelly-like texture sooooo... It'd be better to check history books at that point haha that'd be interesting!
En fait, "Fromage" ça s'applique parfois à d'autres trucs que du fromage à base de lait en fait... Du fromage de tête par exemple c'est une charcuterie à base de viande prélevée dans la tête de l'animal donc... Mais là, c'est tout bêtement une recette de pâte de fruit mais dans un moule à gâteau ^^
I have found this channel during lockdown and am utterly thrilled. This explains A LOT of my grandmothers' recipes, and why I love a crisp tart apple with cheddar!
Just made this. Its wonderful, not just to look at, but to taste as well. I added a bit of gelatin to it because I was afraid it wasnt gelling enough but in hindsight that probably wasnt necessary because mine it ended up being even a little firmer than I intended (though i didnt find that to be a problem in any way). I decorated it with almonds (I feel mrs crocombe would not approve of anything less) and candied mint leaves and juliened lemon zest, both of which i made by brushing them lightly with egg white and then tossing with sugar, letting them air dry afterwards for several hours. They turned out delicious and nice and crunchy, not to mention a beautiful garnish. By far the hardest part was getting it out of the mold. i recommend a thin metal one rather than a ceramic one as shown in the video; easier to dunk in hot water to free the edges from the mold. Also required much wiggling and a little bit of manipulating with a finger to break the suction. If you dont have a vintage jelly mold, i suspect one could also put this in a simple saucepan, the result would be a far simpler shape but would, i suspect, have just the same impressive quality.

You cooking videos are the best opportunity to learn and enhance English language! So clear speech with clearly-pronounced syllables, without any mistakes. Really cool, thank you for you work, Mrs. Crocombe!
I always want these videos to be longer. I just love them and can’t get enough. I wish you had an entires Downtown Abbey cast of people describing Victorian ways of life. It’s all just so magical.
I always interpreted Gâteau de Pommes as a flat cake made with layered apple slices poured over with cake batter! Victorian dessert cooking is very very different from what I'm used to so this is a very interesting learning experience!
Gateau refers generally to all cakes. In the past Gateaux has been used to call Flans, now a Gateaux would be used to refer to something like a Black Forrest, however cake is cake in any form and this is still technically a cake.
Your videos give me joy. And I love Mrs Crocombe's stern attitude. She seems like exactly the kind of strict, honest woman who would have run a stately home efficiently and with an iron rod. I bet all the other staff feared her wrath but loved her at the same time.
I bet those extra 4 guests were turned to stone with that STARE.
Or received an accidental spill of laudanum in their coffee...
Actually, dinner guests would never see the cook in an estate that size unless the mistress invited her to the dining room for some special praise. Even then, it would be highly unusual and improper for the guests to be exposed to the kitchen staff.

Apple butter :)

You cooking videos are the best opportunity to learn and enhance English language! So clear speech with clearly-pronounced syllables, without any mistakes. Really cool, thank you for you work, Mrs. Crocombe!
I always want these videos to be longer. I just love them and can’t get enough. I wish you had an entires Downtown Abbey cast of people describing Victorian ways of life. It’s all just so magical.
Love Mrs Crocombe as always! But I also love Edgar. He is so adorable!!
I love everything that's going on in every video! So satisfying!
My friends: measure food in cups
Me...an *intellectual:* measures food in teacups
I have never made anything in any of these videos, but I have watched every single one instead of studying for things.
More of Mrs Crocombe please!!!!
I like the way it's decorated. The mint flowers are a particularly nice touch.
I can watch this video over and over and still love it every time
I always interpreted Gâteau de Pommes as a flat cake made with layered apple slices poured over with cake batter! Victorian dessert cooking is very very different from what I'm used to so this is a very interesting learning experience!
Gateau refers generally to all cakes. In the past Gateaux has been used to call Flans, now a Gateaux would be used to refer to something like a Black Forrest, however cake is cake in any form and this is still technically a cake.
R Smith oh I never said that it wasn’t!! I just said I’ve never heard of “gateau” used this way before
Later that day she let Mary-Anne gob in the marmalade ice as a revenge for the 4 extra unannounced guests
what is gob
That presentation is simply marvelous!
Your videos give me joy. And I love Mrs Crocombe's stern attitude. She seems like exactly the kind of strict, honest woman who would have run a stately home efficiently and with an iron rod. I bet all the other staff feared her wrath but loved her at the same time.
It’s great watching the preparation and presentation however, it would be fitting to see how the dishes of the era was served for each dish made.
Me: YAY!……oh.
I love Edgar's expression when he try to compute what is "Gâteau de Pommes". Brilliant actors, both him and Mrs. Crocombe
I love this English Heritage... beautiful! Wish I could be there ... I prepare the apples very good! 😊
Greetings from Germany
I could watch Mrs. Croscombe for hours
