I ordered my Atora Beef Suet. You’ve been an inspiration to me wanting to bring back the forgotten recipes that fed the last generation of true grit people.
Love your accent although I haven’t a clue where in England. Sadly these recipes will die out, perhaps I’m wrong. I was born in 1973 and growing up my mother always told how rewarding it was to produce a hot meal from ingredients that don’t cost the earth. She taught me to cook which has absolutely benefited me in my adult hood. I searched suet pie and stumbled upon your site, Traditional English cooking that tastes absolutely delicious. I’m originally from Norfolk and was spoilt with ingredients using pheasant and partridge I’m fed watching chefs that andypandy around throwing pepper/ god knows what over your shoulder. I’m now able to google/youtube your recipes & understand amounts etc to use. Thank u x
Thank you for sharing. There are full ingredient lists in the description - you have to scroll down. Hope you try and enjoy some of the recipes. I'm a home cook now and I believe, like you there is a huge benefit for everyone to be able to cook. I do try to make the meals as simple as possible. Best, Rik
I’ve been in Australia for about 64 years and I remember my Mum making suet for steak and kidney and other things and my Dad got high cholesterol and heart disease so there went the suet pastry, no more steak and kidney and no more dumplings with our stew. She did make pastry another way and dumplings too but thought I’d tell you why we stopped using suet. I thought you hadn’t steam suet but that must have just been the way my Mum used it. All I know is I miss suet pastry and suet dumplings. I’ve never cooked with it but I’ll try and get some here in Australia. It used to be in the supermarkets all the time but not any more, only if they get a delivery of British food in the supermarket. OMG!!! Now I have a craving for suet pastry, it was always my favourite although I got used to making pastry with margarine and dumplings with margarine too, oh yeah and mushy peas. Where I used to live if you buy a pie I’d always get them to lift the lid up and put mushy peas under the lid but where I live now they look at you stupid if you ask for a pie with peas, the only thing they put with a pie here is crappy tomato sauce which I really loathe. TFS this video. I know I’m subscribed properly but I’ve never once had a notification of any videos from you, well except for today, I didn’t even remember subscribing to you, so it must have been a while ago. Look forward to more videos from you now.
We can’t get suet in South Africa either. The only substitute is Holsum…a vegetable fat. My mom also made steak and kidney pie and pudding using the Holsum. Since I never tasted suet pastry, hers always tasted good to me. Unfortunately, I’m not good at pastry but I keep trying.
Hi Rik thought I'd just let you know that I have prepared the meat and vegetables and the pastry is cooling in the fridge. I live in a very rural UK Norfolk hamlet and 3 of my neighbours have just passed my back door and asked what I am cooking as the smells coming from my back door are amazing!! So I've told them and shown them the channel and what im doing. They are amazed that something so simple can smell so delicious !!! I will send them a picture of the finished product later when it's cooked together and offer them some, so hopefully they will join your channel!! We are all about good home cooking here and this is going down a treat!!!
Rik you want to know what happened!! Well they absolutely loved it!! There's only about 8 houses around here and there's a lot of interest in this!! Suet pastry they say """ so full of calories " but once they tried it they really got into it!! So tasty and fulfilled I'm hearing!!! Goodon you!!! It tastes delicious 😋
I have a deep appreciation and fascination for the traditional ways of cooking. Usually nothing fancy but just simply delicious. There are just some things that are meant to be. Pie crusts ( here in America anyway ) made with lard as my mother always did, and your Yorkshire puddings cooked with suet in the tins as it has been done for ever. The proof is in the flavor and consistency. I agree with you on cooking onions with the meat, as I do it all the time. The exception is if I am caramelizing my onions first. Just like with mushrooms, you can't brown or caramelize them as long as there is any water present. I just realized that I'm telling a chef something found on day one of a cooking 101 class, ha ha ha. Sorry mate ! No insult intended. But maybe a new cook reading this will learn something they didn't already know. I know that I'm always excited when I learn a new thing about cooking that I didn't know. Cheers my friend !! -- den
The original pot pie! Meat pies are still around they've just changed a little so they can mass produce them. My home made pot pie isn't the best, yet. Not giving up I'll just keep trying. Ever try the Bisquick version? It's really fast and not half bad. Nice video, Thanks Rik!
7:30 sunday morning stomach rumbling watching Ric poke suet pastry/beef mince in his face?"come on now!"im compelled to make that now😂from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧
Hi Rik My mum makes a steamed bacon & onion pudding, like a steak & kidney one with suet pastry. It’s absolutely delicious and a proper winter warmer😊 BTW, Atora is nearly £3 a box here now😳 Thank you for sharing👍🏻
Hi Rik , Grew up on this , mam Always had atora in cupboard . It tasted exactly as i remembered, what a great recipe. Many thanks . How about old skool spam fritters p.s. about time for your cook book lol redcar steve
Part of the reason we don't make these things like this anymore in Canada is because suet, which was common in my youth is almost impossible to find now.
I just love the down to earth and no nonsense cooking, just perfect.
Thank you. Best, Rik

My pleasure. I'm just making spam actually. So that is doable. Thank you. Best, Rik
love suet pastry, what can I use instead of suet if I can't buy it here in Spain
A splash of malt vinegar on the mushy peas and gravy over the pie 👍
Yes, please. Best, Rik
I buy ATORA all the time but ive never seen it like that before. I would have thrown that away thinking it had gone off.
That's what happens when its 38 degrees. Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
Part of the reason we don't make these things like this anymore in Canada is because suet, which was common in my youth is almost impossible to find now.
Yes, it's lost its favour, which is a real shame. Best, Rik
I think it needs a bit more gravy , looks a bit dry. But suet pastry is lovely , and I agree can’t understand why it’s not used much anymore .
Yes to everything, but not sweetcorn, that's disgusting stuff.... Who's hungry now?🍽️
No measurements
full ingredient list
You are right, it looks ugly, not one of your best recipes
It's good old-fashioned comfort food where they only used pasty for the top - saving on pastry, I reckon. Best, Rik
