Baking Yorkshire Parkin and Bonfire Night Reads
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- It's Friday, so it's time for this week's 'Tea Reads' episode! In this video, I'm joined by my Mum (Donna), and we share our regular Friday routine of a teatime chat about books over tea and a sweet treat. In our 'Tea Reads' episodes, we'll be sharing great short reads that can be enjoyed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. In today's episode, we're baking Yorkshire Parkin, a type of gingerbread traditionally eaten around Bonfire Night. As we settle down to eat it by the kitchen fire, we share some appropriate reads for the 5th of November. Happy weekend everyone! Take care and keep safe.

ABOUT ME: I'm Miranda Mills, a freelance writer and photographer who recently moved from London to Yorkshire.
Tea Reads is fast becoming essential weekend viewing. What a delightful episode. I have often made gingerbread, but never made Parkin. Thank you for the lovely reads too x
Thank you so much, Penny! I definitely recommend giving Yorkshire Parkin a go 😊
I must say it is such a pleasure to see and listen to mum Donna... she is so elegant and her manners are exquisite!
She is indeed lovely 😊❤️📚
Love the tea series. It all seems warm, cozy and mouth watering 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you 😊📚🔥
Oh, I was so excited to see "The World of Thrush Green"! I was super lucky and able to get an old library copy of this book. I love Miss Read so much, especially the Thrush Green series. The Yorkshire Parkin looked yummy! I love gingerbread tasting desserts :D I love your skirt and your Mom's top - very pretty! I wish I had somewhere to wear my Grandma's brooch - it's such a treat to see you and your Mom wearing one! Thank you! *hugs!*
Thank you very much! We are such fans of Miss Read too, although I especially love the Fairacre series :) xxx
Love Donna's top 😃
Love you two girls ! Your chat is so comforting and engaging. Perfume and the seasons, such a spot on concept thankyou . Oh my goodness I'm a Miss Read fan being a teacher in the country myself. so many stories of community foibles is such a comfort read. Bonnie Night was a real important community date in our childhoods. The boys and men would bustle about for weeks making huge daunting mounds of wood tyres branches etc. The dads would light the bonnie at dusk the crackers and sky rockets would all explode and the boys would get up tp mischief! Baked potatoes and a barbecue were a feature for us. Miss it so very much. Thanks for the memories and the opportunity here in Oz to reconnect and reflect on our past. No Parkin here but the recipe is so close to our ANZAC { Australia and New Zealand Army Corps] biscuits we make with golden syrup and oats made and sent to our soldiers in the WW1 so we make these biscuits every April, our Autumn to remember their bravery and sacrifice. Thank you a delight as usual for this Anglophile! thinking of you all over there in our UK as we tentatively emerge from a pretty hard year ourselves.
Thank you for sharing your lovely memories! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊📚🔥
I'd love to know what the girls and women were doing too ....
Lovely Tea Reads...again! Not only is parkin from Yorkshire, so was Guido Fawkes. You can still see places associated with him there and some of his descendants-the Horton-Fawkes-live not too far away in the Yorkshire town of Otley. Have a happy, warm weekend.
Oh how interesting! Never realised he was from Yorkshire- thanks for the info 😊 xxx
@@MirandaMills The Yorkshire Society website has quite a bit of information about it. X
Thank you so much Miranda And Donna. Another delicious episode ❤️
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it, Anita! xxx
I love, love, love these mother and daughter chats! They make me so happy - as did the excerpts from the books you both read today. I have The Country Child by Alison Uttley and several Miss Read books, which I adore, but I must try one Woman's Year by Stella Currey.
Thank you so much! That’s lovely to hear 😊 The Country Child is a wonderful book. I really recommend One Woman’s Year; it’s a charming read xxx
Another lovely and cosy chat Miranda and Donna. I always learn something new with you :) Thank you so much! Stay safe 😘😘
Thank you so much Teresa! xxx
What a joy! Thank you both. I thought of that exact Miss Read passage. I remembered the part about the potatoes that Percy Hodge donates. It reminds me of Almanzo Wilder in Farmer Boy when he and his sister Alice eat baked potatoes by the field. Yorkshire Parkin sounds delicious. I love gingerbread.
Oh, and I forgot to write that I made quince butter this week and it turned out so well! Thank you for the idea.
You’re making me want to read Farmer Boy again! Lovely 😊📚🧡
That’s wonderful! So happy to hear that 😊
Another lovely tea reads. Haven’t heard of a Yorkshire Parkin before I’m keen to try it. I’m going to have to find some second hand Miss Read books. Love seeing these episodes. Become my weekly favourite Thing to do. Have a lovely start to your weekend!
Thank you so much, Yumi! The Miss Read books are so lovely! I think some are still in print as paperbacks, but the old hardbacks are definitely worth seeking out 😊📚🧡
Love this so much and it has become one of family favourites which we all sit together and enjoy at the same time. Thank you Donna and Miranda for doing this. Can't wait to see you both on another new video next Friday xx
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Jess! xxx
I love watching those videos cooking with your mom .. ♡
Thank you! So glad you enjoy them xxx
Thank you Miranda and Donna, another wonderful video. I so enjoyed them!
Yay! Thanks so much 😊
Hello Miranda and Donna, another wonderful Friday Tea Reads treat, so good they're addictive!! Hope you both have a wonderful week and thank you for all the beautiful photography over on your IG account too Miranda, Teresa 🧡🔥📚🥮💛
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Teresa! Enjoy your weekend too 😘
Dear Miranda, I would like to ask you and your mum to do together the book haul anly about cookbooks. That you can show us all your collection.I think many of us would like to see that. Please!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m sure I’ll be doing more cookbook videos at some point! Xxx
Thank you so much Miranda and Donna for bringing light in these dark times. I think books and food are an excellent way to make us feel more happy during this hard times. Cheers!
Thank you very much, Julia! Glad if we can provide a little comfort 😊📚🍰
That was wonderful Miranda! I really enjoy these Friday videos with you & Donna. I found the information & reading selections on Guy Fawkes day celebrations very interesting as that’s not a holiday celebrated here in Canada. The Yorkshire Parkin also looked delicious! I may have to try baking one! Thanks,
So glad you enjoyed it- thank you. Definitely recommend giving Yorkshire Parkin a go 😊
Love the cozy vibe -
you two are superstars!!!
Thank you very much 😃
Everything about this has me smiling. And hungry! I so appreciate this tea series. Thank you for another lovely one. Happy weekend to you both!
Thank you so much, Pamela! You too 😘
Lovely video, Miranda. Just the antidote to these anxious times. Loved hearing about your seasonal scents. I rarely wear perfume as people these days have so many sensitivities. Though maybe now that everyone is wearing masks and keeping 6 feet apart, I could get away with it again. Silver linings.
Thank you very much! Yes, I think now is definitely the time for wearing as much perfume as you want! xxx
Lovely episode, Miranda and Donna! It‘s always such a treat. ☕️📚
Thank you Marion! Xxx
Miranda, I am so excited to make Gingerbread...Yorkshire Parkin! Honestly, I have been having trouble
finding all of the ingredients here in the states, and had to resort to Amazon. Looks like all will be here
tomorrow, so I will promise to let you know the results. Thank you and Wish me luck!
Oh good luck!! Hope you enjoy it! Xxx
I just thought I’d stop by and say how much I am enjoying seeing these tea time chats a second time around, such a shame to watch your lovely videos once only.
Thank you for the kind words, Joy!
A lovely video as ever. My husband’s family came from Yorkshire and he has fond memories of Parkin. We went to Haworth a few years ago and tried some gingerbread which was very tasty.
Oh wonderful! I am so looking forward to getting to Haworth myself one day (hopefully soon) xxx
Bonfires in November! What a wonderful tradition. Love Donna's top, and your poppy pins. Parkin sounds delicious, thank you for the links, will have to try making it soon.
Thank you! Hope you have fun making it!
My friends ! It looks so delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing. Thank you for the good food.😍💙
Thank you so much! It’s really a very easy recipe 😊 xxx
Hi Miranda! Love your Friday tea and baking and book videos!! I have never had this treat but it looks delightful! I am playing catch-up on my favorite youtubers as it's been a crazy week here in the States with the election, we have been glued to CNN. So sorry to hear you are in lock down again, ugh! This darn virus! Stay safe and healthy dear friend!
Thank you Mamey! You take care too xxx
I love these videos 😍. One Women's Year was one of my favourite books I read during the first lockdown. It's such a lovely book to fall into and take a trip back in time.
Thank you so much Miranda, I really needed another Tea & Tattle episode, after a very Stressful week here in the US 🤦🏾♀️....You and Donna always make me feel like baking or getting cozy with a good book. After watching this video..I think 🤔 I want to read “Guy Fawkes, The Gunpowder Plot” by Maureen Appleton... One more thing Miranda, I finally finished my first Daphne Du Maurier book “Rebecca” it was great but was it supposed to end so abruptly...I got the kindle version, and I’m hoping they didn’t leave off the ending..🥰
Thank you very much! Glad we could provide a little moment of respite. Rebecca has a very sudden ending - the type that sends you back to reflect on the beginning. It gives you a jolt on the first read! Xxx
So enjoyable! Love Alison Uttley and Miss Read too! Have bought some treacle so will bake some Parkin. Haven't had it since I was a child! Time to bring it back each November! Just bought my first book from Hive today Miranda (Ghostland by Edward Parnell) - thanks for letting us know about them a bit ago 😀
Oh super! I definitely think Yorkshire Parkin deserves a comeback 😊 Glad you’re enjoying The Hive. You may also want to check out uk.bookshop.org which is similar and which I recently discovered- looks very good! Xxx
I so look forward to these videos, I’m a northerner living in the south, my family still live in the north and I’ve so missed spending time with my mum during the last few months, lockdowns and tiers have made it very difficult consequently, being invited into your home and sharing time with you and your mum has become such a treat. Excellent tip about the oil and the treacle and it was interesting to hear about your seasonal perfume choices, I too have my winter and summer scents. Great choice of reads, having listened to your mum I’m off to get my Miss Read off the bookshelf to curl up with this evening and if you ever do make the ale and nutmeg punch I’d loved to know what it’s like, sounded most interesting, if not a little unusual 🤣
I’m so glad these videos provide a bit of comfort! Enjoy your Miss Read. I am definitely intrigued by a drink called ‘Sheep’s Wool’ - have to try it sometime 😂 xxx
Another wonderful video with your mum, thank you for sharing (and is that a Barter Books bookmark I spy?!)
Thank you very much! And yes it is! Xxx
Ooh, this is perfect content for meee!! LOL this parkin stuff sounds delish! Fodder for moor-walking :D
It absolutely is! xxx
Just perfect!
Thank you so much!
Did someone say perfume? :D I would love a video about your favorite scents.. Maybe pairing them with the books you like to read them with? It would be fascinating to look at the links of which perfumes go with what kind of books.
I'll have a think about it!
Thank you Miranda and Donna, you really are a tonic during these dark times! I also change perfumes according to the season, wearing something lighter and more floral in the summer. It was lovely to hear the Miss Read extract - I’m also a big fan ❤️
Thank you so much! It is fun to have seasonal perfumes, isn’t it? We’re definitely big fans of Miss Read too 😊📚❤️
I do the same with perfumes. My favorite autumn perfume at the moment is Jo Malone’s fig and lotus flower. Lovely video as always. I’m from the US and I’ve been listening/watching your baking videos on repeat to get through everything that’s going on. Thank you!
So glad our videos have helped! I haven't tried that perfume; it sounds gorgeous! I must look out for it when we can go to the shops again. It sounds lovely xxx
Thank you for this wonderful video! I love parkin but have never tried baking it, will give it a go now. Betty's do a gorgeous one but only stock it in the two weeks leading up to bonfire night, which makes it rather special! I really enjoyed the readings too. Have a lovely weekend you two!
Thank you Georgia! I have to try the Betty's Parkin one year! Enjoy your weekend too 😘
