Thank you Darren for a tantalizing recipe! My daughter bought a set of your seasonings as a gift for me and they are amazing! Thank you for your wonderful products and recipes!💗
I can really relate to what your saying about Sunday dinners growing up My mother had a rule. You must be home for Sunday night dinner with family. My grandma would come she often made roast beef Yorkshire puddings. And she always swore by what you said about leaving the Yorkshire milk eggs out at room temperature It was a fool prof way Sometimes we had a roast pork and veggies I now have many fond memories of family around the dining room table during fall and winter months enjoying a lovely mreal and laughs at the time I was a teenager and didn’t appreciate it as I would today. Grandma s seat at the table empty now My fatter as well. And I glad I have those memories. I love hearing about your memories of Dianna. William and Harry. Too stay well Lisa Toronto Toronto Canada
Darren is literally the only person who at the start of a video could cook a roast and by the end of it making you want to reconnect with your relatives and meet up with them to make some memories because life is so precious. TH-cam doesn't deserve such a gentle soul. Thanks for another amazing video Chef! Here's to another 200k subscribers!
Beef....It's what's for dinner!!! And, so delicious too. That Proper Sunday Dinner looks absolutely delicious. My mouth was watering just looking at that dinner on your plate! My kind of good eats!!!
Bravo, Chef! I've always wanted to make a better Sunday roast, & am happy to now have a professional Yorkshire pudding recipe, demonstrated by you to top it all off!💗
Sorry to hear of your loss, my mum just passed at 96, she loved the burned bits too. I hope your nan meets my mum in heaven, I think they would be good buddies.
This gentleman is not only teaching you how to cook, he's teaching you how to do life! I absolutely loved this video. One of the best instructional videos of any kind ever. Thank you.
I made Sunday dinner the day before I went to see a dying patient, who I found out was British, and we got to reminisce together about Sunday Roast Dinners 😀 it was a beautiful memory to share with her before she departed...
I was born in 1960 in Paterson New Jersey, and my father was born in Southampton England. He and my grandmother when I was a child used to make this very same dinner. The Yorkshire pudding wasn’t in muffin tins but in a big flat pan. But everything else is done in this video is pretty much the same thing as I remember seeing as a child. This video is fantastic and it just warmed my heart to see something like this. Oddly enough I remembered when the pudding was cold we would have it as a dessert the next day or even the day after and we used Lyles golden syrup which if I remember correctly my grandmother used to call treacle or something like that. Again thank you very much for this video it was fantastic to see because unfortunately my parents are all gone. If I had the opportunity now that I’m 60 years old I would make this dinner for them. Peace and love to all of you. 💖🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🥰
Your gran still cooking roast dinners -We really don’t realize how much the older people in our families really love us -We then get so busy in our own lives that we don’t make time for them -Then as we get older ourselves we then understand how much we was loved by grans ,grandads ,mums and dads ..Then it’s to late 😩…Love the vids .
I remember my mom making a proper Sunday dinner every few weeks. Her vegetable of choice was green beans which she "drenched" prior to cooking. Since she has passed I don't remember the last time I've had a proper Sunday dinner primarily since I like alone. I'll have to come up with something and just have leftovers for 2 or 3 days!
We're currently "homeless" (living in a small camper) but we still manage, when we can, to have Sunday dinner! We use our KYVOL Air Fryer and usually do a roast chicken. I think, though, when we are finally blessed with a real kitchen in a real home, our first Sunday dinner will be roast beef! Those Yorkshire puddings look amazing and can't wait to try them! ❤️
Oh thank you Darren !! I have a prime rib for tomorrow. I’ve already made my Yorkshire pudding batter. It’s in the fridge overnight. I’ll now warm it. You’ve shown me a different way of making gravy : I’ll make a rue tomorrow. Thank you ! Can’t wait for my proper Sunday dinner. And .. you’re right. It’s just my spouse and myself now. We’ve bother been widowed / widowered and we enjoy our proper Sunday dinners together !!!!! ❤❤❤
Dear Darren, your comments about taking one evening a week to be sociable with family and friends over a delicious traditional meal, with no TV or phones or technology, remind me of our traditional Jewish observance of Shabbat. It's so delightful to be reminded that all of our human cultures, all over the world, have so much in common. And I can't wait to try your Yorkshire Pudding recipe!
Chef Darren you got me with the story of Gram…..😢😢😢… they were special people, I appreciate so much your stories and homage to our ancestry…… I wish I could give you a proper hug…..
That was lovely Darren. Tell me, when did the preference for bloody roast beef come. I'm a 73 year old kiwi farmers daughter. Meat was home killed, hung to cool for days and then cooked until it was really well done. We kids argued over the bark, the piece you gave the Queen. Veges came from dad's huge vege garden, and puddings were a great way of using up the two home cow's milk. Fruit from the orchard was also abundant. What wonderful days, no electricity, water from the roof and the river. So many memories. My children have grown up semi-rural, they all live close by and we used to always have Sunday Roast. But there's 20 of us now so we bbq everything. Not the same.
Thanks I haven't had roast beef and yorkshire pud for over 20years. Mum was a Sunday roast lady too. My daughter and her wife and my grandson are coming for dinner tonight so I'm having a roast. Thanks for reminding me how yummy this is. We will have Beef, roast potatoes, parsnip, kumera, honey carrots and peas. And of course yorkshire pudding. They are bringing dessert. I live in a retirement village and we make a point of eating together once a week. One week at my place the other at theirs. I love it.
As an Aussie, i love roast dinners. We always have roast onions ( so sweet and yummy) and roast pumpkin with the green veges being peas or beans, Yorkshire Pudding we do in one pan. So delicious. 😊😊
I love the story you shared about your nan's Sunday roast chicken. My nana used to make the best and years later when I went over to my mother for Sunday dinner; I commented that the roast chicken was just like nana used to make. She came over and hugged and thanked me for the comment. It's not only that food tastes great but it is also the wonderful memories it also invokes. Thanks for posting this delicious beef dinner.
Darren you are one of my favorite celebs, this brought back memories of my mums sunday roast back home in Australia. Like you I moved to the beautiful state of Texas and live a couple of hours away. Thankyou so much for keeping her majesty alive in our hearts!
Canadian here. With the exception of the English language, I think Britain's greatest contribution to the world is the Sunday roast dinner. Your story about your nan nearly brought a tear to my eye, as my experience is the same as yours. My gran's family was from Lincolnshire, and every single Sunday in my childhood we went to her house for the same meal: roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato, roast potato, peas, carrots and green beans. I'm nearly 50 now and I still carry on this tradition every Sunday. Thanks for the sprouts recipe, I look forward to trying this.
I terribly miss the sunday family dinners of my childhood. Everybody was still alive, my life was whole. Once in a while I cook the same dishes my grandmother loved to prepare, and their smell works like an instantaneous time machine, bringing me back to those times. It's a bittersweet feeling.
Great video! The comment on the Queen liking more well done roast beef reflects, I think the time period she was raised. My Dad was a bit older than her and ALWAYS wanted beef and lamb well done. It was more the thing then. Not "cremated" but on point, so to speak. Oh, and of course, well cooked pork! You were concerned about germs and perhaps rightly so. Farms just didn't have the resources to keep parasites and certain viruses out of the system as today. A thorough cooking was what farm families liked.
I’m a graduate of the university of London, and this looks so much better than any Sunday roast I ever had there. That roast beef was always cooked well done with Brussels sprouts that were equally as tasteless and gray. Yours is a Sunday roast that I could enjoy seven days a week!
Hello Darren, I loved your video of a proper Sunday Dinner Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding and roasted potatoes and gravy. Most significantly is how you express the importance of keeping the tradition of Proper Sunday Dinner with family and close friends. Special Memories, Wonderful! That was also very much a tradition in my family. I cherish the memories of my parents and Sunday Dinner together. Thank you. God Bless.
Turn off the TV!!!!!! Best advice in this century! Let's talk to each other.....I'm 64 now and I remember how life was at this pace....we could assimilate our conversations, the news casts...movies were more of an occasion and books and newspapers were considered treasures and necessary for the well informed sophisticated person ... Love you Darren and your talents...my deepest thanks❤
The Queen was so lucky to have this delightful chef with his delicious meals buzzing around the royal kitchens. That Sunday lunch is to die for! Yummy!
Hello Darren, I am glad I have rediscovered English cooking at its best. Back in the old days in Rochdale, my wife and I used to drive up to the White House restaurant overlooking the moors, just a few miles before Baitings, and we loved having delicious hot roast beef and Yorkshire puddings there. We now live in America, but have a mind to go back for old times sake and meet old friends again. Thank you for the recipes. ❤❤❤
No, Darren, thank YOU for making these videos. You deserve the 200,000+ subs! What a treat it is to watch you cook so many mouth watering dishes, and hear the stories behind them🤗💞👍
I like the thickness of your cutting board. That is wha I use. What kind of wood is yours? Thank you for all you share with us, they are all so full of special memories
So true the Sunday roast in winter, the smells the steamed up windows. What an amazing time that we thought would never end, but now they are memories of a time of family.
Your timing is impeccable! Your food always seems to come out perfectly browned, baked or medium rare. May I humbly ask if you could add a few close up shots of the food, before and after plating? The aesthetics would be an amazing treat! Thank you for making cooking fun and interesting!
Darren, I grew up with Sunday suppers here in the US. A tradition my wife and I still have even though our kids are grown up and gone. I agree, a lovely time to stash the phones, talk and enjoy a good meal. Thank you for a wonderful video. PS..a rib roast is my favorite too👍
UMMMMM! My wife and I are hungry! Thanks for imparting your cooking knowledge so we may have a super Sunday, or any day, dinner. The roast beef is first!
finally some new video... was missing you, hope everything was good with you Darren. Keep going. Honestly I watch more because of the stories and history lessons you are giving. Makes it really fun for me. Thank you for it.
Little people realize…English people are fantastic cooks and a Sunday roast dinner like this one would knock the socks off any guest. I like peas but adore brussel sprouts in a light butter sauce too!
Oh, that meat came out just perfectly cooked ! Love the description of those left over puddings . And you're so right about ending up with only those wonderful memories and missing our relatives. I'm 74 and all mine are gone and I sometimes want to call or visit and realize I can't. Spend tons of time with them, it'll never be enough .
Always remember my Grandmas Sunday lunches and a big slab of Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy to start before Grandad carved the beef for the main course. Happy times
As an American who adores everything British this was absolutely fabulous! It looks so simple to make! Thank you Chef Darren for a fantastic presentation! Much love from Dairyland USA, Wisconsin❤
What a fabulous video, and such a wholesome message. Make the time for your loved ones. Make the meals that will bring them back for more memories. God bless you, and god bless your loved ones.
I lived in Oxford England from 1985 to 1988 - wonderful time in my life. I love the UK, the (proper) food in England is wonderful. The people were always warm. It was a great time in my life and watching your channel just brings it all back to me. Thank you!!
This video made me happy. My grandmother was born in Sheffield, England in 1903 and moved to America with her widowed mother in 1914. She taught my mom how to make a proper roast with Yorkshire pudding (although my dad always playfully chided my mom because her puddings didn’t rise like Nana’s 😁). My mom roasted potatoes and carrots just like in this video. Wonderful meal.
My gran was born Sheffield three years before, when she cooked roast beef the gravy was made using stewing beef and other stuff was so good on the Yorkshires which was had first
I used to do my prime rib this way, now I prefer the reverse sear method. Less shrinkage, more even color throughout. But it's just preference and we skip potatoes altogether in lieu of yorkshire which prime rib just screams for! 😋 My wife uses the muffin pan as well. I reheat both on pan the next day at 400 Deg for 5-8 minutes for leftovers. No gravy on the meat for me just horseradish, smother the yorkshire though! Making me hungry!
Love a roast dinner looks amazing Darren my gran and grandad made a lovely Sunday dinner fond memories 😊🇬🇧 we had Yorkshire pudding that was left with jam I did some with jam and a little cream as a indulgent treat love your videos Darren all the best Michelle 😊
Roast beast, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire Pud have been a household staple in our house on Sundays for as long as I can remember. (60 years. British heritage. What can I say?) My Grandma, on my mother's side, was from Yorkshire!). My dear Mum has now passed, but I cook the meal often in the fall and winter for my 99-year-old father.
My mom is from London so I've had my fair share of English cooking. Without a doubt Steak and Kidney pie is my ultimate favorite dish but a phenomenal Sunday roast is a close second especially when yorkshire pudding is involved. I don't have your cookbook yet but I will soon. Thank you, sir for sharing your gift and your recipes with us. ♥️
@@Hollcall Try a steak and kidney pudding... suet pastry.... the best, but they do take ages to make from scratch... Frey Bentos do a good S&K Pud in a tin.
Ive watched quite a few of your videos... you sir are a culinary genius and your dishes are ones that anyone can make. sunday roast beef was always a favorite with me in my youth. cooking for her royal highness would be the highlight of my career. sir i hope you were knighted for your service to her majesty, if not you should have been. thank you so much for your videos and your enthusiasm, cooking is a pure joy in life.
Bless your Grannies heart ❤️ she sounds like a wonderful lady. We always need our family no matter how old we get. Thank you for sharing your favorite memories and your tantalizing recipes ♥️♥️
Darren you are such a blessing to us all. I genuinely enjoy your stories and recipes. Thank YOU for all that you do, may God bless you and your family. Much love❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't discover I liked brussels sprouts until I was about 45 years old. The way you make them, Chef, looks like the way I will eat them from now on. They look delicious! Thank you for this video. The dinner makes my mouth water as I sit here drinking my morning coffee.
Growing up my Grandma Ogilvie would always do a Sunday Roast and the smell still is in my memory and something that I dearly miss, sitting with the family around the table enjoying an amazing Roast together. Thank You Darren for posting this video and helping in bringing back my memories of my families Sunday Roast Dinners. So glad to see you back posting, had me worried there.
@@Darren_McGrady I always feel sad & sorry for people who were not brought up with Sunday dinners. We have allowed society to creep into our lives far too much.
Hi Darren, You are so right on your comment making memories! I too can remember my granny & mother making wonderful Sunday lunches when I was growing up, I continue to cook for when my family, ( grown up children, with their families ) come to lunch, these are oh so special times…..thank you for the good advice. No phones at the table is one of my best tips too. Wishing you a very merry Christmas xx
I just made my first ever Sunday roast, following your recipe, and it turned out AMAZING!!!! I couldn’t believe how fluffy and delicious the Yorkshire pudding turned out! You’re the best!!!! Thank you! 🥰
I never before saw the technique of heating up the oil in the muffin tin and then adding the batter, and then back into the oven. But I'm American. The result was spectacular.
I'm so happy that this video was uploaded! I was actually wondering over the last week if you were no longer uploading videos to your channel and was wondering if maybe your catering business and books were taking up too much time for the videos. I am now craving a good roast and Yorkshire pud. I can almost smell it!!! 😋
I found Darren today, on here, every video is like a ray of sunshine and his stories capture the imagination. This roast beef has given me dinner ideas for tonight!
I just discovered you today. I live in America for past 20 years but while ago I visited my boyfriend 's family in England. We had Sunday dinner. The best meal I've ever had. I generally I love British food. Cheers from Maryland.
Yes, you can reheat any spare Yorkshires, though they're tasty cold, too. A microwave will doughify them unless the warming is really brief - an air fryer or warm oven will retain the texture. Darren likes syrup, I go with raspberry jam. In England, many pubs make wide dish-shaped puds, and serve them filled with onion gravy and a savoury filling, often 'mince' (US = 'ground beef'), alongside veggies.
You are amazing! So are your videos. I remember Sunday dinners with my Grandparents; roast chicken, yeast rolls, green beans with ham, all the fixings. such sweet memories.
I just finished eating this delicious meal with my family and it was a HIT! I did sub the ribeye for a slightly less expensive cut but it turned out just great. The potatoes were so creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside, better than any I have ever made before. The Yorkshire puddings were SO good, I've never tried them and I'm so glad I did. I got festive and made some traditional English baked beans, which I'm not sure if that's normally eaten with this but they were good. I cherished all the meals with my family growing up and I'm keeping that alive with my own family. THANK YOU so much Darren for the wonderful recipes!
I am making this meal tomorrow as our Thanksgiving dinner. I am using an American Wayagu roast for the meat. I've made Yorkshire pudding before and have watched several cooks prepare both the roast and pudding BUT your presentation is the most entertaining and informing of them all. I worked in restaurants for over 30 years and found that line of work my most enjoyable. I now have lived 78 years and still going strong. Your videos are lighthearted, funny and are teaching me new things about the art of cooking. Thank you sir. Clint Perkins Spring, Texas.
Thank u Darren for a delectable recipe! I especially liked your instructions on how to make Yorkshire pudding. As an American, I thought it was like a typical creamy pudding of which I am not a fan. But the Yorkshire looks delicious! I can't wait to try this recipe. My mouth was watering as u were cooking. You have such a lovely manner, I so enjoy listening and learning from you. You are absolutely right, eating together without tv's and cell phones , make warm, loving memories. In this day and age , loving. Memories are so important. Thank you Darren for this marvelous video. 😊🇺🇸❤
What a simply beautiful vid! My heart was wrenching toward the end when you mentioned everyone coming round open house enjoying the food it’s such a warm sentiment thank you for this Darren ♥️
Oh my goodness, South African and this is what my granny and mother has made for us for as long as I can remember and I’m 42 now. What fond memories, and I feel quite inspired to make this for my friends now. Thank you
I wish I had the vocabulary to describe my love for your videos. All I can say is that you are an absolute gent, and a great role model for anyone in the industry - and life. Keep it up my friend.
Chef Darren, you are a treasure! Your choice of recipes to detail are truly amazing. I can almost taste those roast potatoes and beef tenderloin! Keep doing what you’re doing, Your food is exceptional!
I just love this! Being half English, I grew having Sunday dinners. Yorkshire puds are fabulous. I used to watch my gran making this (often in a big baking dish). Roast potatoes are a favourite too. This episode is like walking down memory lane for me. Thank you!
I did this same spread one weekend here in Virginia Beach, VA. From the Brussel Sprout with bacon, Yorkshire pudding, rib roast and potatoes. It was a hit. Even my 8 year old love the experience. It was truly magical. Love it. More power to you.
Thank you Darren for a tantalizing recipe! My daughter bought a set of your seasonings as a gift for me and they are amazing! Thank you for your wonderful products and recipes!💗

Just what my mom, a American WAC did every Sunday for my father, a British Sailor. It was lovely.
My nan just died half a year ago and this video made me cry a lot. Enjoy your beloved ones while you still can.

Having english parents and coming
From a cattle farm, roast beef , fresh
Garden vegetables and Yorkshire
Puddings on Sundays were my
Favourites.
Reminds of my grandparents , Dad, cousins eating roast goat meat together in early , middle 80s as family... From Kenya East Africa uplands
That was lovely Darren. Tell me, when did the preference for bloody roast beef come. I'm a 73 year old kiwi farmers daughter.

Your beautiful soul shows through 💫🕊️🌹
i love the origin of the sunday roast. the fact that we still do this today
I always use the drippings from the beef as the oil for the yorkshire pudding.
Yeah perfect,,
So did my mother. I was wondering why that wasn't suggested.
Quite right too and beef dripping for the roasties and the Yorkshire pudding tins. If you're going to do it, do it properly.
As well you should: that's the classic way to make it
I save the beef and pork juices for dripping toast...yummmm
Love you Darren!!! Thank you!!!!

Good for you. I do too - at 8 decades & usually alone. I take pictures to make them all jealous that their sports are more important than family.
“I know we all wished we had gone around for one more proper Sunday dinner…”
Indeed Chef. We all do. We all wish we could go. Just once more.
I terribly miss the sunday family dinners of my childhood. Everybody was still alive, my life was whole. Once in a while I cook the same dishes my grandmother loved to prepare, and their smell works like an instantaneous time machine, bringing me back to those times. It's a bittersweet feeling.

I bet you could use broccoli instead of brussels sprouts. I am going to try that today.
You were at the wrong pub
Next time try THE GAMEBIRD, the BEST one I’ve ever had, and it’s just walking distance from Buckingham Palace!
Aweeee I wanted to see the meal up close! 😮
Hello Darren,

Love you Darren and your talents...my deepest thanks❤
The Queen was so lucky to have this delightful chef with his delicious meals buzzing around the royal kitchens. That Sunday lunch is to die for! Yummy!
Hello Darren, I am glad I have rediscovered English cooking at its best. Back in the old days in Rochdale, my wife and I used to drive up to the White House restaurant overlooking the moors, just a few miles before Baitings, and we loved having delicious hot roast beef and Yorkshire puddings there. We now live in America, but have a mind to go back for old times sake and meet old friends again. Thank you for the recipes.
❤❤❤
Propper old school, thank you and all the best to you and yours. PS Yes family is priceless
Chef, I wish I were there with you. I laughed with you and cried when you spoke of your Nan. Cannot wait for you next show! xo
No, Darren, thank YOU for making these videos. You deserve the 200,000+ subs! What a treat it is to watch you cook so many mouth watering dishes, and hear the stories behind them🤗💞👍
I like the thickness of your cutting board. That is wha I use. What kind of wood is yours? Thank you for all you share with us, they are all so full of special memories
So true the Sunday roast in winter, the smells the steamed up windows. What an amazing time that we thought would never end, but now they are memories of a time of family.
Finally another cooking video. I missed these.
Your timing is impeccable! Your food always seems to come out perfectly browned, baked or medium rare. May I humbly ask if you could add a few close up shots of the food, before and after plating? The aesthetics would be an amazing treat! Thank you for making cooking fun and interesting!
@@soutterly2259 I don't think you meant This as a reply
Wait for it, the family advice at the end, is just as yummy as the food.
Darren, I grew up with Sunday suppers here in the US. A tradition my wife and I still have even though our kids are grown up and gone. I agree, a lovely time to stash the phones, talk and enjoy a good meal. Thank you for a wonderful video. PS..a rib roast is my favorite too👍
UMMMMM! My wife and I are hungry! Thanks for imparting your cooking knowledge so we may have a super Sunday, or any day, dinner. The roast beef is first!
finally some new video... was missing you, hope everything was good with you Darren. Keep going. Honestly I watch more because of the stories and history lessons you are giving. Makes it really fun for me. Thank you for it.
Little people realize…English people are fantastic cooks and a Sunday roast dinner like this one would knock the socks off any guest. I like peas but adore brussel sprouts in a light butter sauce too!
Oh, that meat came out just perfectly cooked ! Love the description of those left over puddings . And you're so right about ending up with only those wonderful memories and missing our relatives. I'm 74 and all mine are gone and I sometimes want to call or visit and realize I can't. Spend tons of time with them, it'll never be enough .
Always remember my Grandmas Sunday lunches and a big slab of Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy to start before Grandad carved the beef for the main course. Happy times
I hope you know how much joy you are bringing to a world in need of it. Bless you my good man. Bless you.
GREAT BROADCAST, EVERY TIME.
I COOK, I EAT.
THE SECOND GREAT THING IS THE
HISTORY YOU PROVIDE.
I HOPE I CAN WATCH MANY MORE YEARS.
As an American who adores everything British this was absolutely fabulous! It looks so simple to make! Thank you Chef Darren for a fantastic presentation! Much love from Dairyland USA, Wisconsin❤
"No TV, turn off the TV"...❤ Love it. Thank you for this recipe.
What a fabulous video, and such a wholesome message. Make the time for your loved ones. Make the meals that will bring them back for more memories. God bless you, and god bless your loved ones.
I lived in Oxford England from 1985 to 1988 - wonderful time in my life. I love the UK, the (proper) food in England is wonderful. The people were always warm. It was a great time in my life and watching your channel just brings it all back to me. Thank you!!
This video made me happy. My grandmother was born in Sheffield, England in 1903 and moved to America with her widowed mother in 1914. She taught my mom how to make a proper roast with Yorkshire pudding (although my dad always playfully chided my mom because her puddings didn’t rise like Nana’s 😁). My mom roasted potatoes and carrots just like in this video. Wonderful meal.
My gran was born Sheffield three years before, when she cooked roast beef the gravy was made using stewing beef and other stuff was so good on the Yorkshires which was had first
All he said and showed are great 👍
Such a wonderful menu and, even better, guidance for appreciating family.
Your story about your Gram was so touching. Thank you for sharing and giving me such a warm feeling inside.
I used to do my prime rib this way, now I prefer the reverse sear method. Less shrinkage, more even color throughout. But it's just preference and we skip potatoes altogether in lieu of yorkshire which prime rib just screams for! 😋 My wife uses the muffin pan as well. I reheat both on pan the next day at 400 Deg for 5-8 minutes for leftovers. No gravy on the meat for me just horseradish, smother the yorkshire though!
Making me hungry!
Thank you Darren! What a wonderful chef you are! You are the best! ❤️
Love a roast dinner looks amazing Darren my gran and grandad made a lovely Sunday dinner fond memories 😊🇬🇧 we had Yorkshire pudding that was left with jam I did some with jam and a little cream as a indulgent treat love your videos Darren all the best Michelle 😊
Dear Chef, The passion of your Skills and Cuisine is a reflection of "The Master's Touch" Thank you! Thomas from across the Pond.
You've been missed. Good to see you. Looks delicious.
Roast beast, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire Pud have been a household staple in our house on Sundays for as long as I can remember. (60 years. British heritage. What can I say?) My Grandma, on my mother's side, was from Yorkshire!). My dear Mum has now passed, but I cook the meal often in the fall and winter for my 99-year-old father.
My mom is from London so I've had my fair share of English cooking. Without a doubt Steak and Kidney pie is my ultimate favorite dish but a phenomenal Sunday roast is a close second especially when yorkshire pudding is involved. I don't have your cookbook yet but I will soon. Thank you, sir for sharing your gift and your recipes with us. ♥️
mine too..................thinking about S&K makes my mouth water. hahahahaha
@@Hollcall Try a steak and kidney pudding... suet pastry.... the best, but they do take ages to make from scratch...
Frey Bentos do a good S&K Pud in a tin.
Ive watched quite a few of your videos... you sir are a culinary genius and your dishes are ones that anyone can make. sunday roast beef was always a favorite with me in my youth. cooking for her royal highness would be the highlight of my career. sir i hope you were knighted for your service to her majesty, if not you should have been. thank you so much for your videos and your enthusiasm, cooking is a pure joy in life.
Bless your Grannies heart ❤️ she sounds like a wonderful lady. We always need our family no matter how old we get. Thank you for sharing your favorite memories and your tantalizing recipes ♥️♥️
I love Brussels sprouts ,just cook them and than bake them with a good amount of butter an onions .Delicious .
Darren you are such a blessing to us all. I genuinely enjoy your stories and recipes. Thank YOU for all that you do, may God bless you and your family. Much love❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn't discover I liked brussels sprouts until I was about 45 years old. The way you make them, Chef, looks like the way I will eat them from now on. They look delicious! Thank you for this video. The dinner makes my mouth water as I sit here drinking my morning coffee.
Growing up my Grandma Ogilvie would always do a Sunday Roast and the smell still is in my memory and something that I dearly miss, sitting with the family around the table enjoying an amazing Roast together. Thank You Darren for posting this video and helping in bringing back my memories of my families Sunday Roast Dinners. So glad to see you back posting, had me worried there.
Golden memories James
@@Darren_McGrady I always feel sad & sorry for people who were not brought up with Sunday dinners. We have allowed society to creep into our lives far too much.
Hi Darren, You are so right on your comment making memories! I too can remember my granny & mother making wonderful Sunday lunches when I was growing up, I continue to cook for when my family, ( grown up children, with their families ) come to lunch, these are oh so special times…..thank you for the good advice. No phones at the table is one of my best tips too. Wishing you a very merry Christmas xx
I just made my first ever Sunday roast, following your recipe, and it turned out AMAZING!!!! I couldn’t believe how fluffy and delicious the Yorkshire pudding turned out! You’re the best!!!! Thank you! 🥰
LOVE THIS!
I never before saw the technique of heating up the oil in the muffin tin and then adding the batter, and then back into the oven. But I'm American. The result was spectacular.
Amazing video! A lesson for cooking and for living. Thank you!! Following you from Brazil.
I'm so happy that this video was uploaded! I was actually wondering over the last week if you were no longer uploading videos to your channel and was wondering if maybe your catering business and books were taking up too much time for the videos. I am now craving a good roast and Yorkshire pud. I can almost smell it!!! 😋
Aww, thank you Stephanie. More to come!
I found Darren today, on here, every video is like a ray of sunshine and his stories capture the imagination. This roast beef has given me dinner ideas for tonight!
I just discovered you today. I live in America for past 20 years but while ago I visited my boyfriend 's family in England. We had Sunday dinner. The best meal I've ever had. I generally I love British food. Cheers from Maryland.
Yes, you can reheat any spare Yorkshires, though they're tasty cold, too. A microwave will doughify them unless the warming is really brief - an air fryer or warm oven will retain the texture. Darren likes syrup, I go with raspberry jam. In England, many pubs make wide dish-shaped puds, and serve them filled with onion gravy and a savoury filling, often 'mince' (US = 'ground beef'), alongside veggies.
You are amazing! So are your videos. I remember Sunday dinners with my Grandparents; roast chicken, yeast rolls, green beans with ham, all the fixings. such sweet memories.
You brought back so many memories of my dear Mum's Sunday dinnerr.
Thank you! Your yorkshires are perfection!
I love brussel sprouts, however I like the way you cooked yours. I enjoyed watching this !
I just finished eating this delicious meal with my family and it was a HIT! I did sub the ribeye for a slightly less expensive cut but it turned out just great. The potatoes were so creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside, better than any I have ever made before. The Yorkshire puddings were SO good, I've never tried them and I'm so glad I did. I got festive and made some traditional English baked beans, which I'm not sure if that's normally eaten with this but they were good. I cherished all the meals with my family growing up and I'm keeping that alive with my own family. THANK YOU so much Darren for the wonderful recipes!
Bless you x no you would never ever have baked beans with a roast dinner 😊but never mind eh 😂x
I am making this meal tomorrow as our Thanksgiving dinner. I am using an American Wayagu roast for the meat. I've made Yorkshire pudding before and have watched several cooks prepare both the roast and pudding BUT your presentation is the most entertaining and informing of them all. I worked in restaurants for over 30 years and found that line of work my most enjoyable. I now have lived 78 years and still going strong. Your videos are lighthearted, funny and are teaching me new things about the art of cooking. Thank you sir.

Oh my goodness! So beautiful! The roast is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing! Happiest of New Years to you and your loved ones!!
Thank u Darren for a delectable recipe! I especially liked your instructions on how to make Yorkshire pudding. As an American, I thought it was like a typical creamy pudding of which I am not a fan. But the Yorkshire looks delicious! I can't wait to try this recipe. My mouth was watering as u were cooking. You have such a lovely manner, I so enjoy listening and learning from you. You are absolutely right, eating together without tv's and cell phones , make warm, loving memories. In this day and age , loving. Memories are so important. Thank you Darren for this marvelous video. 😊🇺🇸❤
What a simply beautiful vid! My heart was wrenching toward the end when you mentioned everyone coming round open house enjoying the food it’s such a warm sentiment thank you for this Darren ♥️
Oh my goodness, South African and this is what my granny and mother has made for us for as long as I can remember and I’m 42 now.
What fond memories, and I feel quite inspired to make this for my friends now.
Thank you
The ultimate dinner.
Awesome... I have always wanted to bake a Yorkshire pudding... thank you for the proper content
Brought a tear to my eye...God I miss a good Sunday roast , and the people who made it so special for me.
Cheers
Roasty potatoes are a staple in my house. I'll always be grateful to the brits for sharing their delicious cuisine!
I wish I had the vocabulary to describe my love for your videos. All I can say is that you are an absolute gent, and a great role model for anyone in the industry - and life. Keep it up my friend.
Chef Darren, you are a treasure! Your choice of recipes to detail are truly amazing. I can almost taste those roast potatoes and beef tenderloin!
Keep doing what you’re doing, Your food is exceptional!
I have always wanted the secret to roast potatoes!! This video was wonderful!🤗
Your memories of Sunday lunches are so close to me.
I make a point of having a proper lunch with loved ones at least once a week.
I just love this! Being half English, I grew having Sunday dinners. Yorkshire puds are fabulous. I used to watch my gran making this (often in a big baking dish). Roast potatoes are a favourite too. This episode is like walking down memory lane for me. Thank you!
I did this same spread one weekend here in Virginia Beach, VA. From the Brussel Sprout with bacon, Yorkshire pudding, rib roast and potatoes. It was a hit. Even my 8 year old love the experience. It was truly magical. Love it. More power to you.
