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!💗
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.
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. 💖🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🥰
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...
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! ❤️
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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
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.
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…..
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
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!
Thank you so much for sharing your great recipes. The fact that they come from historical family dinners is so wonderfully lovely. I am looking forward to many more.
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!
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👍
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 comment stating "life's to short and we need to make memories" made me subscribe. I'll never forget the Sunday dinners, I took for granted as a child, that my grandmother cooked. Everyone in our familly agrees that if my grandmother had no ingredients she still could make an amazing meal for the familly. Her roast recipes is what I strive to recreate as this is the only way I know how to say: "thank you for those memories, and Sunday dinners".
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 ♥️♥️
Oh boy! I can’t wait to do this! I’m more of a baker & are shy about cooking meats. But watching you really helps my confidence! I’ve made popovers. You didn’t seem keen on them. My family devours them! Butter & jam - oh yum!! But a friend does make “a Sunday dinner” for Christmas Day & she makes the Yorkshire pudding/popovers. Very similar-ish. But never knew you put gravy over them. (I’m not a gravy gal, so it doesn’t matter!) Thank you! I just stumbled upon you for the first time today.
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 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.
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. 😊🇺🇸❤
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.
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❤
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!!
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!
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. ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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❤
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 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.
You made me miss the days in the UK . I remember having meals like this with the generous families that adopted us as family when I was in the Air Force. Thank you!
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 ♥️
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!
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.
Thank you for your wonderful Sunday dinner story. Memories of your grandmother brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I both have memories of our mothers making Sunday dinner after church. Dinner was especially delicious when visiting my grandparents farm. They raised their own vegetables, and grandfather specialized in raising Hereford beef cattle. Thanks again!🥲👍👍
How wonderful this is. Your memories, enthusiasm and dedication to keeping a great tradition going are inspiring. I'm hungry and must eat but first, I'm subscribing.
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 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!
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 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!
Such a lovely video and what you say is so true. Life is to short to miss out on something that we all used to do. I remember fond memories of sitting down to a sunday roast and lets not forget Sunday teatime. Special times indeed.
Thank you. My grandmother (moms side) always cooked a Sunday dinner, whether it was a combination of leftovers or chicken and cornbread dressing. She’s no longer with us, but she inspired me to do something similar.
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.
My grandmother cooked Sunday dinner for an army. She never knew who might show up of a Sunday. We cousins played outside until the call came. Children ate first and got packed off to play outside on the grandparents' farm. The men ate next and then watched sports until it was time to do the afternoon farm chores. Those chores never stopped, even for Sundays, but my grandfather had the help of my strapping uncles so they could all get back to the TV. The women ate last, gossiping about the latest family and neighborhood scandals (tame by today's norms). Then it was clean up and time to feed the children supper. Then the men, then the women and cleanup. One time, times were lean. I was about 8 years old. There wasn't the usual plenty, but there was Sunday dinner. When the battalion of equally- impoverished relatives showed, my mother fretted there would not be enough for all. I watched my grandmother pray a blessing over the food, breaking a bit of bread with the prayer. I was interested, as the parable of loaves and fishes was well known to us. I swear to you, there was food left over and my relatives were taking packets of leftovers home. I'm not religious at all. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never have believed it. But my grandmother believed with her whole heart. She's been gone for 45 years now and there isn't a day goes by I don't miss her loving kindness, her warm and generous heart, and the deep love she had for us all.
Thank you very much for this video. Dad (hailed from Manchester, bless his soul) made Sunday Dinner just like this. The memories come flooding back. Once again, thank you!
Simply gorgeous, Chef! I made roast beef a few weeks ago for my family (so delicious!). I wish I had your recipe because I would have made the Yorkshire Pudding! Thank you! You're the best!
I'm moving in this New Year (I'm 65) to be close to my daughter her husband and my grand children. I LOVE the idea of at least once a week family sharing a meal together! NO tv and no phones,,, just how I remember it too! Thanks so much and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I'm making the Irish stew for me next week and the soda bread!
This is like what we have at Christmas in my family every year since I was a child.thanks for this! Makes me think of the good times and how blessed we sometimes forget we are.Greetings from America.
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 😊
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.
So good to see you again Darren! I do miss the proper Sunday dinners with my gran, she would start cooking early into the day and it was always a wonderful time with family and friends, no tv no distractions, the best. I really think I should re introduce that lost tradition to my own family, thanks for the video, lovely recipe as always!
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.
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!!! 😋
As luck would have it, my birthday falls on a Sunday this year, I’m going to treat myself to a Sunday Dinner for sure. Thank you for sharing the recipes, tips, and stories!
My grandma was from England and we still her Yorkshire pudding recipe. We love it and still talk about how good it is. We always had it with a beef roast and my mom made it with mashed potatoes and gravy. Yum! Growing up we had a big dinner but Sunday was a roasted chicken and Saturday my dad cooked hamburgers and French fries. There was always a roast beef sometime during the week. No TV in the kitchen back then and all five of us kids along with mom and dad sat around the table talking. Those are great memories. I came across your you tube video and just loved it. Now I can check out your other videos. Thanks for this great video.
I’m from Yorkshire. And we have them every Sunday. But, the best are with duck eggs, and dripping (mucky fat) instead of oil used in the Yorkshire pudding tins.
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!💗
Thanks Deborah, glad you enjoy them
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
Where can we get the seasonings ??in New zealand ??
Can the seasons be delivered to the UK ?

God bless you I know from experience this too shall pass everything will be ok for you
This is the most insane comment I’ve read on youtube
I hope they got that beef.
“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.
Reminds of my grandparents , Dad, cousins eating roast goat meat together in early , middle 80s as family... From Kenya East Africa uplands
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!

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.
Aww thank you.
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
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!
Brussel sprouts. I LOVE THEM. Raw or cooked, I LOVE THEM. Don't over cook and they are fab however you serve them. CELEBRATE THE SPROUT.
Raw?? 😮
I hope you know how much joy you are bringing to a world in need of it. Bless you my good man. Bless you.

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.
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…..
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
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
Thank you so much for sharing your great recipes. The fact that they come from historical family dinners is so wonderfully lovely. I am looking forward to many more.
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!
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!
Your story about your Gram was so touching. Thank you for sharing and giving me such a warm feeling inside.
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👍
Roasty potatoes are a staple in my house. I'll always be grateful to the brits for sharing their delicious cuisine!
Such a wonderful menu and, even better, guidance for appreciating family.
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.
Brought a tear to my eye...God I miss a good Sunday roast , and the people who made it so special for me.
Cheers
your comment stating "life's to short and we need to make memories" made me subscribe. I'll never forget the Sunday dinners, I took for granted as a child, that my grandmother cooked. Everyone in our familly agrees that if my grandmother had no ingredients she still could make an amazing meal for the familly. Her roast recipes is what I strive to recreate as this is the only way I know how to say: "thank you for those memories, and Sunday dinners".
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 ♥️♥️
Oh boy! I can’t wait to do this! I’m more of a baker & are shy about cooking meats. But watching you really helps my confidence!
I’ve made popovers. You didn’t seem keen on them. My family devours them! Butter & jam - oh yum!!
But a friend does make “a Sunday dinner” for Christmas Day & she makes the Yorkshire pudding/popovers. Very similar-ish. But never knew you put gravy over them. (I’m not a gravy gal, so it doesn’t matter!)
Thank you! I just stumbled upon you for the first time today.
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❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
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. 😊🇺🇸❤
You brought back so many memories of my dear Mum's Sunday dinnerr.
Thank you! Your yorkshires are perfection!
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.

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❤
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!!
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!
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.
❤❤❤
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.
This channel is pure gold and this man is a national treasure. I am so happy I found it. Please make more videos!
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.
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!
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 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.
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!!
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❤
Nothing better than making memories, breaking bread together. Lovely message, and wonderful cooking tips along the way!
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 .
Thanks Jane. If only she was still here.
You've been missed. Good to see you. Looks delicious.
My grandmother always used to make the gravy with a bit of the Yorkshire pudding mix in it as well and it always made the gravy next level 💯
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.
Having english parents and coming
From a cattle farm, roast beef , fresh
Garden vegetables and Yorkshire
Puddings on Sundays were my
Favourites.
You made me miss the days in the UK . I remember having meals like this with the generous families that adopted us as family when I was in the Air Force. Thank you!
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 ♥️
Looks delicious. I appreciate how you explained each step - it appears easier to prepare - for a proper delicious roast beef meal.
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!
Thank you chef for all these wonderful meals. We are fortunate to have you. And we love you so much
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.
Thank you for your wonderful Sunday dinner story. Memories of your grandmother brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I both have memories of our mothers making Sunday dinner after church. Dinner was especially delicious when visiting my grandparents farm. They raised their own vegetables, and grandfather specialized in raising Hereford beef cattle. Thanks again!🥲👍👍
How wonderful this is. Your memories, enthusiasm and dedication to keeping a great tradition going are inspiring. I'm hungry and must eat but first, I'm subscribing.
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 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!
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 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
Such a lovely video and what you say is so true. Life is to short to miss out on something that we all used to do. I remember fond memories of sitting down to a sunday roast and lets not forget Sunday teatime. Special times indeed.
Thank you. My grandmother (moms side) always cooked a Sunday dinner, whether it was a combination of leftovers or chicken and cornbread dressing. She’s no longer with us, but she inspired me to do something similar.
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.
My grandmother cooked Sunday dinner for an army. She never knew who might show up of a Sunday. We cousins played outside until the call came. Children ate first and got packed off to play outside on the grandparents' farm. The men ate next and then watched sports until it was time to do the afternoon farm chores. Those chores never stopped, even for Sundays, but my grandfather had the help of my strapping uncles so they could all get back to the TV. The women ate last, gossiping about the latest family and neighborhood scandals (tame by today's norms). Then it was clean up and time to feed the children supper. Then the men, then the women and cleanup. One time, times were lean. I was about 8 years old. There wasn't the usual plenty, but there was Sunday dinner. When the battalion of equally- impoverished relatives showed, my mother fretted there would not be enough for all. I watched my grandmother pray a blessing over the food, breaking a bit of bread with the prayer. I was interested, as the parable of loaves and fishes was well known to us. I swear to you, there was food left over and my relatives were taking packets of leftovers home. I'm not religious at all. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never have believed it. But my grandmother believed with her whole heart. She's been gone for 45 years now and there isn't a day goes by I don't miss her loving kindness, her warm and generous heart, and the deep love she had for us all.
Thank you very much for this video. Dad (hailed from Manchester, bless his soul) made Sunday Dinner just like this. The memories come flooding back. Once again, thank you!
Simply gorgeous, Chef! I made roast beef a few weeks ago for my family (so delicious!). I wish I had your recipe because I would have made the Yorkshire Pudding! Thank you! You're the best!
I'm moving in this New Year (I'm 65) to be close to my daughter her husband and my grand children. I LOVE the idea of at least once a week family sharing a meal together! NO tv and no phones,,, just how I remember it too! Thanks so much and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I'm making the Irish stew for me next week and the soda bread!
This really made me miss my Mum and those Sunday dinners. Thanks, Chef! ❤️
This is like what we have at Christmas in my family every year since I was a child.thanks for this! Makes me think of the good times and how blessed we sometimes forget we are.Greetings from America.
He lives in Texas. Been in the US for 20 years
@@Automedon2 ok just started watching his videos.thanks for info.
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 😊
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.
So good to see you again Darren! I do miss the proper Sunday dinners with my gran, she would start cooking early into the day and it was always a wonderful time with family and friends, no tv no distractions, the best. I really think I should re introduce that lost tradition to my own family, thanks for the video, lovely recipe as always!
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.
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!
What a dinner, thanks for the recipe! Eating together with the family is so important. The kids need it growing up. And good food is always good food!
As luck would have it, my birthday falls on a Sunday this year, I’m going to treat myself to a Sunday Dinner for sure. Thank you for sharing the recipes, tips, and stories!
My grandma was from England and we still her Yorkshire pudding recipe. We love it and still talk about how good it is. We always had it with a beef roast and my mom made it with mashed potatoes and gravy. Yum! Growing up we had a big dinner but Sunday was a roasted chicken and Saturday my dad cooked hamburgers and French fries. There was always a roast beef sometime during the week. No TV in the kitchen back then and all five of us kids along with mom and dad sat around the table talking. Those are great memories. I came across your you tube video and just loved it. Now I can check out your other videos. Thanks for this great video.
Your best video. My family and I enjoyed every moment and we learned a lot too. Thank you, Darren.
I’m from Yorkshire.
And we have them every Sunday.
But, the best are with duck eggs, and dripping (mucky fat) instead of oil used in the Yorkshire pudding tins.
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
