Each February on the first Sunday of the month, Brits come together to celebrate the one and only Sunday staple, the Yorkshire pudding. This Sunday 2nd February will be no different as Bread Street Kitchen is honouring the humble creation with savoury and mash-up creations based on the Sunday roast essential.
For those new to the notion of the Yorkshire Pudding, this traditionally English food is made from batter consisting of eggs, flour, and milk or water. It is often served with beef and gravy and is part of the traditional British Sunday roast. The first Yorkshire Pudding recipe dates back to 1866 and was created by a woman called Mrs Beeton as a ‘trick ‘to fill-up the family so less meat could be served.
Perfect for the cooler climes Dubai is currently experiencing, Chef Cesar’s Yorkshire pudding dishes on offer are comfort food at its finest, with offerings such as a fluffy Yorkshire pudding served with either roast beef, lamb or chicken, plus all the trimmings, or toad in the hole (sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter) with mash and onion gravy. Diners can also opt for a hearty steak and kidney stew – served inside a giant Yorkshire pudding with kale and mushroom sides – or a British take on a burrito with a rolled Yorkshire filled with roast beef, chicken or lamb.
A staple of the British Sunday lunch, this is the perfect opportunity for guests to sample a variety of renditions of this doughy delight.

- Yorkshire pudding is made from batter consisting of eggs, flour, and milk or water. It is usually served with beef and gravy and is part of the traditional British Sunday roast.
- When wheat flour became common for making cakes and puddings, cooks in the north of England used the fat that dropped into the dripping pan to cook a batter pudding while the meat roasted.
- The traditional way to eat Yorkshire Pudding was as a separate course before the meal which was a cost-effective trick to fill-up the family so less meat could be served.
