I trust you will find this index helpful in your search for the perfect Downton dish to serve to fellow Downton fans for tea or cocktails. Recipes by meal are listed and I have also provide links to my online guides.
SPOILER ALERT: if you haven’t seen all episodes, you may wish to quickly scroll down to the bottom to collect the recipe.
My book Abbey Cooks Entertains contains many of these recipes and more, a total of 220. I still share little stories with each dish, but get right down to business. There is a whole section on holiday entertaining and stocking your larder. Take a peak inside.

Hi,
I’am a French Canadian and I would love to have your book, but do you think it’s possible to have one in French?
It may be some time before I would find the energy to translate the book, but an interesting idea. There are Downton fans all over the world.
The cookbook might be critical for my collection!

Thank you so Much for posting these recipes.. I will really enjoy making them..
My grandmother had an old, silverfish ridden copy of Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management. No doubt, Mr. Carson had a copy of that lying around. I could spend a couple of hours pouring over that. Brawn was not mother’s favorite dinner though, I need a strong stomach to prepare that. Where does one find a calf’s head?
