How To make James Beard's Mincemeat
4 lb Beef rump or brisket
4 lb Beef tongue
1 lb Beef suet
2 lb Seedless raisins
2 lb Sultana raisins
2 lb Currants
3/4 lb Citron peel, diced and
1/2 lb Orange peel, finely chopped
1/2 lb Lemon peel, finely chopped
1 lb Sugar
1 pt Strawberry preserves
1 pt Raspberry preserves
1 tb Salt
1 tb Cinnamon
2 ts Nutmeg
1 1/2 ts Mace
1 ts Allpice
3/4 ts Ground cloves
Sherry or cognac "Begin by assembling a goodly supply of Cognac, apple brandy, sherry, and if you can find it, boiled cider. If not, settle for more apple brandy or applejack and more Cognac. You can also use up any odd liquers or that bottle you were given last Crhistams and have kept hidden on a shelf. All these things will help to make your mincemeat better." Boil the rump and tongue seperately in salted water until tender. Let the rump cool until it can be handled, remove the excess fat, and chop coarsely or put through the coarse blad of a meat grinder. Let the tongue cool, remove the skin, and chop or grind coarsely. Chop the beef suet very finely and combine it in a crock with the meats. Add raisins, sultanas, currants, citron, peels and mix well. Add sugar and jams and salt. Mix spices together and mix into the mixture in the crock. Mix ingredients well with the hands and then cover the mixture with Sherry, Cognac, etc. -- enough to a make a rather loose mixture. Cover tightly and let rest for 2 weeks. Uncover and taste, and add more spirits if necessary. Let rest for another 2 weeks before using.
At this point, if you wish to store the mincemeat in smaller containers, transfer it to sterilized jars or crocks, add more liquor, and seal or cover them tightly. The mincemeat will keep more or less indefinitely in a cool place or in the refrigerator. When using for pies, Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tart apple to each 2 1/2 to 3 cups mincemeat, bake at 450 F. for 10 minutes, reduce heat to
350 F. and continue baking until crust is well browned.

The Queen's Christmas Pudding - Classic Holiday Dessert - Food Wishes
I didn’t grow up eating Christmas Pudding, but I do love the Great British Baking Show, and I’m huge fans of both Jamie Oliver, and Nigella Lawson, so after seeing them present versions of this impressive steamed fruitcake over the years, I decided to give it a go, and I was very, very happy with the results. So happy in fact, I deemed it “fit for a Queen.” Enjoy!

America's #1 Restaurant Is INDIAN! But Is It Authentic?
America's most outstanding restaurant is an Indian one! So is it authentic? Does it beat India? I flew from Mumbai to find out.
Chai Pani (चाय पानी) in Asheville, North Carolina, won the America’s Most Outstanding Restaurant title at the James Beard Foundation Awards. The James Beard awards are considered the Oscars of the food world in the US.
So let's see if Chai Pani lives up to the award. I'm going to analyse the price, quality, taste, and authenticity of Chai Pani's Indian food and tell you whether or not you should visit for yourself.
Queues at Chai Pani start at 10.30am on a Saturday. So arrive early! Find Chai Pani, Asheville, on Google Maps
It really feels like a turning point for how Indian cuisine and culture are perceived in the US as equal as any of the other cuisines that are celebrated like Eurocentric French and Italian American cuisine, Mr Meherwan Irani told The National.
