Been to daughters for Sunday dinner today. She's a good cook like you. When you get older hour kids can cook for you. Grandson 7 months and he had a Sunday dinner today. Gran kids are great. A real blessing. x
Danny says that to me when the boys are grown they will be round with their own little family's what a blessing that will be!!... more people to love :) xx
Hi Helen, what a treat, thank you so much for sharing how you cook your Sunday roast. I traditionally do lamb for my roast, but I'm going to give the beef a go in the slow cooker for sure, it all looked absolutely delicious. Thanks again Helen, and I hope you have a lovely week xx
I was so tired then I saw the notification of your video then I started saying YAY !! 😁😍 this is what I want now I really enjoy your cooking videos hun xx and cooking in a hot weather is unbearable I hate it 😩 you're a great mother and wife bless you
I can’t believe I’ve only just found your channel!!! Thank you so so much, you have no idea how much help you’re giving people ! definitely had to subscribe and keep up with future videos 🙏❤️❤️
Hey thank you but hey litsten oh do I shout I ask/tell my boys once nicely twice firmly reminding them I already spoke to em nicely if I get to the 3rd time I'm shouting like a banshee hahaha an they look at me like what?!... like they didn't get enough warnings eh? 😂 Xx
All looks so yummy! You yorkshires are amazballs! Cook the cauliflower and broccoli stalks they have loads of flavour and try some powdered Coleman’s mustard in your cheese sauce it’s lovely and makes it seem more cheesy 😘
I did this today!! after 39 years I've funky learnt how to cook decent roast beef Lol!! Thank u so much...it was lush, 4 decent sized portions of beef for just over £5 from Aldi xx Hope your having a fab time in Butlins x
Hahaha Katie I love that you can get the cheapest cuts and it still tastes amazing when even I cook beef in the oven it's as tough as a old boot lol thank you we had a wonderful time at butlins :) xx
I could watch you all day love your videos....have made a few of your recipes now,will definitely make my meat in the slow cooker and because you make things look so easy I now make my own cheese sauce thanks Helen you are lovely 👍
That looks wonderful! When its super hot out, I put the roast and potatoes, carrots and onions in the crock pot, Ive never had Yorkshire pudding before. This american cook is learning a few things from you for sure
Hey Robert thank you I don't tend to put my potatoes in the slow cooker as they don't go crispsy but I should will keep the kitchen so much cooler oh you should try my Yorkshire pudding recipe dunked in gravy they are the best :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_cyw80WyPQg.html
Hey Hun thank you... Seriously beef in the slowcook is the best you won't regret it also you can use cheaper cuts of meats by cooking it this way I don't always do cauliflower cheese that does take a good chunk of the time :) xx
HelenMarieWright Yeah! I've done a few of your recipes favs are Korean beef curry my partner loves that! potato curry and lasagne I struggled on how to layer it before now i get it perfect because of your tutorial thank you for helping a young mum out!x
Cooking my beef this way right now...only difference is I seasoned with salt & pepper and seared the meat first before putting it in. Chopped up an onion and added it to the gravy too! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
What a wonderful dinner! I love seeing all the wholesome meals you make your family. I hope they appreciate it! Do you cook this big meal every Sunday?
Hey Christal as the weather warms up we do have a few more BBQs instead of our Sunday roast also it depends what veggies I have in I dont always do a cauliflower cheese but my boys love it when I do... if you watch my week of family meals videos you'll get the jist of how we eat from week to week :)
So good to see food simple food cooked from scratch. Yes it takes time and is labour intensive but the results speak for themselves. Good for you. Apart from the gravy granules, not a packet to be seen.
I`m a new subscriber ,you were recommended to me ,and this was the first video to pop up.I have to say your roast looked yummy ,and ,wow!!Those yorkshires (Funnily enough they are the one thing i can make pretty well...cakes like pancakes ,but good yorkshire puds:)..Off to watch some more now.Thanks for the ideas for the slow cooker tips!!Trying to vary some recipies here.(.especially when doing some for my mum).It`s also nice to see children eat veggies!!
Hey Joy welcome Hun yea I'm one of them horrible old fashioned mums haha well I don't force my kids to eat their veg but they don't nothing after dinner if they don't so they are just used to it :)
Hi Helen would You ever use the slow cooker function on your instant pot I? I just got one and gave my slow cooker to my Mum thinking the IP would do both 🤔
Your meals look so lovely! I do my roast potatoes in the instant pot for 4 mins and then throw them in the oven. They come out super crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle without much more hassle!
Hey Julie for a special occasion (like Christmas) I'll part boil my spuds before roasting but as for a typical Sunday I don't make the extra effort Hun :)
I'm a single guy 51 it's 23.20 on a friday night with a few beers at home, and i'm watching a proper mum cook some lush food. Keep up the great work spesh them yellow stickers jaunts:)
Helen, I just love your cooker! is it new?? Your Sunday roast dinner looks fabulous!! I do learn some great tips and new ideas for meals. I am ''across the pond'' :)
Mmm yummy, this has encouraged me to start doing a Sunday roast ,now I know it can be done in a slow cooker ,I will be buying a slow cooker for sure now ,I am a new subcriber to your channel BTW 😊
I love your videos. My problem is timing. But I think with the help of this video, I might be able to do better. I'm going to give it a go. You done a fab job !
Hey thank Hun yes that's why I chop it all together an just get stuff ready to go on other wise one thing would be burnt before the next thing is even ready to go in oven lol :)
Scottish Mum My mil was a school cook so timings were her expertise. She jotted down a time scale for me when I impulsively announced I was going to cook Xmas dinner for all the family!!! I had just got married and still have it some where. So that's my advice write down the meal your having and try to stick to the timings it will soon become automatic. Like Helen does clear your workspace, prep ahead, clean and clear as you go. it's what all professional chefs and cooks do. Hope everyone is having a great bank holiday if you have the time off work of course:)
Just a tip I've found I thought I'd share :) when part boiling the roast potatoes give them a shake in the drainer when they're done boiling and then add them back to the original pan and add a couple spoon fulls of flour, put the lid on and then just shake them backwards and forwards ect to coat them evenly. Then bake them in some hot olive oil/goose fat or whatever you usually use. They come out lovely xx
Hey Mrs Smith Yea im sure I said in the video I do part boil them on a special occasions like Christmas but for my normal Sunday roast I don’t bother with the extra effort lol 😂 also what’s even more tasty than flour is tossing the potatoes in stuffing mix that tasted so good but again that extra effort is saved for a special occasions thank you for watching and taking the time to comment to me :) xx
Yeah I just meant when you do part boil them that's a tip to try :) Not tried the stuffing mix before might have to try that some time :) cooking a roast now that's why I came across your video lol I usually watch your meals of the week grocery hauls ect but hadn't seen this one before xx
Never use olive oil other than in salads and drizzling over things. Olive oil produces carcinogens when heated (as in frying and roasting). It spoils its flavour too. I use rapeseed oil (which is grown and produced in the U.K.) or goose fat.
Hi Great tip with the beef! I see further down you said other cheaper cuts of beef can be done like you have done,what do you use and have found to be the nicest? Thanks
Hi Helen It has been quite hot in the uk phew I'm not good with hot weather. Like you I still like my Traditional Sunday roast even in high temperatures lol filling boys up especially my grown up ones Hollow legs eh! Mine work out and do lots of sport so need lots. Barbecues and such don't seem to fill them for long. I did my beef in the slow cooker this week as well to keep the kitchen cool it does make it delicious but it shreds and hard to carve. Cooler days I rub with oil whack mine in the oven 20mins for every 450g plus 20 take out of the oven cover and rest 20mins. It carves into slices easier when rested. I may fish out my halogen oven to cook the roast if it's keeps this hot. Great video I felt I was standing there in your kitchen with you. I would need jobs to do though as a can't stand idle lol
Hey Maddie we don't have a roast every Sunday in the summer but I still make a fair few lol the boys do love a BBQ I'm the same I can't bare to be idle I like to be busy :)
I’ve never seen a stove like that. I love how the door opened to the side for you to put things on the racks. What type of cheese do you use for your cheese sauce.
This can’t be news to you but that’s a lot of work! You had such a variety of veg and potatoes, then the puddings. I’m sort of glad you said you were getting hot because that is what puts me off in the kitchen. I usually do a pot roast in a dutch oven or, like you, in my slow cooker. Then I’ll throw in potatoes and assorted veggies. I’ve never made a huge meal like you do. I’d do it in a tag team with 2 or 3 people though. Looked delicious!
What a fantastic Sun roast! you certainly have that down to a science. got mouth watering Helen. Do you make roast even during the hot months or do you switch to something else? blessed be
Thank you it's all about timing eh lol we still have a few but yes more BBQs an salads it just gets to hot to cook such a big dinner in my small kitchen to blessing to you also :)
Hi : ) I'm going to definitely try the slow cooker method as I'm totally rubbish at roasting Beef. Always comes out underdone or like shoe leather. Another fab video, hope you had some Horseradish to go with it. Love the stuff! xx
Hey Katie thank you honestly once you make it it the slow cooker you won't go back lol you know I've never even tasted horseradish lol I must try it :) xx
HelenMarieWright Helen!!! horseradish is a must with beef, only a tiny bit though or it literally blows your head Off! My daughter Mia loves it...try it xxx
Hey I got it many years ago it was a ex display (because it was cheaper) from comet they went bust tho :( it's a electric double oven one side is a standard size oven the the over is just a long oven but honestly it's the best especially at Christmas I just wish it was a self cleaning one lol :)
Hey gurl! Was watching while i was eating lunch. Just curious, have you ever used Guinness in your braised beef? Its so yummy. Also one trick i use to wash veggies, if cut em, and put them in a plastic container/ tupperware with lid, add water and some vinegar and shake it about, then do 1-2 more rinses with plain water, I find that it uses less water and shaking it in a closed container seems to give them a proper washing. Works with fruit too. For smaller items like a bunch of herbs i have even just put them in a drinking glass, close the top with one hand and give it a good shake and rinse. Haha the things we do :) You are great company even if its just videos.
Hey Alison great tips thank you hun I do clean fruits with water an vinegar but not everything I probably should no I've never tried beef with Guinness Danny loves Guinness but I don't does it taste strongly like it? :)
How much gravy does your jug hold, I don't think my jug is as big as yours...how much gravy should I make up for 4 people? Love, love, love your Sunday roast dinners - yummy!
Hey Susie you know I've had the jug so long the measurements have worn off it's a pirex jug... I just googled its one litre.. I would use 4 table spoons an add hot water to the thickness you like but it depends how much gravy you like an you could always frezze it I've done that before because honestly those beef juices in that gravy makes it so tasty you could use it in a beef stew at a later date :)
You should save the leaves of the cauliflower and roast them off in the oven with some olive oil, paprika salt and pepper ! really delicious and no waste !
@@WrightAtHome could you show more of you slow cooker meals please, I have one too, I want to learn how to make more slow cooker recipes, cos I am physically disabled I find using my slow cooker easier to use, cos I can put a whole meall in there, and not have to worry about it, getting up and down struggling with hot saucepans.It's just one pot. I have cooked stews, and a whole chicken, plus I did a chilli con carni 8n it for the first time a couple of weeks ago, but I would like to learn more. Like how to cook a whole pork peace in it. Thankyou.
What's the obsession with washing your meat and veg? None of it is necessary especially the veg you had just peeled. I am 72 and healthy despite never doing all that. One thing I would do is keep all the good veggie stalks that you cut off and Chuck away and cook them together to make a vitamin rich veggie stock which I can use to make soup or even for the gravy next week.
Hi Helen : ) I’ve got a quick question on times for a larger piece of Beef cooked in the slow cooker. Your original slow cooker recipe using Aldi beef was what finally taught me how to do Roast beef as I’d always done it in the oven and it was awful, so thank you for this. However I bought a huge piece of beef for part of our Xmas lunch, it’s double the normal size you use, so what I’m actually asking is how long should I cook it for? Longer than the 5 1/2 hrs I normally do? Have you ever cooked a larger piece in your slow cooker?? Sorry for million questions xxx
Hey Katie Hun aww I love hearing feedback like this I know right bees tastes like a old leather boot in the oven haha I would up the time your better off cooking it earlier and then puting it on keep warm till your ready to eat it than the other way where it's not ready on time I'd up it to 7/8 hours you can always test it by puting a knife through it :) xx
Hey Kerry I have once and I didn't like it I think with roast beef it's best to cook it very slowly to get the tender fall apart beef that I lie but that could just be personal preference:)
Hey Kim great tip what don't help is a have a large cooling rack thingy under my chopping board you know the ones you use to put hot pans on to stop ya burning ya work tops just being lazy not moving it lol :)
Stuck my nose right in the air at you not part boiling your potatoes but they actually looked much better than mine and i always part boil without fail.
Wright At Home Yeah, to be fair it just adds to the washing up. Going to do exactly what you did and see what happens. Still got the feeling it won't come out as nice as yours though.
No need. Salt in the gravy granules and in the margarine & cheese. I never salt as it's in everything nowadays. Drives me bananas when people salt n pepper before tasting their food, it's just a habit.
Why the capitals? Why spread over two comments? A traditional English roast isn't cooked with seasoning but of course any recipe can be adapted to suit you! Here's a video link to my typical week of family meals I use seasoning a lot in the right meals they are suited to (in my opinion the taste of food is obviously a personal choice!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D-_lCelEL28.html
Hey Bunsy no with a Sunday roast I don't the type of dinner that it is a meat gravy and veg it's just got a classic taste salt and pepper are added by preference after the dinner is dished up I once went to a fancy pub they done a roast with a modern twist loads of herbs and spices it wasn't for my family it's just not what a British Sunday roast is to me guess it's personal preference:)

Now listen I like your cooking concept especially the way you prep and etc....but ummmm where the seasoning I'm not saying overlaod but you know maybe a sprinkle of sum but I have learned a lot by watching this video
Hey Tiffany I do season foods Hun but not my Sunday roast traditionally it's not a seasoned dinner but if I'm cooking Italian or Caribbean etc type food I'll definitely season them I even season my salads:)
