Really looking forward to this! (Also, this year I am doing proper Christmas decorations for the first time in a while so I'm getting right into the Christmas spirit!!)
@@Grackle oh please try to do @home sometime! I’m in the USA & love that show... You can just film eating the meals & rating each other-it would be fun 😃
We so love the sunglasses clip! My kids had to rewatch that a couple of times to make sure everyone got a good look at it. Now I am on the search for some (very fun!).😃
I LOVE dinner parties toooo! I live in a house with 3 other girls and next week we're doing a dinner party!! We all have a part of the world and can choose a country that's within that. We all have a course and we're not telling each other which country we have. Also we're not only going to cook, but also decorate and stuff and i'm soooo excited!
that sounds so fun !! after covid when i have roomates i def want to do this. you should do a video on it or even a tik tok bc thatd be so fun to watch !
I kinda wish I knew how was life in the 80s! This would have been so much fun. btw if you’re interested, I have channel with vlogs from London, Greece and Italy. Feel free to check it out ❤️🙌🏻
Hahaha I didn’t enjoy it as much until I started working here I. London to be honest. 😂 btw if you’re interested, I have channel with vlogs from London, Greece and Italy. Feel free to check it out ❤️🙌🏻
Girl I work my mental state into the ground daily because of uni and when I see your video is up, I'm just happy and stress free (at least during the video, the stress returns soon after lol)
M&S have a collection of recipes on their facebook using their ‘Colin The Caterpillar’ range... I would wholeheartedly recommend the colin trifle! GAME CHANGER
@@elizabethpeters423 Colin was sliced into layers to act as the sponge, then it was topped with chocolate custard, whipped cream, white chocolate ganache and more cream... Colins feet’s and big face were the decorations on top (along with a few smaller colin faces too) it was DIVINE!!
😂😂 my dad for example still listens to music from the 80s. btw if you’re interested, I have channel with vlogs from London, Greece and Italy. Feel free to check it out ❤️🙌🏻
our Trifle: jam sponge roll on the base and sides of the dish, layers: mixed tin fruit (drained), jelly, custard. Liquid soak: juice from the fruit, sherry - pour down the side of the dish to soak the jam sponge before layering the filling. topped with vanilla whipped cream and crushed roasted almonds. delicious.
We still make trifle every Christmas using my nan's recipe from the 80s. We always use swiss roll (just jam in the filling, no cream) soaked in (a lot of) sherry specifically from Bristol, fruit cocktail from a tin, custard, cream, with glace cherries and hundreds and thousands on top. So for our family, we would never dream of putting jelly in - so interesting how different families have such set ideas of what's traditional!
I have not seen my family for nearly a year as my family is in France and we can't travel there just now! And your vlogs are always welcome because it's like i am still sharing some family time in a way.
My mum always made the most delicious trifle for after Christmas dinner, and now I make it. This year I will teach my kids (20 + 16) how to make it 😊 Just add a little more milk to your custard and keep whisking, pass it through a sieve to extract any lumps and you're golden! Trust me, slightly overcooked custard has a caramelized taste that is delicious, but if that's not what you're going for, then yeh, start over lol Also, repeat your layers before topping with cream. Ok that's enough from me, I'm done! Okokok I lied, just HAVE to say, I absolutely LOVE the outfit! 80s fashion needs to make a comeback!
You can put Baked Alaska into an oven if you don't have a blow torch. Yes, with ice-cream inside. I did that in the early '80s when I was a teenager and it came out perfect every time.
I really love Grace, she is the most wholesome , fun, gorgeous person and her channel is my absolute favorite of all RU-vid. I reaaally relate to her, I thought I liked really weird things (like hosting dinner parties) but then I saw her doing all these things I love and wanted to try and felt so sooo good about it. She's even encouraged me to go to uni to become a pastry chef, so thank you thank you thank youuu Grack xxz
I CAN'T, I really can't wait for VLOGMAS. Girl we need you to get trough lockdown. Also my suggestions is please don't edit tooo much. 45 Minute Vlogmas would be great so we get the full Grackle experience. Thanks ❤️
Same!! I really hope she starts soon😍😍 btw if you’re interested, I have channel with vlogs from London, Greece and Italy. Feel free to check it out ❤️🙌🏻
Trifle should have a jelly layer, Delia did you dirty there! My mum always did mushroom vol au vents at parties when I was a child in the 80s, my sister once went all out and did prawn cocktail vol au vents, she impressed everyone with those!
Grace! I love this series too and learning about food! you NEEEED to watch supersizers go.. here on youtube. Its a british doc with Sue Perkins and Giles, and they go back in time and eat in the style of the era! I really hope you see this!
OOO! Another idea for Ms. Grackle - Only eating salads for a day/week, etc. Any kind of "salad" - potato salad, shrimp salad, steak salad, etc. The possibilities are nearly endless, though there would probably be a ton of cold food! Also, eating only dips for snacks or just in general for a period of time.
Grace please do a Q&A with your parents 🙏 I'd love to find out how they got together, they're couple goals 😍 and the relationship you have with them is amazing, such a lovely family. Peace and love to all of you 🌟
I was born in 82 I remember trifles well...it was ladies fingers and jelly, custard then angel topping with sprinkles....adults would have Sherry and strawberries in theirs.....grace what was that? Lol 😂
We never had a culinary blowtorch growing up. Nor did any other late 60's/early 70's moms we knew. They just popped the Baked Alaska into a preheated broiler for a few seconds and watched it like a hawk while it browned. Same way I make it still for my family when nostalgia hits.
80s child here - I was especially interested by this! Sherry trifle was on our Christmas dinner table when I was growing up; my sister and I used to fight over which of us got to soak the sponge in the sherry before Mum made it. The thing about trifle, as author Myrtle Allen once wrote, is that every man's grandmother made the trifle of his life, and every one made it differently, so you will never get a consensus on the 'right' ingredients or method.
Whenever I feel really bad anxiety coming up; a lot of the times I will just turn to watching Grace her lovely care free videos and they really take my mind off of things! Love her content 🥰
If you want to go older recipes English heritage has a cook book: how to cook the Victorian way with mrs crocombe. It also has a lot of background on they set up meals and how the households were run
Angel Delight was a big trend in the 80s and Vienetta ice cream was a treat. The 80s was great to grow up in. Happy memories for me. I remember me and my best friend having a row on the school playground one day over who was Michael Jackson’s biggest fan out of the two of us. We’re 42 and still laugh about that. P.S. it was sooooo me! 🤣
Can't wait for the next one...maybe when you have exhausted the decades in this style you could do them all over again but with different countries foods? Like India in the 70's, 80's etc then Africa, Jamaica...the potential is endless. There are so many amazing and unique cultures and their foods!
You could do a 90s/2000s inspired dinner party with food s from your childhood, melon for starter, fish fingers, pizza or lasagne for main, potato smilies, vienetta for pudding
you can bake a baked alaska. The meringue insulates the icecream. Just use the broiler. Also I don't like trifle but I made black forest with a vegan chocolate pastry cream, homemade cherry compote, coco whipped cream and of course the chocolate cake
Grace, I was just talking with one of my pals about how genuinely great you are. And how much we love your content. I’m 42 and she’s 22. Truly a creator for all❤️ Long may you reign, queen of the kitchen!
OOOOO would doing country themed dinner and dessert be possible? I would love to see how your family reacts to different cuisines. Very wholesome content, always a positive to my day!
Our family always have Trifle for christmas pudding. Its layered starting with sponge soaked in Port wine flavoured jelly, peach halves, custard, cream then glace Cherries and crumbled flake on top. It is the best. Hello from Streaky Bay South Australia x
As someone who lives in a country where people eat vol au vent very regurarly, you ALWAYS KEEP THE TOP!! You put it back on top of the vol au vent filling that's in the little puff pastry! When your mum said "just a spare" i just gasped!
We do trifle with raspberry jelly and madeira sponge broken up into the jelly (Thoroughly, not chunks, like, as if you were making a cake pop except with jelly not frosting) birds custard onto and then cream with flake all over the top. Tiramisu does not have flake ontop it has cocoa powder! Flake goes on a trifle! sprinkles are fine too but flake is classic Delia did you dirty grace.
The most wonderful thing about trifles, are that trifles are wonderful things. Some are made out of sponges, some are made out of Bings (cherries). No, really though - trifles are super awesome because they're fancy, good to use up extra stuff, and fun to make at least imho. Super versatile. I don't like alcohol in my desserts either, unless it's something like cherries jubilee. Oh my goodness. So good.
Put the garlic bulbs (with the skin) in a mug with a lid - like a Starbucks re-usable mug. And just shake like mad for about 30 seconds. Peels the garlic like magic! 🪄
