Great British Recipes with the help of frozen

The Last Night of the Proms transports us all back to the Land of Hope and Glory and with the UK’s current passion for all things British it’s the perfect time for big family party.

Over the last few years our love for good old pomp and ceremony has been treated to a royal wedding and a diamond jubilee and this year the Coronation anniversary and the arrival of the royal baby have boosted patriotic parties across the UK.

All this ‘Britishness’ has started to rub off on how we eat – trend experts at TheFoodPeople.co.uk have identified British traditionalism with a twist as a key trend for food this year.

The Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall promises to be the perfect opportunity to break out the bunting and whip out the Union Jacks and invite all the family to sing their hearts out to Jerusalem and Rule Britannia.

Catering for the ultimate ‘British’ party of course needs all the great British classics and frozen food offers the ideal partner to any Proms gathering. Using frozen makes entertaining easy as it can help save money, offer nutritious food, reduce waste and keep you out of the kitchen and free to give your best rendition of Danny Boy.

Top tips:

• Save time – convenient easy to cook snacks, means that you won’t miss the party

• Saving you money – frozen food can be 34% better value than fresh, leaving more money aside for bunting and flags
• Only defrost what you need – this will help you cut down food waste and enable you to save the remaining food for your next gathering
• Look for variety – from classics like sausage rolls and mini quiches to something a bit different like chicken Tikka samosas and Tempura prawns, frozen food adds a variety to and party
