We’ve been a fan of British chef and television star Jamie Oliver for a long time. He makes fun, flavorful foods, and puts lots of care and attention into how he prepares even the simplest ingredients. He’s also British, which means he has a ton of recipes that we’ve never actually tasted, or at the very least, never tried to make at home. But it’s time to end all that, and what better season to start experiementing with British cooking than during the holidays, when we’re cooking and hosting friends and family more than at any other time of year? These are some of the tastiers looking British dishes by Jamie Oliver, and we can’t wait to try them.
Homemade Fish & Chips
Fish and chips is a classic British food to be eaten on the go, often served in a paper cone. Jamie Oliver’s recipe features beer-battered white fish, homemade fried potatoes, and a side of minty smashed peas.

Midnight Pan-Cooked Breakfast
Oliver said that this recipe was inspired by his nights out at the pub with his mates. He wanted a recipe that was satisfying, could be cooked up in no time, and would easily slide out of his nonstick skillet. It’s a take on the classic full English breakfast, with seared tomatoes, fried mushrooms, eggs, and whatever other breakfast favorites you have on hand.

Sausage & Mash
Here’s another hearty British sausage dish you’ll want to make all winter long. Oliver’s sausages with pan-cooked chutney and leek mashed potatoes are savory and warming, but get a kick of flavor from a spiced cranberry chutney.

Easy Shepherd’s Pie
In the U.S., shepherds pie often means a ground beef stew covered in mashed potatoes, but in the U.K., the term shepherds pie is reserved for those made with minced lamb (minced beef makes it a cottage pie). Oliver’s rendition is also loaded with vegetables and savory gravy, and is topped with cheddar-infused mashed potatoes and swede, also known as rutabaga.

Toad In The Hole
Why is it called toad in the hole? We’re not sure if anyone knows, but this hearty British comfort food dish is made by baking roasted sausages in a Yorkshire pudding-style batter that puffs up all around them, best served with gravy (Oliver’s recipe calls for a simple onion gravy).
