' A Proper Sunday Dinner!' - The Perfect Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding Dinner

In this video I share a traditional English Roast Beef Dinner with Yorkshire Pudding and Roast Potatoes along with a poignant message on the importance of the family sitting around the table. Sharing recipes that I used at Buckingham Palace for creating this delicious Sunday roast dinner for The Queen and her family.

I also introduce my new line of fabulous Seasonings for beef, chicken, fish and vegetables (link below) and the Buckingham seasoning for the beef takes the roast to a new level.

Thank you Darren for a tantalizing recipe! My daughter bought a set of your seasonings as a gift for me and they are amazing! Thank you for your wonderful products and recipes!💗

Darren is literally the only person who at the start of a video could cook a roast and by the end of it making you want to reconnect with your relatives and meet up with them to make some memories because life is so precious. YouTube doesn't deserve such a gentle soul. Thanks for another amazing video Chef! Here's to another 200k subscribers!

This gentleman is not only teaching you how to cook, he's teaching you how to do life! I absolutely loved this video. One of the best instructional videos of any kind ever. Thank you.

We're currently "homeless" (living in a small camper) but we still manage, when we can, to have Sunday dinner! We use our KYVOL Air Fryer and usually do a roast chicken. I think, though, when we are finally blessed with a real kitchen in a real home, our first Sunday dinner will be roast beef! Those Yorkshire puddings look amazing and can't wait to try them! ❤️

Just what my mom, a American WAC did every Sunday for my father, a British Sailor. It was lovely.

Thanks I haven't had roast beef and yorkshire pud for over 20years. Mum was a Sunday roast lady too.
My daughter and her wife and my grandson are coming for dinner tonight so I'm having a roast. Thanks for reminding me how yummy this is.
We will have Beef, roast potatoes, parsnip, kumera, honey carrots and peas. And of course yorkshire pudding. They are bringing dessert.
I live in a retirement village and we make a point of eating together once a week. One week at my place the other at theirs.
I love it.

My nan just died half a year ago and this video made me cry a lot. Enjoy your beloved ones while you still can.

“I know we all wished we had gone around for one more proper Sunday dinner…”

Indeed Chef. We all do. We all wish we could go. Just once more.

this brings tears to my eyes, memories of sunday dinner in the 70s

I was born in 1960 in Paterson New Jersey, and my father was born in Southampton England. He and my grandmother when I was a child used to make this very same dinner. The Yorkshire pudding wasn’t in muffin tins but in a big flat pan. But everything else is done in this video is pretty much the same thing as I remember seeing as a child. This video is fantastic and it just warmed my heart to see something like this. Oddly enough I remembered when the pudding was cold we would have it as a dessert the next day or even the day after and we used Lyles golden syrup which if I remember correctly my grandmother used to call treacle or something like that. Again thank you very much for this video it was fantastic to see because unfortunately my parents are all gone. If I had the opportunity now that I’m 60 years old I would make this dinner for them. Peace and love to all of you. 💖🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🥰

I made Sunday dinner the day before I went to see a dying patient, who I found out was British, and we got to reminisce together about Sunday Roast Dinners 😀 it was a beautiful memory to share with her before she departed...

[Cuchullain]

I love the story you shared about your nan's Sunday roast chicken. My nana used to make the best and years later when I went over to my mother for Sunday dinner; I commented that the roast chicken was just like nana used to make. She came over and hugged and thanked me for the comment. It's not only that food tastes great but it is also the wonderful memories it also invokes. Thanks for posting this delicious beef dinner.

I hope you know how much joy you are bringing to a world in need of it. Bless you my good man. Bless you.

[masterphoenixpraha]

finally some new video... was missing you, hope everything was good with you Darren. Keep going. Honestly I watch more because of the stories and history lessons you are giving. Makes it really fun for me. Thank you for it.

As an American who adores everything British this was absolutely fabulous! It looks so simple to make! Thank you Chef Darren for a fantastic presentation! Much love from Dairyland USA, Wisconsin❤

[donnabaardsen]

No, Darren, thank YOU for making these videos. You deserve the 200, 000+ subs! What a treat it is to watch you cook so many mouth watering dishes, and hear the stories behind them🤗💞👍

I terribly miss the sunday family dinners of my childhood. Everybody was still alive, my life was whole. Once in a while I cook the same dishes my grandmother loved to prepare, and their smell works like an instantaneous time machine, bringing me back to those times. It's a bittersweet feeling.

[ericmgarrison]

I’m a graduate of the university of London, and this looks so much better than any Sunday roast I ever had there. That roast beef was always cooked well done with Brussels sprouts that were equally as tasteless and gray. Yours is a Sunday roast that I could enjoy seven days a week!

Hello Darren, I am glad I have rediscovered English cooking at its best. Back in the old days in Rochdale, my wife and I used to drive up to the White House restaurant overlooking the moors, just a few miles before Baitings, and we loved having delicious hot roast beef and Yorkshire puddings there. We now live in America, but have a mind to go back for old times sake and meet old friends again. Thank you for the recipes.
❤❤❤
