We are always happy to have an excuse to make fun English recipes like when we made this one lemon elderflower waffles for Prince Harry and Meghan Marklea‘s wedding. This weekend, from June 2-5, the UK will be celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, in honor of Queen Elizabeth II who served for 70 years. These recipes, courtesy of cooking and baking company dr. Oetker UKhave both healthy hacks and sweet treats, and are the perfect way to say hello to summer.
What is the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee?
The Jubilee is a celebration of Queen Elizabeth II who has been the British monarch for 70 years. She is the first British monarch to reach this milestone!

Party recipes for the platinum anniversary
Vegan Sausage Rolls
Sausage rolls are one of our favorite English recipes and they are a great quick breakfast on your way to school or work. This updated version swaps the meat and dairy for chickpeas and soy milk (which they call soy milk in the UK) to make it vegan.
Cheese and Onion Patties
Pies generally include meat, potatoes, and onions wrapped in puff pastry, but this recipe (which takes less than an hour, by the way) keeps it simple with a mix of cheese, onions, pepper, and chives. Avoid overflowing by making sure you don’t stuff your dough too full.
Eton Mess Cheesecake
This tasty dessert actually has several layers. The base consists of digestive biscuits, which you can find in the international aisle of your supermarket, while the filling is packed with white chocolate, cream cheese and raspberry filling. For a good dose, add some homemade meringue and raspberry coulis.
Vegan Quiche
Since quiche recipes call for eggs, you might be surprised to learn that you can make it without animal by-products. Tofu, nutritional yeast and soy milk are the keys to an airy quiche that everyone will love.
Gluten-free scones
Scones are an excellent addition to afternoon tea, breakfast, or as a late night snack. This gluten-free recipe makes it a little more sensitive to food, but you can still make a topping with cream cheese (or clotted cream if you can find it) and a generous dose of jam if you’d like. This one Bonne Maman Four Fruit Preserves is our favorite.
Pimms Cake
What makes this cake extra delicious is that after you take it out of the oven, you poke holes in the surface, drizzle the homemade Pimm’s syrup over it and let it set. You can also mix in orange zest to make it extra fruity! Strawberries and orange slices, as well as mint leaves, provide the finishing touch.
Anniversary Cupcakes
We are obsessed with this one Union Jack cupcake molds, almost as much as we love the cupcakes themselves. They may look like regular yellow cupcakes, but cut a circle in the center of each cake before icing and fill with raspberry jam for a fruity surprise.
Jam Roly Poly
Think of jam rolls as giant, fruity cinnamon rolls. After making your dough and spreading it on the baking sheet, spread jam of your choice (this recipe calls for raspberry, but we also made it with orange marmalade) and bake for half an hour. Leave some extra space in case it expands.
Knickerbocker Glory Cake
Raspberries, mangoes and dark chocolate come together beautifully to create a cake that is full, richly sweet and fruity in balance. Just don’t forget the chocolate curls to go on top.
