About

Welcome to Brit & Skillet — where British food meets the American kitchen.

Brit & Skillet was created to make British cooking and baking more approachable for people in the United States. If you’ve ever opened a British recipe and wondered what caster sugar is, where to find golden syrup, or why everything is measured in grams, you’re in the right place.

Here you’ll find British recipes, ingredient guides, kitchen tips, and practical explanations designed to help American cooks confidently bring a little taste of Britain into their own kitchens.

I’m Jane at Brit & Skillet, and I created this site to share the flavors, traditions, and little kitchen differences that make British food so much fun to explore.

What You’ll Find at Brit & Skillet

Brit & Skillet is all about making the journey between British and American kitchens a little easier—and a lot more delicious.

Here you’ll find traditional British recipes and treats, along with guides to ingredients that may be unfamiliar or difficult to find in the United States.

We’ll also explore British-to-American ingredient and measurement differences, practical substitutions, useful kitchen tools, and products that can make British cooking and baking easier at home.

Whether you’re trying your first batch of British flapjacks, figuring out the difference between treacle and molasses, or simply curious about British food traditions, Brit & Skillet is here to help you get started.

About Jane

Hi, I’m Jane—the person behind Brit & Skillet.

I created Brit & Skillet to help bridge the gap between British recipes and American kitchens. British cooking has its own ingredients, measurements, terminology, and traditions, and those little differences can sometimes make an otherwise simple recipe surprisingly confusing.

My goal is to make those differences easier to understand while sharing delicious recipes, useful kitchen discoveries, and a bit of British food culture along the way.

I’m building Brit & Skillet as a place where you can learn, experiment, and hopefully discover a few new favorites for your own kitchen.
