Georgia Boiled Peanuts is a stand food. Using the saute function to make lentils. Using Instapot trivet to cook chicken and even BBQ it. Steaming lettuce for making wraps. Steaming Asparagus. I havent tried that before.

Batley Cake is made on a baking sheet and not in a tin. Thats the first one I am going to take a stab at. And the black and white pictures interspersed between the recipes retain the feel of Yorkshire in visual sense too.
