Spicy courgette fritters don't sound like a Barrow recipe to me.

我觉得这个馅饼不像是家乡菜

Actually, mate,it's way older than that.

事实上，这道菜历史更悠久

It turns out fritters have been cooked in some parts of the world for hundreds of years,

世界上有些地方做馅饼的已有百年历史

but arrived here in the Middle Ages when the recipe was brought back from the Middle East bythe Crusaders.

但直到中世纪，菜谱从中东由十字军得来才传到这里

A bit like Heather, dude,who's been travelling and collecting recipes at the same time.

他们和海瑟薇一样一边旅游一边搜集食谱

Is this recipe one of yours?

这是你家传的食谱吗

The batter would have been from Great-Grandmother's recipe book,because it's a basic batter.

面糊是从我的曾曾祖母食谱里得来的，但是只是基本的面糊做法。

Yes.

嗯

But I have modified it.

我改进了一点

Sometimes, I use ordinary flour,

有时，我用普通面粉

sometimes, I use gram flour.

有时用鹰嘴豆粉

It depends what mood I'm in.

视心情而定

Oh, that's the cakes!

蛋糕好了

All ready. Dinner on.

好了，上餐!

Oh, look at that. It's perfect.

快看太完美了

And it's got a little bit of spongy give there. Oh!

像海绵一样富有弹性

Fantastic.

棒

With the sponges cooling down, it's time to prep the fresh ingredients for the fritters.

等蛋糕冷却后，现在该准备馅饼的新鲜食材了
