I live 10 mins from Windsor and Eton. Eton Mess was made when basically a pavlova got smashed by mistake at Eton College, and they served it up in bowls, with the name "Eton Mess!" It is yummy though!

Hey John, i wanted to say that I'm preordering your book and buying one for my mom also! I love your channel and your pep gives me a pep in my step every time you post a video! You're so awesome and one of my favorites on KZfaq!!! Thanks for being so helpful and wonderful!!!

Hi John! At the Eton College website they say this dessert exists since 1893. It is served at the annual cricket match against the pupils of Harrow School. Interesting facts! Just by baking a simple dessert we’re learning about it’s history. Thank U 🙏 Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹!

My favourite YT chef making my favourite thing to eat in the whole world! It's Pure Heaven! Anyone in the the UK looking for the perfect meringues - M&S, big one crunched up or small, they have a perfect lovely chewy centre. Fun fact: I've always been told by Etonians that Eton Mess doesn't exist, it's actually Strawberry Mess! My British cookbooks tell me 1893 to answer your question. 🍓

I love how chill you are. I'm a very nervous person when it comes to cooking/baking. I'm not bad at it, it just makes me so stressed. I'm always scared I'll mess up. But your calmness makes the process feel so unworthy of this nervousness. Thank you.

When I woke up today I didn't even feel like getting out of bed. Then I watched your tutorial and you are so funny and brighten my day now I feel like putting the strawberries in the refrigerator to good use. Thank you and God bless you and yours . Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

My daughter would absolutely love this. I'm definitely giving it a try. Enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for all the beautiful recipes 🥰

There's a good reason this is a classic summer dessert! Essentially it's a Pavlova served in a glass - but easier to make because the little meringue kisses are easier to handle than a large meringue. I absolutely love it.

I followed your recipe and made this last weekend! It was such a hit for our friends! But the best part is, I had some left over macerated strawberries and meringue kisses so I decided to make this in milkshake form!!! So in my blender I put the strawberries, some meringue kisses, some heavy cream and some milk and blended them all together 😃 for the icing on the cake, I sprinkled some chia and flax seeds on top!!! Holy cow🤩🤩 It was sooooo satisfying to eat!! Comfort desert!!!!! ❤️❤️

thank god ive found this channel binge-watching since yesterday so so so satisfying

This looks so amazing. Strawberries are great and refreshing for summer.

My favorite show too! Gilded Age 💕 thank you for this video! Beautiful

Hi John, I just love all your extra tips about weather for meringues. I often go into baking mode when the weather is blah. This looks so pretty and I know it has to be delicious. Thank you!

I love Eton Mess! I love that you add the products you use to your videos, it’s great!

I'm addicted to your video recipes 😅😅 your recipes are always good I made the donut it was pretty good🌺🌺🌼 thank you master john 💞

Hi John! 🤗 I absolutely love meringues!Your recipe is flawless, I agree with you about the super fine sugar in slowly additions. The cups look amazing, and the addition of orange peel and liquor to the strawberries is yummy! Thank you for sharing your awesome recipes John!

Yay! I also love The Gilded Age!

I love watching your videos!! You make it easy to follow and it helps with my depression. When I’m feeling down, I’ll find a treat that touches my soul and I’ll give it try. Thanks for sharing your love in the kitchen !!

wow these look so delicious, and i love the way you filmed your process and narrated it absolutely beautiful

This recipe looks so delicious! I love watching your channel! You present your recipes in a wonderful, entertaining manner, along with inspiring and empowering your audience. Thank you so much!

Fun fact: Japan has its strawberry season in the winter, from December to April. Luckily here in Hong Kong we have both Japanese and American strawberries, so we can have Eton mess all year round.

This looks yummy 😋 John. I think when I make it I will add some fresh peaches to the strawberries 🍓 one of my favorite combinations. 😋

This looks amazing John! Strawberries and cream go really well together 😋😋😄

I've never heard of this dessert- looks SO good. Will definitely try it. Thanks a ton.

I really love this chap. I make all of his recipes and I love his humour and sharp intelligence. Keep up the good work. You bring a lot of sunshine into my kitchen. Regards from Ireland. 😍

John you are my favorite chef! Ever! I am actually eating zucchini bread , that I made using your recipe, while I watch this video! Thank you so much for your channel, your cookbook, and your website!

Really my mouth waters to think about a combo of creamy and crunchy. Thanks for your wonderful recipes. Love and greetings from Pakistan

I found your recipe for Eton Mess back when Bridgerton Season 2 dropped. A friend was coming over to binge watch with me so I made it for us to enjoy. I could have eaten the entire batch. It was incredible! Now, I need to try the jazzed up version.

I also add some Custard to it when I am layering it.

While visiting a friend in England we went to Elton to watch her nephew play in a cricket match, which was so fun. She told me the Eaton mess was around when her grandfather was a student which would have been in the 1920’s so it’s older then 1920. Her mother thought late 1800’s. It’s my go to dessert when I visit

Presentation. Presentation. Presentation. That's where you shine above all the others, John.

Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries or other berries, meringue, and whipped cream. First mentioned in print in 1893, it is commonly believed to originate from Eton College and is served at the annual cricket match against the pupils of Harrow School.Lancing mess (which uses bananas) is a similar dessert that is served throughout the year at Lancing College in West Sussex. (info from Wikipedia) 7 some from a Eton college site. Easy to make even better to eat & this one looks great to

Hi John, love your channel, thanks. Elton Mess reputedly was born the day when a kitchen assistant dropped a meringue while passing it to the cook who was going to fill it . The cook didn’t have time to start again, as so just crumbed the meringue, and mixed it with strawberries and cream, then added some extra cream. The students really loved it and it was included on the menu thereafter. Yum tiddly-umptious 😊

Wow. Totally gonna try the recipe. It kinda reminds of when I f**ked up my pavlova and I just mashed up the meringue, whipped cream, and fruit together.

My Mom used to make the most awesome at Sham torte! For quite a lot of people it was always perfect.

Ah my dad passed away in 2018 but I remember he used to make this when I was a kid... Used to love this. It's strawberry season so I decided to look this recipe up...

I’ll buy your book for my wife. She loves your channel. She makes me watch your videos.

I love Eton Mess. Meringue is always at home. Every time when so eggwhite are left, I love to make meringue. Thank you for showing you version of eton mess. 🌺🌻🌺

This is also wonderful with something crunchy...I use toasted quinoa...always have this aroungd as substitute for MS allergies

Your sweet matching the Forth. Enjoy the long weekend

0:30 My grandmother always said that the weather affects baking! I.E., don't make pie crust or noodles on a rainy day.

Love all your videos and recipes!!! In response to your question about Eaton Mess I found that it was created in 1893. First called "Eton Mess aux Fraises" as recorded by historian Arthur Beavan.

My children get excited when I tell them I'm making one of your recipes

This looks amazing. My kids are obsessed in watching your videos, we binged a bunch today haha. I love anything with strawberries :)

Wow, he returned from Paris very quickly!

all the cakes you make are so perfect who agree with me

This is the perfect combination of the things I love!

Never heard of this dessert before!! Look forward to giving it a go. It’s recipes like this this why I love watching your show! You have really expanded my confidence level.

When I start feeling anxious for no reason I watch a John’s videos and am instantly calmed down. This dessert is a MUST!! Cannot wait to try this!!!

Mmm! You had me at "creamy, light and delicious"!!!!

I often make a Pavlova for family parties and sometimes one wont be as good as I like so I use it to make the Eton mess. Saves the day!

It looks like a strawberry trifle. Especially with the addition of the liqueur. Delicious! I always made mine with a peach brandy, and homemade meringues instead of lady fingers.

I think it would be so delicious 😋 thank you John

Simple beautiful receipes. love all ur videos.awesome .from India.

John, I love your recipes and the way yo explain. I have done many of them. I also practice my English with your videos. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 Best wishes ☺️

That is the neatest Eton Mess I've seen. The first one I ever had didn't look appetizing but was SO darn good.

Very nice recipie Jonh! It' amazing! They looks so yummy and tasty! Can you make us chocolate ice cream and ice cream shadwich? If you know can you make us Greek desserts? Have a nice day and good weekend! 👍👏🍓🍓🍓

Loved the video! Found a few pages that mentioned 1893

dear very healthy and absolutely delicious dessert also mouth watering looks so incredible feeling heaven and u explain very beautifully nice presentation and preparation stay blessed

Never heard of this yummy looking dessert. I looked it up and apparently it was "first mentioned in print in 1893". I need to give this one a try.

oh my gosh this looks so good john 🤤🤤 i love strawberries

so delicious its more delicious than the cakes that are sold in stores too

Hi John. The dessert started as a strawberry pavlova. It was dropped on to the table and smashed. That was the beginning of Eton mess😊

You are a master chef 💯👌😱😱😱 , am your new new subscriber

Good Morning John, this treat looks amazing!

New to me desert. Look forward to making & serving! Ty!

I love Elton mess, it’s such a quick and easy thing to make! Also in the uk we call it caster sugar instead of superfine (seen as it’s a British dessert, thought I’d mention) ❤️

Can't wait for the book. I pre-ordered too.😃 I agree about blending super-fine sugar. Whenever I need it, I throw regular sugar into my blender first. It makes the most ah-mazing 😉 fine sugar that stays especially light.

Wow, I have heard of this but never knew what it was or made it! Definitely will check it out so, colors of the red and white are so beautiful! 😍

You can add some blueberries and you have a cute lil 4th of July treat

I’ve heard of this dessert, but I didn’t know how simple it was. Think I’d like the classic version, like Brian.

i made this cake for my birthday and it is very tasty

I absolutely adore your channel ❤️ would definitely watch TV again if you were on food network

Thanks another great recipe - you always manage to make it look doable - great job 👏 👏

Well it should taste delicious and it's also very nice to look at 😊😊😊.

Thank you John! I made the Eton mess and it was delicious, 5 stars from my family! The meringue cookies were so good from scratch :)

This looks absolutely amazing 🤩 the perfect solution for a hot weather! Thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore ❤️

the recipe is simple and easy to make

I have made this with Vodka and maria cookies. My oven doesnt like to go low without letting out a lot of gas. I want to get a dehydrator but soon, maybe for christmas. Yes, home made whipped cream is so tasty, hard to find heavy cream on sale. I be using my coupons , honey!

Humm, my favorite combination: strawberries and whipped cream. Thanks, John, for this recipe. I'm a great fam of you.

Love this video. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us!

I love strawberries. I am diabetic but I think I would risk eating this. It looks so good!

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

Made this for my birthday and we will have it for the Fourth. So delicious! Took some left overs to a co worker and she said it was the best dessert she has ever had

I read a lot of English and Irish authors. One dessert that I have seen mentioned frequently is something called Knickerbocker Glory. I would love to see how that is made as well. Happy 4th to you and the family, Jon!

I’ve never heard of Eton Mess, but it looks delicious & like something I need to try!

Trader Joe's sell the cookies. They are located over the freezer department area where the frozen dinners and pre-made food is located. As you can tell I'm going to make this today.

Amazing desert

I love making meringue. It's like magic. I don't like eating it though. Way too sweet. I'll tuck this recipe in my back pocket for a party.

This is one of those great recipes, I will definitely try it, thanks for sharing!

It's been awhile since I made this. I remember in cooking school we had a ton of strawberries we had to use up and a ton of whipped cream so we ended up using the egg whites to make the meringues and we use the yolk to make lemon curd and had that along with it and some cubed up pound cake, we had it set up so everybody could assemble how they wanted it along with the fact that it was hot and I made everything else so I didn't want to assemble all the desserts. Oh and something fun I discovered one year I can't remember what base recipe unfortunately but I had made meringues and when I added flavoring I used strawberry candy oil and I added some citric acid to it, they ended up tasting like Starburst but having a softer texture I maybe could have baked them longer but I had to get to an appointment and we all like them if I remember correctly they had a little bit of a chew so we all kind of actually dug it

One of my favourite desserts!🤗🍓🍓🍓

i just made this cake, its beautiful and tastes lovely

Great video John😊😊
