Downstairs at Downton Abbey

This time on America’s Test Kitchen, we interview Lesley Nichol, who plays Mrs. Patmore, to get an insider’s take on the food of Downton Abbey. We’ll be tasting whole wheat pasta, and we’ll travel back in time to discover the origins of Peaches and Cream Pie. Then we’ll head into the test kitchen to learn how to make the best grilled pork chops. And of course, we’ll be taking your calls to answer all of your cooking questions.

In This Program
  • Peaches and Cream Pie recipe

    Peaches and Cream Pie

    The name made it sound delicious, but the historic recipes we tried didn't pan out. Custard to the rescue.

  • Best Gas Grill-Smoked Pork Chops recipe

    Best Gas Grill-Smoked Pork Chops

    To achieve juicy glazed pork infused with deep smoky flavor without a smoker, we couldn't let the chops lie down on the job.

  • Whole-Wheat Pasta taste test

    Whole-Wheat Pasta

    Whole-wheat pasta used to be awful, with mushy texture and a cardboard taste. Have manufacturers finally figured out how to make it rival white pasta?
