Some cakes are made to be drizzled with warm custard and this one is no exception.  Of course it’s also fab with custard and / or cream, it’s entirely up to you.  However the silky-ness of the custard paired with this warm, spicy and aromatic sponge is just heavenly. 

Inspired by the Hot 8 Brass band from New Orleans, this authentic gumbo recipe really knocks your socks off.  Fresh vegetables wrapped around a thick spicy sauce, punctuated with sticky chicken, spicy sausage and the odd pop of a succulent prawn, is the perfect way to start an evening with friends or in front of the TV or just because you deserve it.

For a vegetarian patty to be robust enough, I believe chickpeas are the answer, and they can take a lot of flavour. They are also incredibly versatile, affordable and go a very long way. Next time you want some patties, bung these on your barbecue!

Gorgeous as a girly treat for high tea with your besties, or fabulous for a romantic ‘dessert à deux’ (leaving you half a dozen to choose from when you need a sweet midnight feast!)… These quick and sumptuous tarts are summery, impressive, yet so simple – You’ll be whipping them up in a flash whenever your heart desires…

This is the most LUSH way to have breakfast OR if you want a seasonal, quick, sweet, easy dessert, everything is just waiting in your pantry. By the time you’ve toasted your crumpet (oooh Mrs), your plums are hot, sticky and ready!!
