I have to say that the vast majority of food programmes of late seem to do little else but rehash the same recipes over and over again with very few changes. Whilst there is a lot of be said for keeping some of our traditional recipes “as is”, there is also a need to create [...]

Don’t be seduced by a pretty cake

It’s very easy to be seduced by the decorative artistry of a cake, the tremendously thick and tasty icing and the beautifully arranged toppings is enough to make anybody’s mouth water.

Eliza — Mon, 09 May 2011 12:37:30 +0000

Toblerone were extremely generous to send us two 400gram bars over the Easter period – and we used each of them to experiment a little.
