Sometimes a recipe will come along that looks too easy to be interesting. These raspberry coconut macaroons – with just a few ingredients and taking about 15 mins to prep – definitely made me wonder whether they’d be a little bland. But in Smitten Kitchen I trust. She has a wonderful knack of pairing flavours […]
It seems that nearly any fruit is improved when you cover it in a layer of crunchy, buttery crumble. Strawberries are no exception – particularly if you add a few raspberries and blackcurrants to give it a kick. Strawberries are so sweet when in season that you don’t need to add any extra sugar to […]
There are a few versions of this quintessentially English dessert knocking about. This recipe is a cheats delight: ready-made custard means you can whip it up in minutes without compromising on flavour. Don’t be tempted to add extra sugar – it’s delicious exactly because of the contrast between the sharp gooseberries and creamy custard. If […]
Strawberries and raspberries work really well together and the addition of the redcurrants, makes this breakfast a delicious – and portable – start to the morning. Recipe by Lindsey Fosker from Eat Unique. The good thing about preparing food in a jar is they are portable, so perfect for breakfast on the go. I normally make up […]
There was a time when the only crumble I’d consider was made with gooseberries or rhubarb. Any other recipe didn’t promise that winning combination of sweet crumble topping and tart fruit base. But then a couple of desserts crossed my path that set me questioning this crumbly absolute. First: a California pie shop woo-ed me […]
Layering vanilla cake with summer fruit berries before baking gives this classic lemon drizzle cake a fresh summer makeover. I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of fancy recipes lately. It happens sometimes, when my gastronomical ambition runs away with itself, without checking the actual time I have available (see peak-season roster, oops). So I was refreshed […]
We’re are big fans of crumble but any variations usually happen in the crumble layer. This time, we livened up our gooseberry crumble classic by adding blackcurrants. I’m pleased to report it’s a match made in heaven. We’re nearly always too busy with the start of the season to make crumble with green gooseberries, so […]
I am tempted to say that this summer delight may well be the best strawberry cake I’ve ever made. A bold claim, I know. And all the other strawberry cakes on this site are bickering amongst themselves about what makes this one so special. Well – here’s my case: sweet and sour: I find strawberries […]
This variation on the Italian classic makes a light, summer dessert, great for summer BBQs and parties. Omitting the traditional coffee makes it less rich than the usual tiramisu, but the alcohol ensures it’s still very much a grown up dessert. The sprinkling of chocolate flake isn’t essential – but definitely worth it. We found […]
