Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chocolate rum maple pecan pie

  • meggan on December 04, 2024

    I thought this was really good - the filling is not the typically sickly sweet pecan filling. It's more like pudding.

• Cocoa sour cream layer cake

    What an incredible chocolate cake. Great crumb, perfect frosting. This is my forever chocolate celebration cake - and I’ve tried a lot to get here. Held unusually well in the fridge for three days.

    Delicious! A great celebration cake.

• Yuzu soufflé cheesecake

  • Astrid5555 on January 06, 2025

    I am a sucker for a soufflé cheesecake and this one is a hit. My first time baking with yuzu and it was absolutely amazing!

• Fresh strawberry buttersponge with mascarpone mousse and strawberry sherbet

  • trenna_afsv69 on May 04, 2026

    Absolutely delicious. I placed the strawberry’s the wrong way, so know I understand the concentric circles comment! Still delightful to look at.

• Chicory caramel mascarpone layer cake

  • Staceydee on March 07, 2026

    A really good cake. The chicory flavour didn’t come out too strongly but was a good base for the caramel

• Dark chocolate buttercream

  • joanhuguet on June 27, 2024

    Perfect chocolate buttercream. Fluffy and stable. Not too sweet, not too rich. Less fussy than meringue-based; better texture than roux-based/ermine. The crème fraiche and browned butter create intriguing complexity. I did have to chill for 30 minutes after adding the browned butter and melted chocolate, as the mix was quite soupy. After this, it whipped up beautifully.
