Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Rich shortcrust pastry

    • tmetcalfe74 on September 15, 2020

      This makes amazing pastry cases - a firm favorite now for all sweet tarts - to be fair this pastry is so good I have to fend off family members who want to eat the baked offcuts :)

  • Sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce

    • etcjm on October 10, 2019

      Everyone loves this. Gets requested regularly. I make it gluten free and it works fine. The toffee sauce is great, I sometimes have to make more...

  • Chocolate cola cake

    • SuzyP on January 03, 2018

      Very tasty and easy recipe. My go to Chocolate cake recipe. Did not make the frosting.

  • Dark chocolate brownies

    • etcjm on October 10, 2019

      Have cooked this for years. I use 250g not 350g of chocolate and it's still rich. I sub the flour for gluten free flour and different nuts depending on what I have. Winner every time.

The rest of the book is full of over 70 tempting recipes including classics such as Tarte Tatin, Pavlova and Chocolate Mousse; comfort food heaven - Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Apple and Toffee Muffins; old favourites including Spicy Plum Crumble, Ginger Parkin and Lemon Meringue Pie; and traditional recipes for Summer Pudding, Lardy Cake, Junket Ice Cream and Kentish Pudding Pie. He also creates a delicious selection of confections which are destined to become firm favourites including White Chocolate Ice cream, Whisky and Croissant Butter Pudding, Raspberry and Vodka Terrine, Chocolate Cola Cake and Fig Fritters.
