A Cornish girl's food adventures
This is a really delicious dessert. Like a combination of rhubarb and custard and bread pudding. I actually think it’s much nicer than the traditional version made with dried fruit, it’s not quite as sweet. The rhubarb gives it a nice tang whilst the strawberries […]
For my birthday this year I thought that I would keep things simple and just make this lovely loaf cake, to be sliced and enjoyed with a cup of Earl Grey tea. Obviously being a drizzle cake it’s lovely and moist (sorry but there isn’t […]
The blossom is just starting to appear on my cherry tree and it reminded me that there was a little stash of last years fruit in my freezer. But what should I do with this treasure that I squirreled away? Make a delicious cake of […]
