Desserts
Pear and Raspberry Crumble
Pear and raspberry crumble is sweet and very satisfying with the subtle taste of pears matched with vibrant raspberries. There is nothing better than a homemade crumble served with lashings of hot custard to finish off Sunday dinner.
Gooseberry Crumble
A British summer classic dessert, fruity slightly sharp gooseberry crumble with a lovely crunchy topping.
WW2 Christmas Pudding
This Old-Fashioned Christmas Pudding revives a vintage WW2 British recipe from the 1940s.
Bread and Butter Pudding
As you might expect, bread and butter pudding was created to use up stale bread, and was first made as early as the 11th century.
Treacle Tart
A classic British pudding for those of us with a very sweet tooth. One slice of treacle tart is never enough.
Cinnamon Baked Pears
These really easy-to-cook cinnamon-baked pears will fill your kitchen with the most beautiful aroma and are melt-in-the-mouth delicious.
Bakewell Tart
A cup of tea and a slice of Bakewell tart, sitting in the garden in the afternoon sunshine. What more do you need?
