Blood Orange Seed Cake (6-8)

A very good cake from ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island ” by Debora Robertson. It will keep well sealed in a tin for a few days.

Cheddar, Chive and Marmite Scones (6 scones)

Light and fluffy savoury scones from Debora Robertson’s ” Notes from a Small Kitchen Island”. Serve warm, split with plenty of butter and a little more Marmite.

Courgette, Potato and Bechamel Bake (4)

A vegetarian main for those cooler nights from Rachel Roddy.

Far Breton (8-10)

This is Debora Robertsons very good recipe for this traditional cake or dessert from Brittany.

Asparagus, Goats Cheese and Spring Onion Tart (6)

A delicious bake which is also good for a picnic from Gill Meller.

Spring Vegetable Tart (4-6)

A creamy rustic tart from ” Root, Stem, Flower, Leaf ” by Gill Meller.

Bread and Butter Pudding with Pedro Ximenez (6)

A lovely version of this dessert from The Hairy Bikers.

Chocolate and Almond Cake (8-10)

I visited a local Italian restaurant with friends last night and unfortunately the food was somewhat underwhelming . The best course was my dessert of Torta Caprese, but even then I felt there was room for improvement. This is a chocolatey, moist and dense cake from Rachel Roddy’s ” Two Kitchens”. You can eat as a cake or serve as a pudding with cold cream or ice cream as you prefer.
