Honey Roasted Nectarine & Cardamom Karpatka
I didn’t think my love for this polish dessert could get any bigger, but you add in honey roasted nectarines and a fragrant cardamom diplomat cream and it might just be my idea of heaven.
Brown Sugar, Coffee, Chocolate Custard Tart
There’s something so satisfying and pleasing about a clean slice of custard tart. This tart looks simple but packs in a lot of technique and flavour. None of the flavours overpower each other in this, they just dance along together in harmony encased in a silky custard.
Pregnancy-Friendly Tiramisu
I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and every single restaurant I’ve been to recently has had Tiramisu on the menu. It’s been absolute torture not being able to have any (especially when my partner still orders it!) So I bring to you, a pregnancy-friendly Tiramisu recipe: no alcohol, decaf coffee and British Lion eggs. It’s very important to use British Lion eggs as they’re safe to eat when used in a cream like this (as they’re not cooked.) Feel free to use this recipe even if you’re not pregnant and add back in the caffeine and some alcohol into the syrup.
Thailand - Mango Sticky Rice
This week for ‘Baking around the world’ we’re in Thailand! I get excited every time I get to make something from a country so vastly different from the one I grew up in. It often means that their desserts are vastly different too. If you have ripe mangoes available, this is a perfect fresh dessert. It’s also an absolute breeze to make!
Rhubarb Raspberry Compote & Lemon Frangipane Meringue Tart
I always jump at the chance to use some Rhubarb. It’s one of my favourite ingredients and try to fit it into everything when its in season. The tartness from the Rhubarb marries really well with the sweet Raspberries in this tart. Layer in some nutty Almond Frangipane and its a perfect match. Little do you know its all sitting under that beautiful glossy meringue top.
Lithuania - Medaus Tortas
A tasty cake layered with honey biscuits & lemon sour cream filling. Delish!
