Canada - Nanaimo Bars
A chocolate, coconut and biscuit base, custard buttercream middle layer, all finished with a dark indulgent chocolate topping. I great snack to make at the weekend for an afternoon pick me up during the week.
Lemon Cream Cheese, Harissa and Honey Crumpets
The perfect homemade weekend breakfast. Light, fluffy and full of flavour; you’ve never had crumpets like this.
Poland - Karpatka
A large crisp choux pastry filled with indulgent vanilla pastry cream. I decided to add some compote into the bottom, which isn’t traditional but was very delicious!
Dark Chocolate dipped Honeycomb
Can't beat fresh honeycomb dipped in contrasting dark chocolate. I'm quite partial to a sprinkling of sea salt too!
Austria - Linzer Torte
This is one I'll definitely be making again! So delicious. A perfect short and crumbly hazelnut pastry spiced with cinnamon, ginger and lemon. Filled with raspberry jam and topped with demerara sugar for that extra crunch
Egypt- Om Ali
This delicious Middle Eastern pudding is really growing on me. At first, I was surprised at the lack of sweetness. Since it uses condensed milk; I thought it was going to be overpowering. But no. It has these lovely savoury moments in amongst delicious mellow Filo Pastry, Raisins, Nuts & Coconut. Let me know if you give it a go!
