Espresso, Brown Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I love banana bread as it is; but I love it even more when its warm from the oven, packed full of coffee and gooey chocolate chips. I’ve also chucked in some brown butter to add depth of flavour. The result is a beautifully golden loaf that’s humble in its rustic appearance with a light, moist slice. The recipe comes together quickly and easily without the need for a stand mixer. So if you have any spotty ripe bananas that need using; this recipes for you.
Thyme-Infused Lemon Posset
A posset is the perfect balance of light citrus flavours and rich indulgent cream. Since the only setting agent in these is the lemon juice, the cream holds its shape but stays nice and soft. It just melts in the mouth.
Greece - Portokalopita
A delicious alternative to your average cake, packed full of orange flavour and really easy to make. You start out by tearing the Filo Pastry and leaving it to dry for a few hours before soaking it in custard. Once its baked, drench the entire cake in cinnamon infused orange syrup. Heaven!
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!
Tiramisu glasses
There's something about Tiramisu that is utterly irresistible and so moreish. A mix of rich mascarpone cream, cocoa and boozy espresso soaked biscuits creates the perfect dessert.
