Delicious Strawberry Apple Crumble … a very easy heart friendly dessert!
One of my favourite fruit bakes ... A heart friendly dessert with complex carbs, delicious fruit and low calories. Use fruit of the season, stone and pip fruit work great here, throw in a handful of chopped dry fruit, almonds, pistachios, walnuts etc, then throw in some tart cherries, craisins, raisins if you like, add some fresh herbs like thyme for a nice Spring feel … and bake until the juices begin to enticingly ooze out. ENJOY!!

Baking | Roasted Garlic Foccacia … & a salute to the ‘Fukushima 50’!
A handsome splash of extra virgin olive oil, a couple of heads of roasted garlic in the dough, a sprinkling of fresh oregano, sea salt & more garlic on top. I couldn't have asked for better, more comforting bread! It's simple, is ready to bake in a couple of hours, and the olive oil lavished on top gives it a beautiful crust.

Mousse-a-cotta with Macs in the Air!
A deliicous experiment later, mousse-a-cotta or panna-mousse is what found its way back into these goblets. It found its way into the dwarfs tummies at express speed too! They loved the second fast track attempt, one that I added a dash of espresso to as well. Served them with sesame macarons!
