I really wanted to make these with rhubarb — but, as luck would have it, I couldn’t find any in the local shops (most of them were closed because of the Royal Wedding!). Luckily, I had some overripe bananas at home — and they turned out to be a perfect substitute.
Waffles — but make them luxurious! This elegant waffle “cake” is a fun and unusual way to serve a classic favourite. Whether it turns out more like a cake or a gateau depends on the size of your waffle maker. I used a smaller one to create a more delicate, refined look.

Whenever I manage to buy fragrant, beautiful first-of-the-season local strawberries, I immediately want to make pancakes or crêpes to go with them. This time I tried the famous American pancakes recipe by Nigella Lawson — and it did not disappoint.
