A vanilla and orange cheesecake with a cranberry topping — delicious and beautifully festive, perfect for a Christmas table. Baked in a water bath to ensure a silky, smooth texture without cracks.
Another white chocolate cheesecake for the collection — because if not here, then where? ;). This time, I didn’t quite follow Yotam Ottolenghi’s original proportions and reduced the amount of white chocolate. Even for me, 600 g in one relatively small
A wonderfully refreshing strawberry and pineapple smoothie – at this time of year, best made with frozen strawberries. Ideally, use freshly squeezed orange juice, but any good-quality fresh orange juice (not from concentrate) will work just as well. A perfect start to the day!
A moist rhubarb and orange cake soaked with a fragrant fruit syrup. The well-known “Rhubarb Triangle” in Yorkshire is famous for its pink forced rhubarb, available from January to April. It’s the last chance to enjoy it before outdoor-grown rhubarb takes over.
A vibrant green smoothie made with kale, pear and pineapple :). This flavour combination was suggested by one of my readers – and it works beautifully! A perfect boost of energy to start your day or enjoy as a light afternoon pick-me-up.
Porridge with rhubarb is dangerously delicious – comforting, moreish and absolutely perfect for breakfast :). It’s a year-round favourite too – in winter, simply use frozen rhubarb. Lightly creamy, with perfectly balanced proportions – just the way I like it.
It would be a shame not to make the most of beautifully ripening rhubarb :). This time, inspired by a rustic apple tart, I’ve made a simple rhubarb version. You don’t even need a tin to make it – that’s where its rustic charm comes from. It features perfectly crumbly
