Savoury Cheese Custard for all Seasons

If a sauce can be ‘quiet luxury’, this is definitely it. Kept low and slow on the hob, cream, egg yolks and cheese are coaxed together into a silky emulsion. Choose your cheese according to mood and frankly, this is my MO for most things. Spoon it over whatever vegetables the season is currently offering.

Almond & Coconut Macaroons

Some recipes call for the addition of almond or vanilla essence but I honestly don’t think they add anything to the finished product. I want the simple comfort or toasted, sweetened coconut when I’m craving a coconut macaroon. Even their almost uniform colour seems appropriate.

Impossible pie

Why impossible? It goes from lumpy liquid to a three-layered delight in just under an hour.

Easy Lemon Curd

I really didn’t think this recipe would work but it does. At first it appears like a curdled mess but eventually if you keep stirring and keep an eye on the heat, you will get proper lemon curd.
