"A fruit-filled trifle using a combination of whipping cream and sour cream to replicate a beloved English treat. Well worth the effort. Chill time not included. See my recipe for Victorian Hot Milk Sponge Cake for the sponge cake."

Ingredients: fresh fruit, peach brandy...

"This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe..."

Ingredients: creme fraiche, lavender...

"Individual ice cream filled peach & berry tarts. Quick to make but they need to freeze for 4-6 hours so plan ahead. Freezer time not included in cook time. A little trivia about peach melba - the famous London chef Escoffier was once so moved by Nellie Melba's performance in Wagner's Lohengrin that he took up his pans and ice cream maker..."

Ingredients: miniature graham cracker pie crusts, peaches...

"The soft-fruit culinary sibling of the Fresh Fruit Fool. There is no foolishness about these two desserts! Traditional English fruit fools derive their name from the French word 'fouler', meaning to crush. Fortunately, this word was modified to 'fool': after all, not too many of us would be keen to be making, serving or eating 'foul'..."

Ingredients: fresh edible flowers, cream...

"Given that I was out late the day before Mother's Day this year, I knew there was no way I'd be able to get up early enough to bring my mother breakfast in bed, as tradition dictates.

"I found this recipe in a little ad supplement of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Posting it here for Zaar World Tour II and also so I don't lose it!"

Ingredients: cornmeal, granulated sugar...

"From the Syllabub blog at blogspot.com. Lady Fingers and Trifle Custard are specifically intended for use in this recipe. "Prep time" includes making and cooling the custard. Some people like to decorate their trifle with toasted sliced almonds. You could also use a handful of left-over whole fruit. Or – just leave plain. As soon as you..."

Ingredients: amaretti cookies, Grand Marnier...

"Using a store bought Creme Caramel, I love these occasionally but have always found them a bit, "was that it?" disappointing when they're all gone so quickly. I had a somewhat bashed very ripe peach to eat amongst my stocks of fruit and this was the most amazing and incredibly toffee-licious dessert I've ever had. Produced in about..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, plain fat-free yogurt...

"My favourite trifle - so pretty in a cut-crystal trifle bowl. If you've never had this lovely English dessert before, you're in for a treat. Great way to use up stale poundcake too."
