"This was a quick throw it together Sunday Lunch pudding idea - raid the freezer for all the nearly used bags of frozen summer fruits, such as cherries, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, bilberries (blueberries), blackberries and strawberries. Fling them all into an ovenproof gratin dish; whizz up a shortbread crumble topping - and Bob's..."

Ingredients: frozen fruit, plain flour...

"This is the most requested dessert in our Chambres d'Hotes; I like to make it quite tart and lemony, with creme fraiche, instead of thick double cream - plus I like it to be baked until just set and with a wobble! This is great served with a drizzle of cassis for an elegant finishing touch, plus a sprig of mint. If you are not a great lover of..."

Ingredients: creme fraiche, eggs...

"In the UK, we have a famous old rhyme and ditty that goes like this...."Apple pie without cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze"!!

"This authentic recipe is from a small fishing village in Brittany France, and makes up a huge amount (about 100 galettes) which are like crepes but for savoury fillings.

The recipe is from a local restaurant so use the CHANGE feature to scale the amounts down to your needs.

Do try and use real buckwheat flower. Hard to find but..."

"This is one of our family traditions that has been passed down from generation to generation. My cousin Tammy and her Mom have made the best for years so no one has really attempted it - until the family gatherings slowed down and I found the recipe. Guess I may have to try my hand at it -these really are to die for!! **crust prep time not included..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, pastry dough...

"One of the mainstay recipes of Nanny's culinary repertoire for Nursery puddings, a classic British baked Jam Roly Poly - you cannot beat it! And, not just for children either, but "big" children, especially men love this pudding with lashings of custard! This pudding can be steamed as well as baked, but I much prefer the baked version..."

Ingredients: jam, golden syrup, cold water...

"This is a very old English pumpkin pie recipe from Norfolk in East Anglia; it would have been known as Norfolk million pie - million being the old English word for a melon, marrow, pumpkin or any kind of gourd or squash. Please note, this is not the same as most of the modern North American pumpkin pie recipes, but is based on the original recipe from..."

"I got this recipe off of the internet when I was looking for a recipe for apple dumplings to make for DH who had never had them before. I thought this worked wonderfully, but I would like to preface the recipe by saying that I used ingredients that I had on hand instead of the shortening and milk so my pastry was much much stickier than it should..."

"A traditional English cottage garden gooseberry crumble, but with lavender added; lavender goes so well with gooseberries, which are one of my favourite fruits. My grandparents used to specialise in numerous varieties of goosberries - and, I remember playing amongst the bushes when I used to go and stay with them, in their very old cottage in Northumberland,..."

Ingredients: demerara sugar, gooseberries...

"This apple pie is really easy to make and has a delicious balance of sweet, tart and spiced flavours, incorporating a delicious German Apfelstrudel (Apple Strudel) smell and flavour which will evoke memories of the Weihnachtsmarkts (Christmas markets) in Germany for anyone who has been.

This fantastic pie and Crème Anglaise sauce..."

Ingredients: white balsamic vinegar, fresh chives...

"I saw this recipe on 'The People's Cookbook’. It was sent in by a Scottish lady and I believe that the recipe was her late mother’s. It won its dessert heat, and quite deservedly so. It’s a delicious mix of buttery pastry and currants, with a secret ingredient to keep it wonderfully moist. It’s a winner in my house!"

Ingredients: ground mixed spice, currants...
