"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..."

"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 the recipe I use for sweet tarts requiring a rich short crust. It can be made by hand or with a food processor and makes enough dough for an 11" tart. If making a smaller tart be sure you still roll the dough out to an 1/8" thickness. This recipe cannot be halved successfully. If at any time the dough becomes unworkable, refrigerate..."

"This is a (slighty tweaked) recipe from Mariette Crafford, a South African food writer. It's the best shortcrust pastry I've ever tasted.

The cornstarch (known as cornflour here) practically..."
