Gypsycake
"This is a slightly different take on gypsy tart that we used to get for school dinner desert when I was a child. the top may crack in which case covering the top with sliced apple not only covers the cracks but gets somer fruit into the sweet-toothed small people in your life.Make in conjunction with family fun cheesecake and windfall cake for a special high tea.Its what Sunday afternoons were made for."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a partially disabled(cant use left hand)mother of 3 who likes to provide an interesting,tasty,varied and healthy diet to her family . My love of food began when I gave up breastmilk. alltime favourites would be indian and Italian whilst I enjoy all good food.I adapt many recipes to suit a tight budget whilst never allowing the taste to suffer.I cook in large quantities and freeze for quality ding dinners.I think its vital to involve children in cooking. Call it play when they peel veg if you like but I firmly believe in offering a fun and educational lifeskill(they can peel veg at 3 years of age )I love to cook with Analon pans but sometimes find them too heavy to move.Would love to hear from other one handed food lovers.
