Serves 8Individual Pecan Pies
Once on a holiday in New England, I found it very hard to order any dessert other than pecan pie. Since then I have loved to try out all the different variations of this classic - and this one here achieves, I feel, just the right degree of moist sti
Serves 4 as a main courseKipper Quiche
A less frugal version of this can be made for a special occasion by substituting 1/2 pint (275ml) cream for the milk.
Serves 6-8The Fastest Blackberry and Apple Tart

Serves 6Roquefort Cheese and Apple Strudel with Spiced Pickled Pears
In this strudel I have used two cheeses: Roquefort, which is a sheep’s cheese, and to go with it is a mild goat’s cheese. The apple inside is not meant to cook through but to remain crunchy. This, together with walnuts, leeks and celery, makes a won
