Recipe of the Week

Gorgeous Valentine’s gift causes a stir on social media!

Brownie Hearts

An almost too-pretty-to-eat recipe has caused quite a stir on social media!

 

The Brownie Hearts from the 2021 Dairy Diary have been appearing all over Instagram and Facebook, whipped-up by passionate foodies.

Now, I don’t think I can imagine anything more thoughtful than a handmade gift, whether that be a Valentine’s card from your not-so-secret-admirer, or delicious treats to enjoy.

The attention to detail and time that has been taken to craft or bake something, with me in mind is so special in my opinion.

Recipe of the Week: Chocolate Orange Panettone Buns

Chocolate Orange Panettone Buns

Many people took to baking during lockdowns this year, and it’s easy to see why

 

The slow, methodical process, with delicious results, is very therapeutic.

Add in the stress of getting everything ready for Christmas, and we all need something soothing to focus on.

Try these Chocolate Orange Panettone Buns from the 2021 Dairy Diary. Honestly, they are absolutely gorgeous; a really rewarding bake.

Treat yourself – you most definitely deserve it.

Recipe of the Week: Frying Pan Clafoutis

Frying Pan Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a baked French dessert

 

It is a speciality of the Limousin region. The name is said to come from the Occitan dialect word claufir, meaning to cover or fill.

Fruit, traditionally cherries, is arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick batter and cooked until only just set.

Our recipe – from A Zest for Life – uses autumnal fruit instead of cherries and adds a cheeky dash of Calvados. There are more delicious autumnal recipes in this month’s recipe collection.

Make the perfect Pimm's

There’s something delightfully civilised about serving a jug of Pimm’s

 

It always makes me feel summery and reminds me of village fetes and weddings, and sunshine.

There may be fewer summer events this year, but we can still enjoy a jug of this fruity cocktail.
