Elderflower fritters
With the recent spate of hot weather we've had, Elderflowers seem to be out early this year. With their delicate flavour - and short season - these fritters are a treat to savour.

Ice cream, coffee and almonds
Like fast cars and sunglasses, this is an Italian classic, ingeniously combining coffee and dessert in one.

Lemon meringue pie
My family’s culinary icon – there's nothing quite like seeing those sugary peaks fresh from the oven.

Lemon pudding
My mum and her mum (who lived with us), were formidable in the kitchen. It was like living with a Julia Childs double act.
Night after night, ox tail soup; prawn cocktail, queen of puddings, would miraculously appear. Sometimes I longed for a takeaway or TV dinners just to break the dinner table formality. But after a cooking marathon like that, day in, day out, who can blame them for insisting we sit down to eat?
And the puddings! This lemony surprise was always a winner. It separates into a spongy top with a hot lemony curd underneath.

Pancakes
This is one of those recipes that's been handed down through the generations. I remember my nanna cooking these, while I watched from the floor. And now, my 8 year old daughter makes them on her own.

Pavlova
Hey, I'm a New Zealander - we're a little possessive about our Pavlova! This one is based on one from our answer to Delia - the Edmonds "Sure to Rise" cookery book and makes a very traditional looking pav.

Tiramisu
My friend Gudren has become famous for her Tiramisu - so I've stolen her recipe. Her trick is not to over soak the sponge so that everything becomes gloopy.
