Something to give us a little break from the Bake Off posts so far.. we had friends round for Sunday roast and I made a peach and rhubarb crumble for pudding, so here’s the recipe!
Bake Off 2015: Week Four – Desserts
This week’s Bake Off theme was just up my street, who doesn’t love desserts? It also meant that I could try my hand at making creme brûlée, another thing that’s been on my ‘to make’ list for a long time. I have to say, I’m quite pleased with how they turned out (mostly!) and they weren’t as difficult as I had initially thought. Continue reading “Bake Off 2015: Week Four – Desserts”
