Squished apple tart

Pastry, caramelised apple and ice cream is a combination that’s pretty hard to beat. This is more or less a fine apple tart but the apple becomes almost like an apple-sauce topping. It’s delicious.
Vanilla custard and burnt-toffee tart
Dessert

Vanilla custard and burnt-toffee tart

This crème brûlée-inspired tart is the ultimate in sweet decadence, with its crunchy burnt-toffee topping and oozy vanilla custard filling. Serve chilled or just-caramelised for a satisfying crack and silky inner.
Pear tarte Tatin
Dessert

Pear tarte Tatin

A tarte Tatin is fast, simple and always a pleasure to eat. For this pear version, we’ve poached the pears quickly to infuse them with flavour, and to help soften any that are underripe. Enjoy for a sweet and indulgent dessert.
Rhubarb galette
Dessert

Rhubarb galette

We’ve had fun here with a herringbone pattern on the tart, but you can place the rhubarb in a variety of ways. Try longer strips, or just short pieces spread loosely for a more rustic approach.

Speck and cheese toasties with gribiche

There’s no denying the appeal of a cheesy, crunchy toasted sandwich, and this recipe certainly delivers. Filled with smoked speck, gouda and comté, and slathered with homemade gribiche, this toastie is one for the ages.
