My idea of Heaven

I have to admit to being a huge food lover so when I saw that there was a food festival just down the road from us I had to go. Finding information about it proved a little difficult but we headed along to the walled garden at Bedgebury Pinetum anyway. It cost £25 for myself [...]

Boozy Cherry & Chocolate Roulade

October 24, 2011

I’ve been making Mary Berry’s chocolate roulade for years and after seeing roulades being made on the Great British Bake Off wet my appetite once again.  I also saw a tin of mouthwatering morello cherries and immediately thought they would be a perfect addition to this rich but light, mouthwatering dessert.
