    "Scrummy! my Daughter made this for Sunday lunch and it was a real triumph. Moist and so light, the hazelnut flavour was delicious and the contrast with the soft fruit and dense chocolate was a marriage made in heaven. Thoroughly recommended."

    "delicious recipe, slightly sticky with gorgeous flavours. A huge success and will make it again. I used Taste the Difference Figs from Sainsburys and they had a really good flavour, better than fresh which sometimes are not ripe enough."

    "What's the "make ahead" element to this then? do you make the sponge layers and freeze them then finish on the day? still sounds like a time consuming option I have to say."

    "Oh Yes, have to agree with all comments already made. Having tried various brownie recipes, including ones with hugely expensive lists of ingredients, this is "the Best"! I substited walnuts for the chocolate chunks as I fancied a nutty texture. Absolutely delicious."

    Raspberry tart with almond pastry

    Tested

    "Lyn - forget trying to thicken creme fraiche ! a simple creme patissiere under the raspberries is to easy to make and would be much more authentic and successful. 3oz (75g) caster sugar 2 eggs 2oz(50g) flour 1/4 pint (450ml) milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract heat the milk. Whisk the eggs and sugar until blended (a hand whisk does this perfectly adequately) Add the flour. Pour over the boiled milk slowly, whisking all the time. Return the whole lot to the heat and heat very gently to avoid "catching". The custard will thicken and should just cook enough to not be "floury". Add the vanilla and allow the cool for a while before spreading on the base of your tart. So simple yet gorgeous! Have a go next time and see how it works. Sally "
