Potato and Almond Bake
Potato and Almond Bake

My almond-and-potato dauphinoise (fancy name for a cream-based potato bake) is a firm favourite and I wish all chefs would put as much love into cooking as Elaine did when she made this for our recipe test and photo shoot.  Hands-down it’s the best daupinoise I have ever eaten.  It has the perfect balance of crunch to creaminess. Elaine and I have a love affair with potatoes which means we could never go on the Banting diet. Potatoes and almonds help relieve headaches so I know what I’ll do when next I feel one of those coming on.

Chocolate Tart with Raisins
Chocolate Tart with Raisins

It will take some serious chocolate-tart recipe to surpass my chocolate tart with raisins, and remember there’s no reason to change a recipe unless you can add, considerably, to the flavour.  Those with high blood pressure will be pleased to know that dark chocolate as well as raisins help reduce this condition.

Banana Smarties
Banana Smarties

If you are having a problem sleeping then bananas should form part of your dessert option.  Give me a whole banana any day but a mushy banana is a ‘no-go’ for me. I do, however, enjoy banana white-chocolate ganache. In the past I made tiny Smartie-sized bites which we covered in hand-tempered chocolate and served to accompany a dessert. For home consumption I suggest eating it by the spoonful.
