Vanilla Panna Cotta with Rhubarb Compote
This creamy, soft panna cotta speckled with vanilla bean pairs perfectly with a tangy sweet rhubarb compote. A simple and easy dessert to put together but one that you won’t forget. Forced rhubarb in it’s beautiful pink hues, needs to be used at every opportunity while it’s in season. A delight to serve at the dinner table.
Thyme-Infused Lemon Posset
A posset is the perfect balance of light citrus flavours and rich indulgent cream. Since the only setting agent in these is the lemon juice, the cream holds its shape but stays nice and soft. It just melts in the mouth.
Three Spring Recipes
Carrot cake screams ‘spring’ to me, and by adding some golden caramel into the frosting, you have a classic with a twist that (trust me) you’ll keep reaching for. It’s also worth taking advantage of dried and fresh edible flowers right now to give your desserts an elegant and unique finish that looks really impressive. And for those of you hosting this weekend, a pavlova is the perfect dessert to prepare ahead of time; simply assemble its parts when you’re ready to plate. They’re also the ideal blank canvas for vibrant rhubarb while it's in season. Finally, in those moments of downtime, I’ll be relaxing with a moreish honey madeleine alongside an afternoon cup of tea.
