Carrot Parsnip and Pecan Cake

We combined various recipes to make what we think is the best treat to bake in lockdown, Carrot Parsnip and Pecan Cake. It’s moist but not too dense, sweet but not too sickly and it’ll distract you for an afternoon without being too tricky to pull off.

Classic Scones

A warm scone, evenly parted with your hands, liberally smeared with butter and jam and then dolloped with cream – it never gets old.

Poached Quince

Wherein fragrant quinces in the kitchen are slowly poached, and become a pot of ruby red magic.

Apple and Vanilla Yoghurt Cake

Whether it’s our fresh Hazeldean apples or a bucket of pears you gleaned from the verge nearby, it’s certainly a good time for baking a cake like this.  May it calm the nerves and be a meditative task for the hands and heart.
