crème brûlée is probably the most popular dessert in restaurants and pubs across the UK, but I want you to see how simple it is to make your own crème brûlée at home. All crème brûlée is, is an egg and vanilla custard baked very gently in a bain-Marie (Mary's bath), when it is chilled sprinkled with a little sugar and caramelised usually with a blow torch or under a grill or broiler.
I like to serve a crème brûlée with something crispy like shortbread biscuit or puff pastry crisps, I do hope you will give my crème brûlée recipe a try.

lemon tart a luxurious lemon cream filled pastry, the history of lemon tart is not well known, my little research suggests that the origin would be the south of France in the 18th or 19th century when lemons were first grown.
Some suggest that it could be inspired by the Florida classic key lime pie, who knows? Either way this lemon tart recipe uses a blind baked sweet pastry case, with the lemon cream filling baked slowly in the pastry case which differs from a lemon curd tart, where the lemon curd is cooked separately and poured into the pastry case.

pear and almond tart, frangipane and seasonal spiced pears baked in a crumbly short pastry case. Pear and almond tart and me go way back, I first made this in a really posh French restaurant in Bath Somerset. But this is more of a bistro dessert in my opinion as it is super simple and rustic. Also if you are on a gluten free diet just omit the pastry or make a gluten free pastry as the almond sponge is just amazing and you will not feel like your getting a substitute pudding. Serve pear and almond tart cold warm or hot, with cream ice cream or custard doesn't matter because pear and almond tart is amazing!
