Have a jar or two of Candied Quinces in your larder, some whipped cream or ice cream and you’ll have a delicious dessert on the table in an instant. Or use them, as we’ve done, in our Quince and Almond Cream Cake, or our Candied Quince and Ricotta Cake. Try replacing the rhubarb with Candied Quinces in our Rhubarb, Orange and Almond Tart ….
I make a lovely honey mousse – yes, I know I shouldn’t be saying it myself – but it has a really luscious but melting texture..
n the lead-up to a wedding in the family, (catering for a completely gluten-free reception for 40 people, but more of that later) my husband came home with some shopping, beaming, because he’d managed to score 14 punnets of beautiful strawberries for $7.50...

Yet we’ve observed that there is little on offer for the vegetarians amongst us, particularly amongst the gluten-free suggestions ....
The chicken rolls in this recipe can be stuffed the day before and stored in the fridge. All other ingredients can be thrown together in no time. The potatoes are already cooked and can be 'par browned' in the oven before the chicken goes in and, while the chicken is resting, popped back in to finish browning.
