Glad you like, as an alternative to using the eggs and then being left with 5 egg whites (which usually end up getting whisked into meringues) substitute with some whipped double cream and icing sugar to taste, and carefully fold into the mascarpone.

Black cherries from a tin usually come in lots of juice, for a non-alcohol/caffeine version ideal for kids, use the juice to make a jelly set over over the sponge fingers instead of the coffee/alcohol mixture.

I also decorate with cherries and chocolate shavings to give it more of a retro Black Forest Gateau look...


ETA...add some cherries to the jelly mixture, and make the night before to give it time to set properly

Clafoutis is easy and adaptable and not over sweet .You can add any fruit - I like cherries or apricots ,soaked in brandy or not . Make in ramekins or some kind of pie/lasagna dish .


And i've seen this


Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Clafoutis: Melt 1 cup chopped milk chocolate in a large mixing bowl set above a simmering pot of water. Fold in the clafoutis batter until smooth and fully incorporated. Pour into a skillet or pie plate, sprinkle with 1/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, and bake.



suggested ,doesn't appeal to me but ...

Panettone Baked Alaska


Cut the 'lid' of the panettone off

Take the insides out leaving a wall of panettone

Fill with ice cream of your choice

Put lid back on

Make meringue, thickly cover the whole of panettone

Whack in a very hot oven for a few minutes till meringue has gone slightly brown......delicious !!!


You can make one big one or buy little panettone and have individual ones

That sounds pretty good. Panettone bread+butter pudding is also nice, and is reasonably christmassy. Especially if you slosh a bit of brandy over the panettone first.


Apple (or pear) and mincemeat crumble is a good one.


And I'm a big fan of the classic sherry trifle (you really need at least 1 cold and 1 hot dessert with Christmas dinner!)

I?ve done both the shortbread stars and the red wine tiramisu from this Ottolenghi article (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/dec/03/yotam-ottolenghi-sweet-treats-festive-table) - they were fairly straightforward once you got going. I?m attempting his clementine and chestnut trifle this year!

My greedy eyes have spotted that if you make the Cherry Tiramisu you can then use the left over whites for the Baked Alaska*, and then use the left over Pannettone to make a Bread & Butter pudding...Dessertastic :)


*You can get Mince Pie ice cream for a more Christmassy taste...https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/sainsburys-mince-pie-dairy-ice-cream--taste-the-difference-500ml?langId=44&storeId=10151&krypto=MC%2FgQ4bF6ksUh%2F6DMBkiAUCAm7Fcow7KH3QLgndBjpw0IBFF20WuPjyVkoE%2B2lf2rT7HOVoLrGYp4v7aNHC8I80WK4Vf8J2Ffr1uNubacU%2B%2BQij%2Bc1GOYmtTlUlrtNjA&ddkey=https%3Agb%2Fgroceries%2Fsainsburys-mince-pie-dairy-ice-cream--taste-the-difference-500ml

    • What do you need a solicitor for? What advice do you/they need? Only the courts or the tenants can end a tenancy, the landlord can only require possession. If it is a section 21 that is a "no fault" eviction,  meaning the landlord simply wants their property back vacant. If it is a section 8 it means the landlord requires possession because of rent arrears or some other kind of breach of the tenancy agreement. If there is no notice then it is potentially an illegal eviction. TBH the council are probably likely to advise they stay put until the courts evict them, but that could result in them being allocated emergency accomodation - which could be outside of Southwark and possibly a hotel room or hostel.  As you will be very much aware council housing is rarer than hens teeth in inner London so I would advise this family not to pin thejr hopes on that, they would better off trying to find somewhere more stable to rent privately.
    • If the eviction is coming through an agent, it’s unlikely to be an illegal eviction in which case a solicitor would be an expensive waste of money. Southwark council’s  housing department   gives free advice/help to private tenants. 02075254113
