Eve’s pudding is a quintessential yet often forgotten autumn dessert, uniting the best of British baking, comfort food, and seasonal indulgence.

Soft, golden, and fragrant, this classic apple sponge pudding captures the nostalgic heart of English home cooking.

Food for thought this weekend:

A luscious hymn to the Yorkshire pudding’s emancipation, calling for an end to the barbarous exclusion that has long kept it shackled to beef.

Let me know what you think!

A sweet piece for a dreary Tuesday:

On the Bourdaloue tart, where Jesuit sermons, Haussmannian geometry, and the fragile perfection of pears converge in a single, enduring artefact of Parisian taste.

I need help too:

What's your favourite autumnal pear recipe? I want to hear them all.

A piece for Sunday:

On the modern meal’s descent into a ledger of indignities, where culinary completeness is rationed, the humble fry becomes a matter of moral philosophy, and diners are subjected to the relentless nickel-and-diming of a la carte absurdity.

Burgers without fries? Hell no.

A little something for the end of the week:

The story of how Paris conjured lightning from choux and cream, turning a fragile baton of pastry into a jewel of desire, a proclamation of modernity, and an edible hymn to fleeting splendour.

Let me know what you think!

This week’s long read: a celebration of autumnal excess. Think bruised medlars and luminous quinces, hedgerows stained with blackberries, and the sumptuousness of falling light.

A recent rhubarb soufflé I devoured. Tall, trembling, and just beginning to crack at the top. A scoop of vanilla-scented custard ice cream offered a delicious contrast to the hot pudding. And for extra oomph - a coulis, electric pink and sherbet-sour that flickered across the tongue like static.

When did restaurants get so dark? I ask this question in this week's long-read. Do you find yourself squinting to read menus? Does dingy lighting prevent you from enjoying food to its full extent?

A subject close to my heart for this week's long read. How forced rhubarb came to represent the very best of Yorkshire's identity.

Asparagus spears, wrapped in prosciutto, then roasted in a devilishly hot oven until the gloriously green spears soften and the Italian ham crisps up. Served with a terrifically fresh mint dressing, sour with lemon and heady with herbs that cut through the fattiness of the proshoot perfectly. #food
