Join ellenor and sit down and tuck in to 'Family Feast Day' with your family and friends on Wednesday 16th September. Family Feast Day is a new ellenor fundraising campaign to raise money to help families facing terminal illness. Graham Perolls founded the Ellenor Foundation in 1985, inspired by a vision that those facing the end of life should have only the best care possible either at home, or as close to it as possible.
This chocolate and ginger loaf cake recipe from Paul A Young packs a real punch, with crystallised stem ginger and cardamom wonderfully offset by the sweet raisins and rich chocolate. The contents of the cake are soaked in Assam tea overnight before baking, giving the loaf a rich, complex flavour perfect for afternoon tea.
Congratulations to winner Steve Birkin (Mansfield).
There is nothing quite like a well brewed cup of tea to set the world to rights - a time honoured tradition that saw kettles up and down the country set to boil in time for a well deserved afternoon tea. A break from the steam of the afternoon, a hot cuppa to set you up for the rest of the day and a moment of leisure to be enjoyed with a biscuit or slice of cake.
We have all had that moment when, it doen't matter if it is a new recipe or a tried and tested favourite, for some reason this time something is just missing. We can't put our finger (or tastebuds) on it but we simply know the flavour needs.... a little 'something' extra. Now thanks to a Surrey company, we may just have found that missing link in the menu.
