The change in weather has made Simon crave flavours of home... He is particularly inspired by a memoir by food writer Nigel Slater.

It's a nostalgic one as it gets cold, the palate craves comfort. Not unlike Yumi's foster dog, who craves ATTENTION and tries to get it during the recording of today's episode! LOL.

TREACLE TART

Blind bake some pre-bought shortcrust pastry that you've rolled out in a 23cm tart tin until golden.

Allow to cool.

Meanwhile loosen 400g golden syrup by warming it gently. Then add in 100g fresh breadcrumbs and 2tbs lemon juice and zest of a lemon.

Mix then pour it into the pastry shell.

Bake until set - around 25 - 35 mins on 180C.

Serve warm in modest slices with some beautiful stone fruit on the side.
