A recipe from ” The Hidden Hut” by Simon Stallard. Its good to make this in winter in the UK when crabs are usually both cheaper to buy and richer in the brown meat which makes this dish rich and flavoursome. Two whole crabs will give you about the right amount of crabmeat for this dish.
An easy muffin recipe from ” Nigella Bites” by Nigella Lawson. Split them while still warm and smear with unsalted butter, adding marmalade, jam or honey if you like.
A rich flourless chocolate cake from ” Old Food” by Jill Dupleix. She adapted it from a recipe by Elizabeth David in ” French Provincial Cooking”.
