Pear, Mincemeat & Ginger Crumble

‘The most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking: love for those you are cooking for’ Sophia Loren

Cooking needed be flirtatious or fancy, it just needs two things: good ingredients & love, the rest will come together itself.

A humble crumble is the key to someone’s heart, the unctuous spiced filling topped with the crunchiest of toppings…the best bit, that slightly crunchy, slightly gooey meniscus that separates the two, nothing comes close to that mouthfeel.

Make it, inject it with love and enjoy…

savour every, last mouthful…

Be sure to save some for loved ones….

Because cooking with love is cooking from the heart..
