Puddings take many of us back to childhood – and Rachel has put together a scrumptious selection that will wow dinner party guests and get your family demanding ‘seconds’.
Rachel’s favourite? Probably a toss between the Rhubarb & Stem Ginger Fool and the Chatsworth Raspberry Bakewell Tart which she inherited from Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire. Sadly not ‘the original’ Bakewell Pudding recipe from the Derbyshire town of Bakewell – apparently that’s a closely-guarded secret. But Rachel is convinced that the Chatsworth recipe is pure, utter, indulgent Bakewell heaven!
