“This cake has a nutty, caramel-flavoured base, and is topped by a creamy, nutty filling. The texture is not really cake-like – it is more like a cross between a streusel and a pudding. It is moist and almost melt-in-the-mouth, while the edge of the cake is caramelised and crispy."

Competetive  prices and high quality produce in the Central Market go hand in hand. But , whats in season at this frosty time of year?  Winter is the time we crave those beautiful summer fruits but for me, the joy of winter fruit is the lemon.

From the sweet and sharp tang of a good lemon curd tart, to the delicious salty bite of the middle eastern preserved lemon, they are a joy.
