MEETS NEW
VINTAGE
SPEND AN AUTUMN EVENING BY THE SEA-
SIDE TUCKED UP IN WONDERFUL WOOLEN
THROWS TO KEEP YOU ALL WARM
Hurrah for the colder weather! The nights are drawing in
and there is a definate chill in the air .. . which provides the per-
fect excuse to snuggle up outdoors under a warm throw, catch-
ing the very last of summer sunshine as the new season arrives.
Gather up your family and friends and head to the beach this
half term for a picnic by the sea.
“Bread and butter pudding has long
been the, erm, bread and butter of
British desserts. We wanted to bring
a fresh twist to this classic favourite.
We’ve used a brioche instead of a
plain bread to give it a rich, buttery
sweetness - Its also suprisingly light
- then we’ve smoothered it with a
toffee apple sauce. A little goes a
long way with this one . . . “
