It’s picnic weather. Go out and enjoy the weather and let us worry about the food. All you need is a blanket. We’ll take care of the rest. Bespoke picnics in a box. Fully recyclable boxes and cutlery. Drinks in cans or glass.

Ants and rain? Methinks the British are very stoic about those.

We did a post wedding brunch for a lovely bride at Huntsham Court Country House, Devon last Wednesday. What’s day it was. Lovely venue, lovely guests.

Hint for the day. Make a big batch of crumble topping and keep it in the freezer for when you need a quick dessert. Just add fruit, any fruit will do. Sprinkle with sugar to taste, add a generous layer of crumble and bake at 180° for 30-45 minutes.

Easy to remember recipe for very tasty crumble topping. All quantities by weight, not volume.

1 part oats
2 parts Demerara sugar
3 part butter
4 parts plain flour.

Blitz together the butter and flour until you have a small crumbed mixture.
Stir in the sugar and oats.
That’s it

I usually add some spice to the mixture, depending on what’s underneath. Cinnamon or cloves for apple, orange rind for rhubarb and mixed spice for plums.

The mix won’t clump together in the freezer, it can be easily scooped out. Why not freeze some fruit raw when here is a glut for use in winter.

Triple chocolate Bundt cake. Dense and moist and chocolaty. Ideal for a rule of six tea party as there will be 2 slices each. There’s more to life than chocolate but not much. Besides, Lent is over.

The hot cross buns are made for the morning. Slow proving in the fridge to go in the overs first thing for breakfast tomorrow. Can’t wait.

In case you were wondering, the crosses only go on before they go in the oven
