If you make this you are in for a treat!
I first came across this recipe when I was 11 😅 during the weekly cooking class in high school. There was a dairy cookbook for sale and it was my first cookbook I ever owned. It had a huge number of recipes, mainly French in nature and over the years I made several dishes with Pan Haggerty and creme brûlée being the ones I still make to this day. The book is now certainly worse for wear but still remains in my collection of books.
This is a very modest dish, a layered concoction of meltingly soft potatoes and onions, with umami cheesy flavour coming from the cheese.
The browned top and caramelised potatoes on the bottom of the pan are the best parts of this dish and often fought over 😂

I like to serve this with baked beans, comfort food at its best!
It’s remained a firm family fave over the years. Do give it a go!

Lemon & Elderflower Cake 🍋🍰💛

After a drought of many many months I finally baked again.
Not sure why I stopped baking or posting in general, I certainly didn’t stop cooking; it was a combination of kids not visiting so often, trying to stick to a healthy diet (more hubby than me! 😅) and a general ‘can’t be bothered’ malaise, which all contributed to less interesting dinner choices and no extra baking just for fun!

Anyway I’m back and am now going to post more often and really focus on this website!

So for this cake, ever since Prince William and Kate got married I was intrigued by their chosen wedding cake flavour of Elderflower and lemon cake so I thought I’d try it.

Firstly, irrespective of, if you try this cake in its entirety or not, the sponge recipe alone deserves noting down.

In all my years of baking I have never made such a gorgeous sponge. It was light and airy but had a real weight of proper cake and good flavour.

The overall lemon & elderflower combo was definitely a hit, I really enjoyed the floral notes of the elderflower

Use any brand; the weight may vary, but either way you'll have enough to work with.

The potatoes are so good…crispy with soft fluffy interior and have a tasty chill garlic kick. I can eat the lot in one sitting.
I used rosemary in this recipe but you can omit altogether or replace with thyme or oregano.
