A recipe

I don't often do this, but my blog title demands such an entry. Here is a recipe for my latest invention. Inspired by a Nigella recipe and my brother, Benji's recent veggie growing success with his gorgeous girlie, Heather, I decided to make this. It is a cross between Banana Bread, Carrot Cake and something you might eat as part of a detox.....Eaten whilst warm, sitting in front of the fire, watching scarved and hatted passers-by stare longing through the window, makes this cake even more beautiful. Yum yum yum.....
