Yes, I made the madeira cake, and yes, you make the custard - you could buy both, even MaryBerry in the original recipe countenances the possibility - but actually, I'm finding less and less time to tinker in the kitchen, and this was a welcome excuse to shut myself away, fiddle about, make a mess and create something lovely

I had a flick through the MaryBerry Baking Bible and spotted an Onion topped Focaccia and though I could tenuously red nose it up a bit with my own adaptation - Focaccia Bread with Red (NOSE) Onion and Balsamic Topping
