I've made a banana loaf cake for as long as I can remember flavouring it with orange zest, cinnamon & ginger - a sort of Jamaican theme - but it wasn't until NigelSlater decided to add chocolate chips to his version that it really became a hit in our house
I’m never one to pass up the opportunity to bake and share a cake, so my offering for the picnic was a summer fruits cake based on this recipe by NigelSlater
Even NigelSlater agrees it is the best time of year. And this bake, adapted from a Peaches and Cream UpsidedownCake by last year's winner of The Great British Bake Off, Edd Kimber fits the Autumnal theme perfectly
This tasty Mackeral, Bacon and New Potato Salad comes to us from Jacqueline over at How to be a Gourmand via NigelSlater so with a pedigree like that you just know this is good
and swooping in at the last minute is lovely Lou from Please Do Not Feed The Animals with her addition to a cheese-fest with these GORGEOUS cheese, bacon and apple muffins randomly selected to NigelSlater's Kitchen Diaries II
