  • Pavlova with Berries 2 h 5 min 29 min

    Pavlova with Berries

    A crisp-shelled, marshmallow-soft meringue piled with whipped cream and fresh berries, the celebration dessert of Australia and New Zealand. Bake the base ahead and assemble just before serving. Adapted from “Pavlova” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Gave amounts for the cream, powdered sugar and fruit; the sugar is beaten in gradually rather than folded, and the meringue cools in the switched-off oven, as the source's notes suggest.

  • Crème Brûlée 4 h 3 min 25 min

    Crème Brûlée

    Silky vanilla custard baked gently in a water bath, chilled, then finished with a layer of sugar caramelised until it cracks under the spoon. Adapted from “Crème Brûlée III” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Doubled to 4 ramekins with vanilla as the flavouring and less sugar on top (1 tbsp per ramekin); the water bath now comes halfway up the ramekins.

  • Rich Walnut Brownies 1 h 10 min 20 min

    Rich Walnut Brownies

    Dense, deeply chocolatey brownies made with unsweetened baking chocolate and studded with chopped walnuts. One bowl, one small tin.

  • French Crêpes 1 h 3 min 30 min

    French Crêpes

    Thin, lacy Breton pancakes from a simple batter of flour, eggs and milk. Eat them the classic way with butter, sugar and a squeeze of lemon, or fill them with anything you like. Adapted from “Crêpes I” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Flour corrected from 220 g to 125 g to match the source's 1 cup and give the thin batter it describes; resting time set to at least 30 minutes.

    Eggs gently set in a pan of tomatoes, sweet red pepper, chile and plenty of garlic, all warmed by paprika. Bring it to the table in the pan with bread for mopping up. Adapted from “Shakshuka I” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Oil halved to 3 tbsp; added a 10-minute simmer so the tomatoes thicken before the eggs go in, and a lid to set the whites. Parsley moved from the notes into the recipe. Photo: Calliopejen1, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons (“Shakshuka by Calliopejen1”).
