Great meal moments with non-great meal images (I) Circa 2008–2010

The Birdcage — Free supper, Sour Wine, Snimky, Tatiana.


Bow — Such days, 12:30pm, GG


Lower Clapton — First non-vegetarian meal, Adrian & Sara



Evelyn House — No one
makes Sticky Toffee Pudding
like Sarah does.
No-bo-dy
(recipe stolen from Nigel Slater)
-
For the pudding
150g dates, stones removed, chopped
250ml hot water
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
60g butter, softened
60g caster sugar
2 free-range eggs
150g self-raising flour
-
For the toffee sauce
200g butter
400g brown sugar
vanilla pod, split
250ml double cream
-
Preheat the oven to 180C. Mix the dates, bicarbonate of soda and the water together in a bowl and leave to soak for ten minutes. In a clean bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
(we are lazy and do it with the electrical whisk, you have to keep going until it has almost turned white - a bit of patience is needed) Still stirring the butter mixture, gradually add the eggs, making sure they are well mixed in. Still stirring (yup lots of stirring), gradually add the flour, then add the date mixture. Pour the mixture into a 20cm/8in square cake tin. Place into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through
(handy trick: you can stick a match in the cake, if it comes out covered in dough it needs to cook for a bit longer).
-
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a thick bottomed pan over a medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, vanilla pod and cream and stir well. Simmer for five minutes.
(In our experience there's N E V E R enough sticky toffee sauce, we are considering making double next time)
To serve, spoon out a portion of the pudding onto a plate and pour over the hot toffee sauce. E A T !
