“This is one of my favourite quick desserts – it’s a hand-me-down recipe from a very dear family friend who is a fabulous cook,” says chef Monica Galetti. “Pam is one of those amazing people whose house you never want to leave. She cooks everything from scratch, she’s always happy to serve up another plate no matter how many people are there and she always has a pudding. I almost don’t want to share this recipe, it’s so good – perhaps I should just keep it to myself?”
