I recently managed to get an old recipe book off my mum which had been misplaced for many years. I’ve been asking her to find it because it had all the recipes I remembered from my childhood. It was one of those little books that you fill in yourself which had lots of recipes my grandmothers and family friends had collected.
I took a class with Richard Bertinet a few years ago and we were tasting his frangipane which was seasoned with lots of rum – it took me right back to the taste of this dessert. I’ve finally been able to remake it and it still tastes exactly as I remember. My mum is definitely my inspiration for baking, without those early memories of sitting on the counter top stirring, licking spoons or playing with bits of pastry I doubt I would be where I am today.
