Almond & Honey Cakes
250 g Sweet flan pastry
Butter, for the tart tin
Flour, for the tart tin
20 g Apricot jelly, for glazing

FILLING

125 g Sugar
125 g Slivered almonds
90 g Unsalted butter
35 g Honey
2 tbsp Double cream
50 g Crystallised fruits chopped
Kirsch


(Units: 100 g = 3 1/2 oz; 1 dl = 3 1/2 fl oz = 2/5 cup; 180 oC = 350 oF;
200 oC = 400 oF; 230 oC = 450 oF; 250 oC = 475 oF; 2.5 cm = 1 inch)

Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 200 oC. Butter and flour a tart tin with a removable
base 22 cm in diameter.

Roll out the pastry to fit the tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry and
prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake it for 10 minutes at the
bottom of the pre-heated oven. Leave the pastry shell in the tin.

Cooking:

Lightly brush a thin layer of apricot glaze over the bottom of the pastry
shell.

Put all the remaining ingredients for the filling into a saucepan and heat
them gently, stirring to mix them well as they melt.

Raise the oven to 210 oC. When the filling is melted, spread it in a thin
layer on the glazed pastry shell.

Cook it for about 15 minutes: it is ready when the filling begins to
bubble.

Leave the cake to cool in its tin, then take it out.

Serving:

Cut the cake into little triangles or rectangular pieces. Serve them with
coffee, like 'petits fours'.

Serves: 8

Dieting made easy

If you really want to shed a few pounds and better your overall wellbeing, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared healthy meal plan. Ideally, this ought to contain 5 standard portions of fruit & veg per day and also require an appropriate proportion of protein, carbs and fat.

When devising a daily routine, the most important step is to also make efforts to decrease intake of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

Dieters most certainly direct your attention to supermarket and brand name products referred to as 'low fat'. To do this is frequently wrong, given that an item can be reduced in fats, but whilst still remaining elavated in calories and carbs.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Sometimes during a hectic morning, you have an idea that you are peckish when actually you just need a healthy tumbler of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are much the same, albeit one can lead to weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.

Instead of paying too much attention to those food types that you ought to leave out of your meal plan, focus on the recommended foods that you might want to introduce to your meal plan. If you can insert the recommended amount healthy grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that stop feeling hungry and have a far reduced chance of being tempted by those detrimental between meals snacks.
