Viennese Pineapple Cake
This is a recipe my mother has made for as long as I can remember. It was always a favourite when I baked it for dinners at the British embassy in Paris during my stint there as a cook. The cake, baked with a crunchy meringue topping on a shortcake base, is sandwiched together with whipped cream and pineapple: a perfect combination of textures and tastes.
Vietnamese Crème Caramels
Crème caramels in Vietnam are often served with a twist on the French classic - they use some coconut milk in making the custard. They’re easy to make and very delicious!
