Poached red wine pear tart with almond filling on sucrée pastry

You wouldn’t drink cheap plonk so why use it for baking? Opt for aged red wine for this recipe to poach the pears. You get best results using Packham pears from South Africa as they still retain a firm texture after cooking.

Banana cake with gula melaka butterscotch

Instead of brown sugar, try gula melaka—go for a pure, unadulterated version that has not been mixed with white sugar—for a richer fragrance. To achieve a hard and crusty cake surface, bake only on the day that you are serving this as bananas tend to get soggy in the fridge due to contact with moisture.
