Ingredients

(serves 4)

For the cake • 50g beurre noisette, plus a couple of extra tablespoons for the mould (see cook’s tip) • 1 large Waitrose British Blacktail Free Range Egg • 30g golden syrup • 60g plain flour • 30g icing sugar, sifted • 10g caster sugar • 1 pinch of salt • 3g caraway seeds, toasted • 4g baking powder • 15ml whole milk

Heston Blumenthal’s Caraway Bath Cake Introduction

People assume that because my recipes are complex and rich in detail, they are impossible to replicate, but the truth about food is you can invest as much or as little as you like in the process, and even my recipes are based on simple concepts, so never feel afraid to try something different.

Method

Cook’s Tip To make the beurre noisette, melt unsalted butter over a gentle heat, whisking continuously until the solids turn golden brown and smell nutty.

Remove from the heat, strain the butter through a coffee filter and store in the fridge.

1. To make the bath cakes, preheat the oven to 190˚C, gas mark 5. Brush the inside of a 9-hole madeleine mould with some of the beurre noisette and set aside.

2. In the meantime, using a

stand-up mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the egg and the golden syrup until thick and light in colour. Reduce the speed and sprinkle in the flour, both sugars, salt, caraway seeds and baking powder, continue to mix until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the cool beurre noisette and the milk.

3. Pour the batter into the prepared madeleine moulds halfway up and place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes.

Remove the tray from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.

For the chocolate crumb • 150g caster sugar • 70g white chocolate To finish • 100g Heston from Waitrose Chocolate Sauce 4. For the chocolate crumb, add the sugar and 75g water to a large pan, place over a medium high heat and allow the syrup to come up to 150˚C. 5. Now remove from the heat and add the white chocolate and continue to whisk. The chocolate will become foamy at first but keep whisking until it crystallizes.

Pour the crystallized chocolate onto a tray lined with parchment and allow to cool completely, crushing any clumps once cool.

6. To finish, melt the chocolate sauce according to pack instructions, allowing it to cool slightly. Using a spatula, cover half of the Bath cakes with a layer of the chocolate sauce.

Sprinkle some of the chocolate crumb on top. Chill until ready to serve.

Portsmouth Hospitals Charity makes a positive difference Portsmouth Hospitals Charity raises funds to make a positive difference for patients, their families and the staff who support their care. They fundraise to help improve facilities, purchase equipment and support research and innovation.

They are the charity partner of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, and work to support all wards and departments across Portsmouth Hospitals.

The charity funds a wide range of projects, from robotic surgery to eye masks for patients.

The Unit is very fortunate to have such a wonderful space for the children and their families to relax and enjoy the fresh air.

Last year they funded a new outside play area in the Paediatrics Department at Queen Alexandra Hospital. The area was designed to give younger patients a safe, outside space where they can play, socialise and develop skills alongside family and friends.

Tracey Thomas, department, said: to have such a children and their

Ward Manager in the “The Unit is very fortunate wonderful space for the families to relax and enjoy

This space is perfect for children to get some much-needed fresh air, away from a ward environment. the fresh air. Listening to the sound of the children playing in our beautiful garden has made all the fundraising efforts all the more worthwhile.”

Kate Sandys, Head of Portsmouth Hospitals Charity, said: “Our newly refurbished Paediatric garden looks wonderful. The whole area has benefitted from new shrubs and trees as well as a brand-new climbing frame and a large canopy for children to shelter from the sun, or the rain!

This space is perfect for children to get some much-needed fresh air, away from a ward environment. This is an excellent enhancement for our youngest patients, thanks to everyone who donated to Portsmouth Hospitals Charity to make this a reality.”

Big-time Books This month, three titles to look out for that are brimming with imagination and creativity.

The Comic Book Lesson by Mark Crilley (July 5th) This tutorial-styled book follows the story of Emily, an enthusiastic young comics fan and aspiring creator who has a story she needs to tell. A series of friends help her blend these teaching moments into a sweet, clever, and poignant story, with each lesson building off the previous information and skills presented.

The Comic Book Lesson is the follow-up to The Drawing Lesson,

by Illustrator and graphic novelist Mark Crilley.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (July 14th) Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987 and their love of video games becomes a shared world -- of joy, escape and fierce

competition.

When, eight years later, the pair spot each other in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment.

The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love - making games to delight, challenge and immerse players, as well as finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives.

The House of Fortune by Jessie Burton (July 7th) The sequel to Jessie Burton’s million-copy bestseller The Miniaturist.

In the golden city of Amsterdam, in 1705, Thea Brandt is turning

18, and she is ready to welcome adulthood with open arms, even if secrets from the past threaten to overwhelm the present.

The House of Fortune is a glorious, sweeping story of fate and ambition, secrets and dreams, and one young woman’s determination to rule her own destiny.

Summer Scorchers How to revive your garden after the long hot summer.

If you think you suffer from the heat as far as summer goes, think how that sun-baked fares without even so much as a dash of sun lotion.

Of course, any knowledgeable gardener will tell you it’s better to take action to protect your flora while the sun is out, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, and if by the time you get to late summer you realise the damage has already been done, there are at least a few techniques that will begin the restoration process for your beloved garden.

Following the guidelines below will give your green space a chance to repair before the bareness of autumn and shivering sensibilities of winter bring about altogether different challenges!

Water water water It’s the fuel that keeps your plants alive - water will

stimulate stems, fire up flowers and galvanise grass, but moderation is the key, and as we’ve all experienced in the past, overwatering is just as bad as underwatering.

So take an organised route to regular hydration in the garden, and gradually bring things back to life.

Nothing but a dirty grass Remove debris and dust to make the land as ready for replenishment as possible, with simple clearing away of organic residue exposing the ground to moisture and sunlight aplenty.

And if you have a composting area then all these swept-away bits can be used to bolster what will become a fertile store that can be then reintroduced into your flower beds and earth areas.

Cut back to move forward The more you mow, trim and prune, the quicker your greenery will spring back to life, so while a worthy exercise for the flora and fauna of your garden, you’ll undoubtedly feel enthused and enlightened at the renewed space you’ve created.

First-class fertiliser The best way to boost growth where your living matter is concerned is with an approved, high-quality fertiliser.

Research well and choose a fertiliser that matches your environmental conscience, remembering not to apply until growth is already well on its way, or you’ll simply end up scorching the earth.

Starting afresh And of course, the best way to get your garden humming again is to invest in it.

Consider plants, flowers and other additions that will suit the rustic autumn season to come.

An agent for change Why preservation of both people, and the planet, is the next venture for Amal Clooney.

“It means harmony and equilibrium between human and environmental factors are intrinsic to each other, so we have to be passionate about both.

“The pursuit of human rights is one that is intrinsically linked to the pursuit of the environment, because both are equally dependent on each other. If we are not at one with ourselves, we are never going to move forward into the next realm which is to look after the environment.

“My husband George inspires me in much the same way as he says I inspire him. If you care for someone, you invest in their passions and the drive to make change, and he has opened my eyes to another side to justice, for the planet, and I do cherish that.

“At the heart of everything we try to do, it comes down to communication, and within that I feel a part of us needs to relearn the art of compassion.

What has happened across the world in the last couple of years has provided real challenges and we need to stick together.”

“And when climate change itself is impacting the basics of what we have… when it is leading to flooding, unstable food supplies, drought, wildfires and hurricanes, then this, quite obviously, leads to a human crisis in the world, whereby all of these elements contribute to the increase in refugees around the world; they add to political instability that only compound the problem.

Come and enjoy the fun at the annual Ship Inn Raft Race, this year on Saturday 16 July, and the Lifeboat Station Open Day on Sunday 31 July.

The Ship Inn at Langstone once again is hosting and organising the Raft Race in aid of the Hayling RNLI Lifeboat Station. We are hoping that the works to renovate the Quay will be finished on the planned completion date of 24 June. So why not start designing your raft and come along with plenty of supporters to enjoy a fun spectacle. The race will take place after lunch as the high tide is at 14:30 but the festivities start well before that.

At the very end of the month the Lifeboat Station throws open its doors to invite you to come and enjoy Open Day on Sunday 31 July. You will be able to see the lifeboats launch and demonstrate their power and speed on three occasions at Midday, 13:00 and 14:00. Other emergency services are coming and there will be lots to interest you, refreshments to be had and RNLI merchandise to spend money on. So make a note in your diaries, we open at 11:00 and close the day at 15:30. See you there.

Money on my mind...the Martin Lewis column

He’s the UK’s leading money saving expert - a journalist and presenter who has kept millions of pounds in people’s pockets as well as lifting the lid on the threats and dangers we need to be aware of as consumers.

In this month’s column, Martin Lewis looks at keeping our money safe online.

When visiting a site, in the web address at the top, look for an ‘s’ after ‘http’ at the beginning of the line. The lack of an ‘s’ doesn’t directly imply you are on a scam website, but it is telling you that the security certificate is inadequate, and you should refrain from entering personal information.

Some browsers – Google Chrome being one – add a padlock icon denoting any website

that is fully secure, or the web address could be shown in green.

Also ask yourself if what’s being offered is realistic. On the internet, just as in real life, if something you see online appears too good to be true – particularly if you’ve clicked on an advert or had a pop-up appear on your screen – it probably is.

Next have a look for how well written and presented the site is. There is a very real correlation between the trustworthiness

of a site and the attention paid to spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Furthermore, if a site looks suspicious put its name into Google.

If it’s a known rogue business then there’s a good chance it’s being discussed across the web.

Finally, if you are purchasing online, use a credit card or trackback financial tool, such as PayPal. That way if something does go awry, you have the security of reclaiming your money.
