Last night we went to my parents' house to celebrate my mom's birthday because we won't be able to see them for her real birthday over the weekend. We were sitting out on their back porch enjoying some homemade ice cream (recipe to come soon!) and I realized how much I love just sitting on
This is what I make for my children’s birthday celebrations, for farewell suppers to send them off before they go away, and for the dinners to welcome them back when they come home again. It’s our family take on a traditional lasagne, though I’m not sure Italians would exactly welcome my deviations from the classical recipe. For one thing, I don’t make my own lasagne sheets; while I have in the past, I now routinely use dried ones out of a packet and, what’s more, I don’t boil them first. In order, then, to ensure they soften properly, I make a slightly more liquid meat sauce than is customary and, rather than have a covering of béchamel at the end, I finish with a layer of meat sauce, topped with chopped mozzarella on top. None of this is proper from a North Italian perspective, but the lasagne it yields is pleasure-giving and gratifyingly popular. I can’t say that this is exactly faff-free to make: but it is time-consuming rather than difficult. I adore pottering about the kitchen making it. What’s more, you can layer it up (bar the mozzarella topping) in advance (see notes) and bake when needed. And I make this even if there isn’t a whole tableful of people to eat it; I freeze leftovers in individual portions, to make for most superior ready-meals at a later date.

I had just come on for my shift at the Daily Mail when the news editor called me into the glass booth where he sat with his deputy. Two assistants manned switchboards, filtering out nutters. "Zwar, grab a cab to the palace. Find out what goes on with those horrible little dogs. How come they can bite her majesty?"
Both my children were born on the same day five years apart, so I like to make an elaborate dessert to celebrate the occasion. This seven-layered beauty really fits the bill.

Wedding cakes have become a decorative display - and many couples are bucking the tradition of a classic white tiered cake for cupcakes and even pork ...
Over the years, I’ve made many different cakes for my children’s birthdays, but for some time now this has been the chosen one, the cake of cakes, elected to celebrate many special occasions, and with good reason. The cake itself is dark, damp and divinely chocolatey — and an easy, melt-everything-in-the-pan number — but it's the icing that truly makes it, as my daughter says “the cake of dreams’. It’s a simple enough buttercream but what makes it so spectacular is the length of time you whisk it for, and the cream you add to it, which turns it gloriously light and moussy. Don’t worry if you don’t have the very shallow tier-cake tins (sometimes called easy-layer tins): I made this for a long time as a regular double-decker layer cake; indeed I have presumed that that is how most people will make it. Should you want to make the high-rise version, you will need to double all the quantities for the buttercream. What I don’t advise doing is making two layers and attempting to split each layer into two; these cakes are too tender for that. And while I’ve topped the cake here with dry-roasted peanuts, as I love the saltiness and crunch they provide, you can ignore me and decorate with chocolate curls, sprinkles, or anything else you fancy. Or, indeed, add nothing: left unadorned, the cake does have an undeniably elegant splendour. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
