About me: I've been cooking for over thirty years, and I can remember the days before EVO, couscous and (ghasp!) microwaves. My cookbook collection reflects this personal and national gastronomic history. My own cooking has actually got simpler over the years, and I can do much of my repertoire without looking at a recipe. But I still love collecting cookbooks, although these days I'm a bit over food porn with great big colour photos - I really prefer food writing to recipes.

Finding myself with a rindless lemon that had to be used I tried this ridiculously simple dessert. Cream, caster sugar and lemon juice, for goodness sake! Very rich. Only warning is that it needs at least three hours in the fridge to set.

An inspired combination.

The original recipe is for stuffing pushed between deep cuts in a leg of lamb. On impulse I bought a boned shoulder and used the stuffing - anchovies, capers, lemon rind, garlic, parsley and EVO. Not bad at all.
