Zesty Citrus Loaf

1 October

Hello I feel we've got the balance right this week; below you'll find two gorgeous baking recipes sitting side-by-side with two deliciously wholesome dishes. Then again, maybe I'm not the best one to ask about balance – I did have cake for breakfast this morning. Who could resist a treat from Bluebells Cakery, after all – their new café is filled with more than a few temptations. You can read about it here, if you dare! Online Editor,

RECIPE

Zesty Citrus Loaf Claire Aldous had an abundance of lemons in her kitchen to use – the result being this gorgeous moist loaf. It's perfect served with a bowl of thick plain yoghurt marbled with lemon curd. View Recipe Cauliflower Fried 'Rice' with Crispy Fried Eggs A takeaway dinner favourite is made a little bit lighter and more wholesome with the substitution of cauliflower ‘rice' instead of white rice. This dish is incredibly speedy to make so is perfect as a midweek meal. View Recipe Salted Peanut Caramel Chocolate Popcorn Tart It is unbelievably rich (shocked?) but not actually as sweet as you might imagine thanks to the use of 70% dark chocolate and a bit of sea salt to balance it out. I am leaving the peanut butter type option up to you – I used really good quality crunchy, but if you prefer smooth, go with that. Don't freak out that the recipe looks long – I promise it's very straight forward!
