I'm on the Northern Line, casually listening to Mariah's All I Want For Christmas Is Youuuuuuuu on a loop and very loudly, annoying the whole carriage.
I look up and see a girl standing in front of me engrossed in a book. The book is entitled The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.
This struck me as rather odd, because Lemon Cake is gorgeous. Who doesn't like a bit of Lemon Drizzle? Even Mr Rose who is well known for announcing 'Its not pudding unless it has chocolate in' is fond of my lemon drizzle cake. How on earth can lemon cake make you sad?
Anyway, instead of finding out why lemon cake made the person in the book sad, I decided to use it as a tenuous link to one of the best recipes I've ever tasted - made by my lovely colleague S for a team dinner party last year. The poor lady has offered (well, was coerced into) having us all for a team dinner party again next week - she is a wonderful cook and I have my fingers crossed she will make it again.
It is from BBC Good Food and is a classic Lemon Tart.

It is lovely and light and would make a great pudding over the festive season!
