A while ago I started visiting the kitchens of friends and family for recipe inspiration. Also because I spend most of my days working on my own and it gets lonely sometimes.
I spent last Saturday with my dear friend Melissa, who’s every bit as kind as she is glamorous. I took photos while she made Malva Pudding. I’ve adapted her recipe into a vegan and gluten free version. It might not be as buttery as the original, but it is every bit as decadent and comforting.
