If I had to choose a dessert to epitomise the sixties, this would be on the Top 3 list.  The fact that its served in a freaking pineapple just says so much about this dish. LOOK AT ME I CAN AFFORD PINEAPPLES!!!

I have such good memories of this recipe.  It reminds me of that quintessentially English past time of High Tea or even being a young lad at the village Fete etc. It is also pretty easy, as most of Marguerite Patten's recipes are.  If you don't like Orange, you can use Lemon rind instead.

I present most probably the easiest recipe ever.  If you are terrified of baking, this is a good place to start.

I love Walnuts.  That is all.

Mad Men themed party? Perfect party dish. 3 level tablespoons 1 red pepper (chopped) 4 oz crumbled Cheshire cheese One eighth pint of double cream 2 large pears 4 lettuce leaves Sprigs of watercress 1. Either turn up your refrigerator up to maximum or make sure you have access to a clear freezer. 2. Mix mayo with the Cheshire cheese, chopped red pepper, double cream and spread in an ice tray. 3. Place in a freezing compartment/refrigerator and stir every 30 minutes until mixture is frozen which should take 1 - 1.5 hours. 4. Wipe pears (peel if skins are tough) and cut in half and remove core.  Place each half pear on a lettuce leaf, pile iced cheese mixture on pear and garnish with watercress sprigs. Serve immediately.
