Over Easter I tried some date, hazelnut, and chocolate tart which Phil's Dad's wife made. It was really, really delicious. I'm having a sugar craving right now and it's on my mind. The dates were really nice - they had been soaked in brandy and omg, the cake was just heaven with a bit of whipped cream. I might have to ask her for the recipe and make a smaller sized one for myself next time I feel like being indulgent.

I've never really eaten dates in puddings - apart from I guess sticky date pudding which is okaaaayyyy, but I tend to like the butterscotch sauce a whole lot more. Mmmm butterscotch.

I tried some Thai sticky rice with mango the other week too and that was also yummy - but the mango on the top was far too sweet - it needed to be tangy to make a nicer balance with the sweet, coconut rice!

What new things have you eaten lately?
