CHOCOLATE CRUNCH & CHESTNUT TORTE WITH SOUR CHERRIES
Posted by Paul Heathcote on January 14, 2008 12:44 AM
THIS is a really simple recipe – it is as equally good as a dessert or posh snack, it doesn’t take much time to make and just needs a few hours to chill and set.
It is a variation of a recipe I used to make many years ago at Sharrow Bay Hotel in the Lake District and can easily be modified by doubling up the recipe and allowing to set in a rectangular loaf tin.
A good tip to cutting this torte is to use a warm knife, simply run it under a hot tap or dip in a bowl of water, wipe dry and then cut, repeating each time before you cut the next portion.

THERE is nothing like a long walk to get rid of the Christmas cobwebs and come back home to the aroma of a good, old- fashioned casserole.
This is a dish I did many years ago and is still one of my favourites.
Take the time to source some smoked paprika – it makes all the difference and, if you want to avoid the potatoes, it goes equally well with boiled rice and a good dollop of crème fraiche or soured cream.
