With guests for dinner it's time for me to make the one dessert in my repetoire, with some help from my sous-chef Barbara.

It's simple to do: start with a layer of soft brown sugar with cinnamon, arrange layers of sliced up apples on it then cover with a circle of ready-made pastry. All of this in a loose-bottomed non-stick tin that is greased, sides and bottom, with a little butter or margarine and, just to be on the safe side, lined on the bottom with a circle of greaseproof paper.

When it's all cooked, which in our oven was about 30 minutes, let it cool, put a plate on top of it, carefully flip the whole thing over and voila! Next Page

The recipe we used is Delia Smith's Caramelised Apple Tart but you can find recipes for Tarte Tatin in various places on the internet (some of them so plagued with pop-ups that I'm not including them here. If I wanted junk mail with my recipes I'd stuff a wodge of it into my recipe book).

Tarte Tatin website (which is in French but there is an English version).

Delia Smith says 'Lucy Crabb, former Executive Chef at our restaurant at Norwich City Football Club, makes the very best Tarte Tatin (Caramelised Apple Flan) I've ever tasted.'
