Lemon curd tiramisu
When life gives you lemons, make this lemon curd tiramisu. You'll need to start this recipe a day ahead, and you'll need a 24cm x 13cm x 6.5cm loaf pan.

Matt Preston's choc malt tiramisu
"To me, there is only one exemplary dessert in the Italian kitchen. It is tiramisu – a dessert that popped up in the ’60s. The trouble is that the classic combination of biscuits, coffee and mascarpone is looking a little tired these days. Even with the modern addition of a liqueur such as Strega, Marsala, Kahlúa, amaretto or Frangelico, it needs a little updating" - Matt Preston
