Granny Lane's famous apple crumble
Says Tom: “No one makes an apple crumble like my mum. It wasn’t easy convincing Mum to hand over the recipe. Not because it was a secret, but because it had been committed to memory and she cooked it instinctively. She knew the measurements and method by heart. After some time, Mum brought out her old cooking scrapbook. There, on a faintly written bit of paper buried in the book, was the handwritten recipe that she had probably penned 40 years ago. So, from my mum to you, here is Granny Lane’s famous apple crumble.”

Orange and honey blossom cake
“From sugary mint teas to flaky pastries and crunchy biscuits, Moroccans have a real sweet tooth and love to indulge in wonderful cakes. A simple orange and almond cake is a staple dessert that is made in homes up and down the country.

It’s heavenly and best enjoyed with plenty of fresh mint tea,” says John. This recipe is an edited extract from Orange Blossom & Honey by John Gregory-Smith (Simon & Schuster, RRP $39.99).
