So freaking refreshing

I am bursting at the seams to tell you all about my little project I've been working on. I say little, it's taken me about two years and now it's finally here!! This truly has been a labour of love and every single recipe I've developed for this book is just as special as the last. All created from different areas of my life, inspired by every country under the sun, making them just really bloody delicious. I cannot thank you all enough for the support I've had throughout the years, from those of you who watched my silly Instagram lives in lockdown to the immense community of fantastic food lovers I've got, who keep letting me make some frankly very silly videos to my heart's content. I am so grateful I get to do this as my job and share it with so many wonderful people. I'll be obviously sharing lots of sneak peeks of recipes and chewing your ear off about it. So if you wanna give it a preorder I would really appreciate it! The more preorders I get means that I can reach more bookshops and audiences on publication day (which can help me to become a bestseller eek!!!) And don't worry the money doesn't come out until publication, and you will only be charged the LOWEST price of the book! If you can't preorder, just sharing the video on your Stories or with someone you like is also something I would love.❤️ Thank you so much to my team at Michael Joseph (part of Penguin Random House) for making every aspect of the book exactly as I had dreamed, especially the very very silly bits. And thank you infinitely to my fabulous management team at theFound for absolutely everything. ❤️ If you're in the US you’ll be able to preorder the book very soon too! Thank you to Ten Speed and Claire @jauneclaire for allowing me to sell INTERNATIONALLY!! Publication day is Nov 21st!!!

This is that dessert I made for Diwali, a mix between a tiramisu, tres leches and all drowned in chai and saffron cream Thank you @Rish | DishbyRish for the great idea to use cake rusks!! Check his recipe out for a EGGLESS chai tiramisu! 10 tea bags 30g ginger 15 cardamon pods 1/2 tsp black pepper 4 cloves 1 cinnamon stick 150ml evaporated milk 100g white sugar 250 g mascarpone cheese 250g cream cheese (or marcapone) 
4 eggs
100 g granulated sugar A large pinch saffron 2 ice cubes 24 cake rusks or tiramisu lady fingers 100g pistachios, finely chopped First make the extra strong chai. bash up the spices in a pestle and mortar just until crushed. Add to a large pot with the tea bags and 1 litre of water. Cook this on high for 20 mins with the lid off, it should reduce by half. Add the evaporated milk and sugar continue cooking for 10 mins. Allow to cool complete in the pan and then strain - you want about 600ml of liquid, top it up with more evaporated milk or water if you need more liquid. Meanwhile grind the saffron with 1tsp of the sugar, add a few cubes of ice and let this melt at room temp. Separate the whites and the yolks. In a clean bowl whisk the whites with half the sugar until you get stiff peaks. Then whisk the yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and thick - to the ribbon stage. Add in the mascarpone and cream cheese then continue to beat until thick and creamy. Add in the melted saffron and mix well. Using a spatula fold in half of the egg whites, then repeat with the other half of the whites until well incorporated but still light. Add 1/4 tsp salt and fold in. Lay out the cake rusks on to one layer in your tray and pour over half the chai mix - allow the cake rusks to absorb the liquid and add a little more so they are in a pool of chai. Top with half of the saffron cream and then top with the remaining cake rusks. Gently pour over the chai and finish with the remaining cream. Top with the chopped pistachios. Best served after refrigerating for 3 -4 hours.
