Chocolate and Mango Curd Tart

Watching cookery programmes with friends does seem to result in "make this" or "make that".  This was my idea when asked for something combining mango and chocolate.  Using muscovado sugar instead of white in the meringue really compliments the chocolate in the pastry and the mango.  The pastry recipe makes too much for 1 large tart so you could either freeze the leftovers or, like me, make some smaller tarts too.

Mango and Lime Curd

This is something i came up with for the chocolate tart recipe, but could be used in many other things and should last a few months.

Date and Treacle Cake

I always try and have some emergency cake in the freezer, just in case.  This cake was perfect for that as it just as good warm from defrosting quickly.  The recipe is very similar to the cake in a sticky toffee pudding without the sauce.  It's such a tasty moist cake it doesn't really need the sauce although a thick spreading of butter is good.
