Start with a few of Philip’s scrumptious basics including caramel shards, cherry syrup and sesame wafers. Then try the luscious French toast with cherries and mascarpone, the burnt caramel ice-cream with pistachio baklava wafers or the mango tart with macadamia nut pastry which are simply mouth-watering.

Learn how to make the perfect crème anglaise and delectable light tuilles or for something more adventurous try the spiced quince trifle or caramelised pear terrine with milk gelato and gingerbread. Some other delicious and irresistible treats include the blood orange, almond and pistachio cakes, cherry foccacia, and mandarin tart.

A simple bowl of rich, creamy home-made ice cream is sometimes all you need to satisfy those sweet cravings. Choose from either green apple sorbet with apple crisps, classic vanilla bean or caramel balsamic ice cream.
