Answer 3

Bakewell Pudding
A buttery mixture, flavoured with ground almonds and baked in a light flaky pastry case, is the basis of this traditional Derbyshire recipe, sometimes known as Bakewell tart, the origin of which is still secret.
Ingredients

225 Gram Puff pastry (8 oz)
4 Tablespoon Red jam
110 Gram Ground almonds (4 oz)
110 Gram Caster sugar (4 oz)
50 Gram Butter, softened (2 oz)
3 Eggs, beaten
1/4 Teaspoon Almond essence

Method
Pre-heat oven to 200 °C / 400 °F / Gas 6.

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and use to line a 900 ml (1 1/2 pint) shallow pie dish. Knock up the edge of the pastry with the back of a knife. Mark the rim with the prongs of a fork. Brush the jam over the base. Chill in the refrigerator while making the filling.

Beat the almonds with the sugar, butter, eggs and almond essence. Pour the filling over the jam and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until the filling is set. Serve warm or cold with fresh cream or custard.

Answer 4

This is my favourite!

Ajo Blanco (White Garlic Soup)

You will need
4 slices of day old bread, crusts removed
100g almonds, skinned and blanched (or use ground almonds)
garlic (as much as you like)
150ml extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 litre chicken or vegetable stock
white grapes

Soak the bread in a little water to cover. Put the almonds and garlic in a blender and blitz, with some of the water, to a smooth paste. Pour this mixture into a bowl. Squeeze some of the excess water from the bread and place it in the blender adding the vinegar and oil and blend to a paste using as much water as needed to make it smooth. Add this to the bowl and mix well, adding more water to get the consistency you require. Taste and season accordingly with a little salt or addtional vinegar. Serve garnished
with grapes, a few slivers of toasted almonds or crispy fried slices of garlic.
