Cold pears stained red with tart hibiscus and offset by a hot, creamy, spiced rice puddingHibiscus has a tart, berry-like flavour, and turns these pears a jewel-bright crimson in colour. The pears are best poached a day ahead, because they’ll deepen in colour and flavour while they chill in the syrup. I especially like the contrast of the cold, gently tangy pears against a warm, creamy rice pudding that’s fragrant with cardamom, bay, lemon and vanilla. A scattering of pistachios adds a final touch of both colour and crunch. Continue reading...

This soft-but-dense, velvety delight is cake at its most pudding-like. It’s at its prime still warm from the oven, but gets gloriously fudgy after a night in the fridgeThe note by Elizabeth David is helpful here: “This cake can also be eaten like a pudding” for its soft-dense-velvet-texture. But I am jumping ahead: this week’s column started in Ferrara, a city in the wetlands of the Po delta in the north-eastern corner of Emilia-Romagna. Half medieval lanes and half green avenues and parks, Ferrara is home to one of Europe’s most imposing red-brick castles, one that provides a home to an annual journalism festival run by the magazine Internazionale.
