Mrs White's Truly Triumphant Trifle in a trifle

-

Our Granny, Mrs White, made this trifle for the Silver Jubilee and we are still celebrating!
  • 1 Swiss Roll, the idea behind a trifle is to use your old stale cake, but buy a delicious fresh Swiss Roll from the East Dulwich Deli
  • 1 packet raspberry jelly
  • Raspberries - or you could make it with cherries - but its a bit more work stoning them, and cherry brandy. Yum
  • 500 ml custard
  • 150 ml Cointreau
  • Bonne Maman or Wendy Brandon's raspberry jam - East Dulwich Deli has Wendy Brandon's joyful jams
  • Toasted flaked almonds
  • Amaretti biscuits from the East Dulwich Deli
  • Lots of lovely clotted cream
  • Really good 70% dark chocolate from SMBS Foods

Crumble the Swiss Roll into the bottom of your Roullier White trifle bowl and spoon on lots of jam, don't eat it all though
Pour over the Cointreau
Add the raspberries
Prepare the jelly and pour over the contents of your Roullier White trifle bowl
Pop in the fridge to set, have a Cointreau or two
Crumble on lots of Amaretti biscuits
Pour on the custard
Spread on the clotted cream
Sprinkle with the almonds and grate on chocolate
Voila! A jubilant and truly triumphant trifle in a trifle

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
