"A generous slice of parkin, the flavour of ginger coming through, a rich as you like butterscotch sauce and a lovely light crème fraiche sorbet. Just what you want on a chilly autumn night."

Simon Binns

"Desserts is The Best Parkin You Will Ever Eat (TBPYWEE); which fills up the soul with a rich, spicy warmth. The butterscotch and creme fraiche sorbet wrap itself around the cake in a way that I wish was socially acceptable for a grown man."

Kris Ball

"Sticky butterscotch sauce helps the cake go down, and the refreshingly tart palate cleansing creme fraiche sorbet prepares you for the next bite. The sauce is so ridiculously good, if bread had been available I may have been tempted to dip it in here, too."

Sanjna Suryavanshi

"Very sweet parkin with a butterscotch sauce and topped with a crème fraiche sorbet to cut through the sweetness. It was a comforting winter dessert and with the evenings getting colder, it was the ideal autumnal sweetener."
