"If you’re looking for the definitive parkin in all its sticky, crumbly glory though, you’ll need to head straight for Lottie Shaw’s, in Brighouse near Halifax, for a century-old family recipe and winner of many national awards."
"Delicious Yorkshire Parkin."
"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."
"A pudding of parkin, butterscotch and Chantilly cream was defined by the butterscotch which was richer than the Duke of Westminster and just as British. It was very good."
