Lunch In A Loaf
It is that time of year when everyday’s a picnic day in this house.

However it might not be the obvious choice for a June pudding, not a delicious, fruit soaked bready summery summer pud (its time will come though…) but a decadently fruity chocolatey crumble. So use the excuse that the weather is looking a little…
