Tasty weekend desserts

THIS week's recipes are two great desserts which would happily accompany the starters and main courses for a dinner party from the last two weeks' recipes.

We're going all out comfort food with a rich Rum Baba and a luxurious sponge with chocolate sauce.

Both of these dishes involve some baking, and simple recipes like these are a great way to learn the basics.

Baking classes are in big demand at the Cookery School and the recent success of our competition in association with Irwin's Bakery and Spar proves there's been a resurgence in home baking.

Even if you're only starting out, these easily-made winter warmers will make you seem like a seasoned professional.
