“Dessert is something to linger over,” says Bill Granger, “it provides the ideal moment for savouring the day.” In our second extract from his new recipe collection, Best of Bill, it’s back to basics with old-fashioned favourites such as chocolate brownies and honey cheesecake. Cooking doesn’t always have to be a grand extravaganza. Sometimes the simplest dishes can be the most satisfying. Besides which, as Granger says, “Dessert is a sure-fire way to anyone’s heart.”
