Fig Confit helps you make the most of fig season by preserving fresh figs. Here we confit them in a spiced marsala wine (you can also use grape juice). And if you have dry figs that you want to make more luscious give this fig confit recipe a try! You can have figs for 6 months past the end of fig season using this wonderful preserving technique. This is a pushy recipe Dear Reader.

Pistachio Hot Cross Buns

Love pistachio? It's almost Easter time and that means it's time for Dubai Chocolate Hot Cross Buns! Try these incredibly soft and light Hot Cross Buns filled with Pistachio Cream and Nutella for Easter. They're based on my cult hot cross bun recipe using tangzhong roux to make them super soft and downy. These will taste as fresher and soft as a bakery hot cross bun (many say these are even better!). This is a pushy recipe Dear Reader.
