Gemma has lost this recipe so I thought I would blog it so we can always find it - no matter where we are in the world....
"This is a luxurious twist on an indulgent pudding, which makes it even more delicious".
Serves 6 - 8
185g egg yolks (9 or 10)
100ml Baileys
180 ml milk
400 ml cream
95g sugar
50g caster sugar, to glaze.
Heat the oven to 90C/Gas Mark 1. Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk. Allow the bubbles to settle, then pour into ramekins or brulee moulds. Place on a tray and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes until set around the outside of the mould, but soft and wobbly in the centre. Remove from the oven and cool on the tray. When cool, sprinkle with sugar, glaze with a blowtorch (Phil uses his big one) and serve.
Enjoy.

A very special Mother's Day
I really love Mother's Day and not just because I am a mum. It's a wonderful opportunity to gather all the family together.
On Mothering Sunday, above all other,
Every child should dine with it's mother.
Sunday, 10th March, 2013 was Mother's Day here in the U.K. and Caroline and Gemma treated me to a delicious meal at Caroline's. There were fabulous canapes with bubbles supplied by Gemma, then a prawn starter followed by excellent duck prepared by Caroline. Gemma finished off the meal with a wonderful cheesecake. How lucky am I and all my babies with me.
Thank you for the gorgeous presents, bling, bling, shoes, chocolates and a plant. Emmie made me a card with her hand prints on. I love anything with Emmie's hand prints on, including dirty windows after a visit!
She also made me some adorable Cup Cakes.
Emmie and Chloe had to try one and declared them delicious. Lots of kissing from Chloe.
We brought cow bells back from Wengen and they were a great hit with Chloe and Emmie.
Alun wanted one too!
Thank you Alun, Gemma, Emmie, Caroline, Mike and Chloe for a fabulous Mother's Day.
We didn't have fresh snow whilst in Wengen but Monday it snowed in Milford on Sea!

Skiing in Wengen
There are no roads to Wengen, but the journey is part of the adventure. This is the cog railway we took to Wengen from the station in Lauterbrunnen.
Stepping off the quaint cog train is like stepping back in time. Children still get around on their toboggans in this magical village amid the Jungfrau mountain range.
Wengen is simply - stunning. We stayed at the Hotel Caprice which is a centrally located, 4 star boutique hotel offering fantastic views of the valley from our large, sun-blessed balcony. Up, Up, Up, Up in a Balloon
Fly so high I can touch the moon:-
Yes the view from our room is well..................You decide.
The views across the valley are stunning. They get even better higher up, when the famous trio of peaks comes fully into view - the Monch (Monk) in the centre protecting the Jungrau (Maiden) on the right from the Eiger (Ogre) on the left.
Or you can fly in
Andy, Tony and Phil. The Boy Racers.
The Jungfrau Region, in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, stretches just 18 kilometres from its 'capital' of Interlaken to the snow-capped summit of the Jungfrau massif. But what a remarkable region! Your first impression is the breathtakingly beautiful scenery, so glorious that no picture postcard can possibly do it justice. The region includes such renowed resorts as Grindelwald, Wengen and Murren. The boys skied them all. The world-famous Eiger North Wall is its landmark.
and the beautiful glaciers
It's not only ski-ing that's on offer here. As well as the miles of ski pistes available, this Swiss holiday resort boasts some wonderful cleared paths for walkers. Wengen also hooks up to the picturesque villages of Grindelwald and Murren, via its railway and cable-car system. Rosie and Lynda walked many miles.
Pauline and I decided to join Class 4 Intermediates for some much needed skiing technique. Over the years the style of skiing has changed. On my first lesson Sabine said you are a good skier but you could be even better with carvers. So very kindly that evening Phil bought me some new skis. My old ones were ten years old.
Class 4 - Mary, Tim, Pauline, Hugh, Sabine (the excellent instructor) Me with my new skis and Alistair.
Sabine's family have been and are in the Swiss national team. So, of course, she had to do the Lauberhorn live with us. This classic among donwhill ski races - the famous Lauberhorn downhill - can be experienced by every skier. The whole course can be skied, including the Russisprung (Russi Jump), Hundschopf (Dog's Head Jump) Minschkante (Minsch Edge) Canadian Corner, Langentrejen and Ziel-S (Finishing S). One of the highlights is the Hanneggschuss speed section: can you reach 100 km/h? My time: 66 km/h!
Exciting.
Our lesson was three hours every morning and at 1 p.m. we were ready to stop at the Wigwam, Kleine Scheidegg.
and enjoy a well earned lunch at the nearby Bellevue.
A ski-ing holiday offers many things: thigh-burning exercise, mountain air, hearty lunches and the chance to get up early the next day and do the same again.
