I don’t tend to go in for house-warming parties; I’ve never quite seen the logic in getting the house all clean and spangly and then inviting a load of people round to make a mess of it!Sunday lunch is a much more sedate and enjoyable way to get settled into a new place – and saves the breakages and spills so often associated with late nights and loud music.
The Sunday lunch we had did eventually turn into a very late impromptu party, so it was rather lucky I’d made a big enough pud for the extra people who turned up over the course of the afternoon and evening.
This pear and hazelnut mess gives a nod towards the classic French dessert poires belle helene.
