Chocolate Concrete and Custard

Memories of school meals, this was a regular on the school menu when I was at school, shall we say, a few years ago. I don’t have mains gas, although I have an electric oven I had to use the microwave to make the custard when my gas ran out. I’ve never used the microwave to do this before, to be honest I don’t use the microwave to cook, only to heat or reheat food.
Chocolate Concrete and Custard recipes My name is Roz but lots call me Rosie. Welcome to Rosies Home Kitchen. I moved from the UK to France in 2005, gave up my business and with my husband, Paul, and two sons converted a small cottage in rural Brittany to our home Half Acre Farm. It was here after years of ready meals and take aways in the UK I realised that I could cook. Paul also learned he could grow vegetables and plant fruit trees; we also keep our own poultry for meat and eggs. Shortly after finishing the work on our house we was featured in a magazine called Breton and since then Ive been featured in a few magazines for my food. My two sons now have their own families but live near by and Im now the proud grandmother of two little boys. Both of my daughter in laws are both great cooks. My cooking is home cooking, but often with a French twist, my videos are not there to impress but inspire, So many people say that they cant cook, but we all can, you just got to give it a go.For the Chocolate concrete
