This dish is created using a brown bread biscuit paste and wholewheat flour instead of regular (as the nutty taste really compliments the cherries). She plans on serving this dish between the second course and desert, as a sweet entremet. English Heritage is a charity that cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites.
