Angela is her name and puddings are her game (well, as well as property and a few other things). She’s a family friend and here she is at my house with a beautiful Tiramisu that she made me for a dinner party this Friday.

I sometimes let pudding slip through the net when I am planning a menu but…Angela to the rescue. She lives very close to me and kindly let me drop off a bowl with her – otherwise her creations come in tupperwear, but you can always decant. I hate buying something that’s come from a shop when I’m hosting, so this is an easy cheat as it’s all beautifully homemade. Just not in your home.

It earned ooh and aahh from all six guests, who I asked to rate it honestly. Admittedly no Italians present but still, I think it was a winner.

What I loved most about it was a tartness of the dusted cocoa with the creaminess of the pud. It also – crucially – wasn’t too sweet.

She also makes a mean lemon tart.

Prices start from $40.
