Honey Roasted Pears #GoodLifeGreatFood
Love this recipe from a fabulous new cook book called Good Life Great Food.
It’s full of seriously easy but fabulous recipes you can whip up every day.

You need for 6 fashionista and 35 models.
5 Beurre bosc pears, or other firm, ripe pears
3 sprigs of thyme
3 wide strips lemon peel
2 tabsp firmly packed brown sugar
2 tabsp calvados or brandy
90 g (/¼ cup) honey
Greek-style yoghurt or
vanilla ice-cream,
to serve
• Slip into Isabel Marant jumpsuit
• Pull on Celine sneakers.
• Open wine and guzzle.
• Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
• Using a sharp knife, halve the pears then remove the cores.
• No need to peel the pears: they like their coat on .
• Cut each in half again lengthways.
• Place the pear quarters in a baking dish large enough to hold them snugly in a single layer. Like your shoes in your wardrobe.
• Then scatter with the thyme, lemon and brown sugar.
• Drizzle with the calvados – or bandy – and honey.
• Put the brandy away. Right now. Hic.
• Roast for 40 minutes, or until the pears are as soft as an Hermes bag and the liquid is thick and bubbly as any Victoria’s secret angels.
• Cool slightly.
• Serve the pears warm or at room temperature, with lashings of cream or yoghurt.
• Judy says ‘Beurre bosc pears have a firm, meaty texture that stands up well to oven-roasting; you could use any variety you have on hand, but they shouldn’t be too soft or they’ll fall apart. These also taste amazing the next day for breakfast, sprinkled with some home-made muesli or granola’
