I’ve been wanting to illustrate a recipe since I started this years journal, so here we are. It’s actually an adaptation of Nigel Slater’s Beetroot Seed cake from his book Tender Vol I. So if you have a copy of this, just replace the beetroot for parsnips in the recipe.
If anything is unclear from my illustration, let me know in a comment and I’ll try to clarify.
Yum😃

Oh wow that sounds amazing! I got the Tender Vol. 1 for Christmas and can’t believe it’s my first Nigel Slater book…I love his cooking so much! Your journal looks beautiful by the way.

Thanks very much. Tender is a fabulous book isn’t it? Lovely to just sit and read. I must get vol. II soon!

Love your blog, and must admit was drawn to it by the beautiful illustrations. I made this cake a couple of days ago and it is delicious. I wasn’t sure if the strong flavour of parsnips would work in a cake, but it does. It’s lovely and moist, and even better for leaving overnight. Thanks for the inspiration. 😀
