Good good luck with your cherry sauce and chocolate decoration. And your kitchen should have a food processor, an oven, a food mixer, a flat beater, a rubber spatula, a roasting tin, a saucepan, a fridge and a vegetable peeler.

Last, but not least, the recipe and a photo by Jonathan Lovekin for The Observer.

I have learnt the meaning of the words kitchen parchment (a type of paper for the kitchen made from the skin of sheep and goats), sieve (it's a wire or plastic net attached to a ring), biscuit crumbs (small pieces of biscuits), scraping down (moving a sharp or hard implement across a surface), folding in (mixing one ingredient gently with another, usually with a spoon), wobbly (moving in an unsteady way from side to side) and scattering over (covering a surface with something thrown over it in small quantities and the result is unplanned).
