Hi skinny jean wearers

| Clara's first attempt at Pear and Almond Cake tasted amazing but didn't look quite the same as Belinda's |
- Veronica, http://stantoninteriorstyle.blogspot.com who passed this recipe on to me, commented,
- "Clara, the cake is very good but don't eat too much or you won't fit into your jeans! "
And she is absolutely correct! It should have come with a warning so here is a retrospective one.
What was I thinking? I promise it won't happen again, but here is a little justification via an article in the weekend Telegraph.

| The secret - small portions. |
"Oui! the secret's out: real reasons french women don't get fat." And the relevant point here follows exactly what Veronica wrote.
"They eat cake and chocolate - Why it works paradoxically: not having a list of forbidden foods can put an end to bingeing, Sainsbury-Salis says. French women only eat small amounts of treat foods- and those foods are available in small portions."
There were a few other hints which I will tell you about in the next blog.
Cheers
Clara
