The only custard recipe I use is a Gary Rhodes one which I saw years and years ago on one of his shows. My brother in law uses his blindingly good Yorkshire pudding recipe; I didn't realise he has been forever in the fabric of our family kitchen. So very sad. RIP #GaryRhodes pic.twitter.com/J4ZFNWrlhO

Leaving So Many Fans Behind
I am sad today at the passing of #GaryRhodes
His book taught me everything I know about scones, Yorkshire puddings and a bread and butter pudding that I have passed down to my children
He walked me through so many recipes!
He made me feel like I could dare to try ...
