Apple, Walnut and Cinnamon
My homage to mom’s apple pie. Apple and cinnamon are a perfect pair and the walnuts add texture. Try breathing in through your mouth at the end of a mouth full to get a nice cool cinnamon burst.

Banana Bread
After the pandemic everyone has a banana bread recipe, I was not going to be left out. Vanilla goes perfectly with banana and pecans add a smooth texture.

Carrot and Sultana Spice Bread
Loosely based on the ingredients found in carrot cake, carrots, walnuts and juicy sultanas. Of course the pairing for this bread is a slather of cream cheese.

Pear and Pecan Bread
Pear two ways, grated to give the bread moisture and cut into sections to give your mouth a “ooh what was that”. Pear is subtle, and the pecans add a creamy background to support. Try it with some blue cheese, but instead of having the blue cheese on top of the bread turn it over and eat it with the cheese down on your tongue so your olfactory is not initially overwhelmed.
