I am Andrew Soddy, Executive Head Chef at L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa I hope you enjoy making the ‘Pumpkin Souffle’ as it is delicate and light, but has the creaminess of the pumpkin flavour coming through at the same time.

This month I wanted to share a recipe that really embraced Valentine's Day, so I have the perfect recipe to share with your partner on 14th February.

Ingredients

300g whole baby Brie or Camembert

25g pecans

3 tbsp maple syrup

3 tbsp soft brown sugar

Thyme sprigs

Crusty bread, to serve

Method

  1. Remove any plastic packaging from the cheese and return it to its wooden box.Place on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven, 200ºC (400ºF), gas mark 6 for 15 minutes. 

  2. Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a small frying pan for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned then set aside. Put the maple syrup and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook for 1 minute until foamy. 

  3. Take the cheese from the oven and cut a small cross in the centre. Drizzle over the maple syrup, scatter with pecans and thyme then serve with plenty of crusty bread and olive. The perfect way to share.

The time of year is soon approaching where we celebrate all Mum's hard work and patience and it will gradually creep up on us so I wanted to give you as much notic as possible. It's the one day we need to treat them like a Queen and thank them for their continuous love, support and understanding. 

At L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa we put on a special Mother's Day buffet extravaganza. From a cold buffet to hot carvings including four different types of meats, there will be something to cater for all palates. For those with a sweet tooth, there is an array of tempting desserts that are sure to tantalise their taste buds. It's the perfect way to show your appreciation from your Mum.
