Summer fruit Swiss roll
Recipe by:
Norma MacMillan
Fresh summer fruits such as strawberries, peaches and nectarines have a natural affinity with cream. Here, these aromatic fruits are combined with whipping cream, which has a lower fat content than double cream, plus a little Greek-style yogurt to make a delicious filling for a light-as-air fatless sponge.

Maple and toasted-walnut bread
Recipe by:
Norma MacMillan
This healthy bread has it all: just the right amount of sweetness, a delicious moist crumb, and the toothsome crunch of nuts throughout. The only thing it doesn't have is lots of fat and cholesterol.

Chamchela's Brownies de Luxe - 10 Steps to Heaven!
Specially for the basic galley and lazy on-board cook! The chewy-crispy result is best by using butter and white sugar, but I've used uncoloured golden sugar, and margarine - and even wholemeal flour, but that makes it much heavier. You can also do without the chocolate chunks, or without the nuts, and even without both if you're desperate! Use whatever is in your galley cupboards - add glace cherries, or raisins, instead. Be imaginative! - But the best results come as below.
