Happy Birthday to LK!
Life’s Kitchen Ltd celebrated its 4th Birthday on 1st April 2009!
Managing Director Nick Levens commented.
“In some ways I cannot believe that we are entering our fifth trading year! The time has flown by, and we have enjoyed some real growth and success in our first four years. I am particularly pleased with how Life’s Kitchen Ltd has demonstrated real flexibility and adaptability during the recent tough economic challenges; the company is in fantastic shape as we enter our fifth year, and our philosophy of consistent, manageable growth is really paying dividends. I must also thank the hugely talented and dedicated team at Life’s Kitchen Ltd-our chefs, waiters, porters and managers-for all of their hard work day in, day out. I am immensely proud of the team, some of whom have been with us since day one, and enjoy working with them every single day”
To celebrate its birthday, Life’s Kitchen Ltd has made a donation to The Lavender Trust-our adopted charity for 2009.

Pudding
3 ½ oz’s Chopped Dates
360ml Water
¼ oz bicarb
3 ½ oz butter
5 ½ oz dark brown sugar
2 whole eggs
½ oz baking powder
4x strawberries
4x balls of vanilla ice-cream
Sauce
5 ½ oz Demerara Sugar
3 ½ oz butter
½ pint cream
Method
Put water and dates into a pot and bring to the boil. When boiled remove from the heat and add the bicarb and leave to one side. Whisk together the butter and sugar, adding the eggs one by one whilst whisking. Fold in the flour and baking powder, then add the dates and water mix.
Once completely mixed pour into
a small bread loaf tin, and place in a pre heated oven of 170 degrees centigrade for 30mins. To check it’s cooked put a small knife into the pudding. If nothing is on the knife once removed it’s done! Then leave to one side to cool.
For the sauce melt sugar in a pan with the butter, and once melted add the cream, and bring to the boil.
To serve remove cake from tin, slice and place pudding in a bowl, pour over toffee sauce, place a ball of ice-cream on each and garnish with a strawberry.
Enjoy!
