Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies).

Ingredients:

1 extra large egg
4 extra large egg yolks
100g granulated sugar, plus 15g for each serving
700ml double cream
1 tsp pure vanilla essence
1 tbsp orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 150°C/gas mark 2.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the egg, egg yolks, and 100g sugar together on low speed until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a small saucepan until it's very hot to the touch but not boiled. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream to the eggs. Add the vanilla and orange liqueur and pour into 170 to 225ml ramekins until almost full.

Place the ramekins in a baking pan and carefully pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 mins, until the custards are set when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until firm.

To serve, spread 15g sugar evenly on the top of each ramekin and heat with a kitchen blowtorch until the sugar carmelises evenly. Allow to sit at room temperature for 1 min until the caramelised sugar

The book presents four agreements, or principles, that readers are encouraged to adopt:

Be Impeccable with Your Word: This agreement emphasizes the importance of using your words thoughtfully and truthfully, avoiding gossip, and speaking with integrity.

Don't Take Anything Personally: This agreement advises against taking the words or actions of others personally, recognizing that their behavior is a reflection of their own experiences and beliefs.

Don't Make Assumptions: The book encourages readers to seek clarity and ask questions rather than making assumptions, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.

Always Do Your Best: This agreement emphasizes the idea that doing your best in every situation, regardless of the outcome, can lead to personal growth and a sense of accomplishment.

"The Four Agreements" explores these agreements in-depth and provides practical insights into how they can be applied to various aspects of life, including relationships, communication, and self-acceptance. The book's overarching message is about finding personal freedom and happiness by breaking free from self-limiting beliefs and living authentically.

It's worth noting that "The Four Agreements" is often described as a spiritual and self-help book, drawing from Toltec wisdom but offering practical guidance for personal growth and transformation. Many readers have found its teachings to be both inspirational and transformative in their lives.

Ingredients:

100 g unsalted pecans
100 g unsalted hazelnuts
20 g mixed seeds , such as linseeds, chia
180 g Medjool dates
100 g mixed dried berries , such as blueberries, cranberries, sour cherries
200 g porridge oats
2 tablespoons oil , (I like walnut oil)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup

Method:
Place 100g each of unsalted pecans and unsalted hazelnuts, 20g of mixed seeds, 180g of Medjool dates (destone first) and 100g of mixed dried berries in a food processor and briefly blitz until they’re all nicely chopped together.
Add 200g of porridge oats, 2 tablespoons of oil and 1–2 tablespoons of maple syrup and pulse until combined, but still with a bit of texture.
I like to go straight into portion-control mode (my nutrition team will be really proud of me!), and use a 5cm pastry cutter to portion up the 24 flapjacks there and then. For me, the easiest way to do it without getting the scales out is to scrunch and squash the mixture into a rough 75cm sausage, simply cut it in half and into quarters, then divide each piece into 6.
One by one, pat and push the portions really firmly into the cutter, pushing down in the centre and squashing the mixture up the sides with your fingers. As you push it down, remove the cutter to give you a nice round flapjack snack.
Place the snacks in an airtight container, where they’ll keep happily for up to 2 weeks. Bag up and freeze any you don’t need for a later date. If any get bashed or break up, use them as a great breakfast sprinkle.
