Fairtrade Fortnight: Banana bread

Green & Black’s Ultimate Chocolate Recipes: The New Collection is my favourite cookbook at the moment, and my favourite recipe from it is the farmhouse chocolate and banana bread. It’s easy to make, and a great way to use up over-ripe bananas.


A word of warning though: the recipe calls for 50 g of chopped chocolate to be pressed into the top before baking. The result is a chocolate crust which serves only to make the cake a little bitter. I omit this step, as has clearly happened in photograph accompanying the recipe.
