James Martin's United Cakes of America

Alongside James Martin's recent Good Food show on UKTV I shot a beautiful selection of recipes from the series. Inspired by favourite American cakes James put his own twist on much loved classics. I do love nothing better than a cake shoot. And no, not because I get to try them all, I just think they make such pretty easily shot subjects.

Chewy Banana Ginger Bread

After a few weeks of organic veggie and fruit boxes I had a glut of bananas. I pictured a banana and ginger bread and after some web research put this recipe together. When fresh the cake is beautifully chewy, but it also keeps really well and is delicious toasted with butter.

I actually tried a slightly different lighting style for this, I'm not 100% convinced but I think it would be good for glossy foods. More of which in my next post.
