A delicious season
Summer Hosting with Benjamina Ebuehi
Summer continues to be served at Fortnum’s - and for the next installment in our series, we joined Benjamina Ebuehi one sunny afternoon, where she shared some of her favourite recipes of the season.
Benjamina competed on The Great British Bake Off in 2016, finishing as a quarter finalist, and has gone on to write three cookbooks. Now she’s here to show us more of what she loves to serve guests at her get-togethers, alongside her most cherished summer memories and her favourites from Fortnum’s.

Benjamina's Fortnum's Favourites
“These are one of my all time favourite biscuits,” says Benjamina about our Gingerlossus biscuits, and recommends our Sparkling Tea as “such a good choice for a non alcoholic drink”. Delve into her favourites here.

Gingerlossus Biscuits
“I love how thick the chocolate layer is and the ginger biscuit inside has the perfect amount of warming spice.”

|
Sparkling Tea
“This has got a beautifully delicate tea flavour that really shines through and is perfect with afternoon tea.”

|
Peaches in Brandy
“These are so plump and juicy with a good kick of brandy. Just a pour of cream or dollop of creme fraiche and you've got pudding ready in seconds.”

Sea Salted Caramel Truffle
“It takes a lot of restraint to not eat the whole box. They've got the perfect level of saltiness and the caramel in the middle is so wonderfully oozy.”

“A favourite summer memory would be from a couple of years ago. I spent my birthday in Sicily with a group of friends and had the best few days in the sun eating, laughing, exploring and enjoying each other’s company. I’m someone who loves hosting people and making sure everyone is well fed so I made sure to find some of the best food and baked goods for us to feast on throughout the trip.”
