When it comes to a mid-morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up, there’s almost nothing that beats a freshly made slice and a hot cuppa. Liv Glazebrook, the baking genius behind Kitchen of Treats, has very kindly shared with us her recipe for ginger pistachio slice. Sweet and fragrant from the ginger, with just the right amount of texture from the nuts, this no-bake slice is simply delicious. She says it’s one of her favourites, ever, and that’s how you know it’s got to be good.
