Asking For Seconds
Enjoy Eat an Extra Dessert Day
Do you remember the thrill of being offered “seconds” after Sunday lunch? The steaming treacle sponge, the wobbling jelly or the last slice of tart, waiting patiently for someone brave enough to ask. Today, 4th September, we are invited to do exactly that. Eat an Extra Dessert Day is here, and it is a celebration of pudding in all its glorious forms.
Lemon Tart with Summer Fruits
It feels almost cheeky, like Oliver Twist holding out his bowl and whispering, “Please, sir, I want some more.” Only this time the answer is a resounding YES! Have another slice, take that second scoop, enjoy the sweet rebellion of indulging without guilt.
The origins of Eat an Extra Dessert Day remain blissfully mysterious but perhaps that’s part of its charm. Thought to be dreamed up by dessert enthusiasts, the day encourages us to enjoy sweet treats without guilt.

Desserts Through Time
From the earliest ices in 3000 BC China to the rich puddings of Victorian England, desserts have always been more than just food. They are comfort, reward and ritual. The very word dessert comes from the French “desservir”, meaning “to clear the table.” Yet somehow desserts became the highlight, the dish people remember long after the main course is gone.
