Pesto Lentils with Zucchini and Capsicum

Sticky Date Pudding with Hot Butterscotch sauce, to feed a crowd

This delicious Sticky Date Pudding recipe is my go to Winter dessert for feeding a large number of people or for taking to a party for lunch or dinner and makes at least 16 serves. However, the recipe can easily be halved for a smaller dinner party or your family. They will love you for it.
