Fifteens

Fifteens is a no-bake 1970s Northern Irish classic named after the main ingredients in its foolproof recipe: 15 marshmallows, 15 glacé cherries and 15 digestive biscuits.

“This is a typical recipe for a time when kitchen scales were a rarity and recipes were more about intuition than precision – a treat that brings back warm, nostalgic memories of childhood and tradition, sprinkled with love,” says food writer Karyn Booth.

After studying catering in Belfast, Karyn fell in love with patisserie and worked in some of London’s best pastry kitchens, including The Ritz. She’s now a renowned food stylist and writer, creating wonders including an edible horse heart for TV show Game Of Thrones and a school desk made entirely of chocolate.
