Oncle Valere’s Applecakes – what are they? - These wonderful applecakes were originally made in Flanders by Oncle Valere Desbuquois. Assembled and baked with Love, the high quality ingredients include best unsalted butter, unrefined sugar, quality flour, vine fruits and vanilla. About 1kilo of superb apples are used in each cake. Plus, of course, Oncle Valere’s unique blend of spices. Valere (that’s Oncle Valere’s nephew) lives in Bath and wanted his nieces and nephews to taste applecake – he sourced all the correct ingredients and, one day, he made some. They loved it and told their friends who loved it too. Soon he was making dozens, all created and baked by hand.

Why is Oncle Valere’s applecake so good? - Always local free range eggs, local butter and local apples in season, spices ground by hand. Top quality ingredients, baking with Love and a magical blend of exotic spices make Oncle Valere’s applecakes deliciously addictive. Applecake eaters say "Scrummy", "Delicious", "Munchy", "Loverley", "Addictive, "Lush", "Moist", "Yes, Yes, Yes", and much more…

How do I look after Oncle Valere’s Applecake?- The best place to keep Oncle Valere’s Applecake is – IN YOUR STOMACH! If you avoid the delicious temptation of eating it now and want to keep it for a few days longer, you can freeze it. If you don’t want to freeze it, don’t keep it in the fridge, but in your warm kitchen – that way you get the wonderful aroma too. Remember it’s made with natural ingredients and NO PRESERVATIVES and it needs to be eaten pretty quickly – don’t deny yourself the pleasure!

How can I buy Oncle Valere’s Applecake? - Oncle Valere’s applecake is sold in slices for £1.75, quarters (3 slices) for £4, halves for £8 and whole cakes for £15.Cake orders may be made on +44 7710 173005 (any time) for collection – large amounts can be delivered.

So just why does "An apple a day keep the doctor away"?Seven simple practical reasons...An apple neutralises the effects of gout and indigestion. Apple acids help you to properly digest other foods. An apple gives you instant energy as the apple sugar is practilly pre-digested food. Apples mitigate against stones and calculus. Apples reduce stomach acidity. Eat an apple at night to avoid constipation, plus you may well get a better sleep. Plus... the delicious apple is the food of the gods. And...we have it on good authority that luscious, moist, juicy, spicy Oncle Valere’s Applecake is said to be better than oysters for ‘You know what"...Try some today!

AND MORE....FABULOUS CHEESECAKE

Remember that melt-in-the-mouth luscious BAKED lemony cheesecake? Well, here it is again - just to taste it reminds you of lovely days. Made with eggs, cream cheese, cream and fresh lemon zest and a little base of spicy ginger pastry. WOW! Same price as the applecake - £15 whole, £8 half, £4quarter, £1.75 slice

SUPERBLY SAUCY TARTS
Dumpy hand-made and hand-baked quiches of delightful organic pastry filled with Bacon and Mushroom or Asparagus and Smoked Salmon, Cheese and Onion or Red Onion and Goat’s Cheese.

AMAZING "BELGIAN" SACHERTORTE
I’m typing this with the smell of this warm sumptuous chocolate all around me - Oooh.Well, we do use Belgian chocolate in this superb Austrian confection - the only cake so good that there’s been a legal case over - we’re waiting the lawyers now. It is VERY VERY good. Made the traditional way with whipped egg whites and a very great deal of top quality chocolaty chocolate. Same price as the applecake.

This month’s FAMOUS BELGIAN - The Founder of Modern Medicine - Versalius
Believe it or not, modern medicine began in 1543 with the publication of the first complete textbook of human anatomy, "De Humanis Corporis Fabrica" by Belgian physician Andreas Vesalius who was educated at the University of Louvain. Andreas was born in 1514, so he was just 29 when this seminal work was printed. Young, bright, famous and BELGIAN!

This month’s BELGIAN JOKE:
Two Belgian hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

"Smaakelijk!"
(says Oncle Valere who knows that since 1947 there should be only one ‘a’ in Smakelijk, but two looks better, doesn’t it?! )

This month’s Flemish proverb:
Voorzichtigheid is de moeder van de porseleinkast (cautiousness is the mother of the China cupboard!)

Happy Valentine Season!

This month’s famous Belgian - Jeanne Deckers (1933-1985)
Jeanne was famous all over the world as 'The Singing Nun' and for her massive hit "Dominique", which reached number 1 all over the world and sold more than 1.5 million copies. She is the only Belgian ever to achieve a number one hit in America and temporarily topped such heavy hitters as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles in the charts.She joined the Dominican Fichermont Convent in Belgium as Sister Luc-Gabrielle. She was popular in the convent for her music and was encouraged by the other nuns to record an album in 1963. One song, "Dominique," soared to the top of the charts. Overnight, the Belgian nun was an international celebrity with the stage name of Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile). She performed in concerts and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. In 1965, a movie called The Singing Nun, starring Debbie Reynolds, was made about her. Remember?

This month’s BELGIAN JOKE:
Top Belgian joke "Well, you see, there are basically three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count and those that can't." Top Dutch joke "You're a high-priced lawyer! If I give you £300, will you answer two questions for me?" "Absolutely! What's the second question?"

Come to Clevedon for a Romantic Sunday...and applecake! Did you know that there’s only ONE Grade 1 listed pier in the WORLD? Did you know that it’s a triumph of romantic Gothic Victorian delicate beauty gently extending into the Severn Estuary with the World’s second highest tide? Did you know that, at the end of the pier there’s the sweetest little pagoda with a tea room inside? Did you know that, from Sunday 28th January, you’ll be able to buy Oncle Valere’s applecake there? Beautiful views, romantic surroundings, Love in your eyes - and in your Tummy!
Romantic walks, romantic scenery and tea...what are you waiting for? "Smaakelijk!" (says Oncle Valere - "See you on Romantic Clevedon Pier!")

Als er een schaap over de dam is, volgen er meer (if one sheep has crossed the dam, more will follow).
