Rachel Allen recipie

[CEC]

Saw Rachel last Saturday on BBC. She baked an almond and pear flan, no pastry. She also did a lovely pasta dish. I could not find recipie on BBC website, you have to buy the book. Bought a book and it is the wrong one!
Can anyone please tell me which book these recipies are in please?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Pea Pod.
I bought Favourite Food for friends. Will have a look at the other one before I buy!! Should have done that first I suppose.

CEC could you just make this one and not use the pastry?

Almond Pear Flan

Ingredients: Serves 6-8
1 Basic Large Pastry Flan Case, uncooked
75 g unsalted (sweet) butter, softened
75 g caster (superfine) sugar
75 g ground almonds
25 g plain (all-purpose) flour
1 egg, beaten
I egg yolk
2 ripe pears, peeled and evenly sliced
30 ml apricot jam (conserve)
15 ml/1 tbsp water

Method:
Chill the uncooked flan case (pie shell) while preparing the filling. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the ground almonds, flour, beaten egg and egg yolk. Turn into the flan case and level with a spatula. Arrange the pear slices attractively over, pressing them down lightly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180�C/350�F/gas mark 4 for 45�50 minutes until the flan is golden and firm to the touch. Heat the jam and water in a saucepan, stirring with a wooden spoon. Sieve (strain) over the flan and brush all over the surface to glaze. Serve warm.
