The Story Behind The Recipe
These rock cakes were a favourite of my dad, Tim.
I used to make them as a treat (with mum or nana supervising) and he was always so happy to get them - he made me feel like the best chef in the world.
Whenever I make them now with my children, I think of him and wish he was here to enjoy them with us again.
