Prime Minister's Award... for Banana Bread?

Yes, it's been a big and exciting couple of days for Stynes with her book with Dr Melissa Kang 'WELCOME TO SEX' being nominated for a Prime Minister's Literary Award... but we WILL talk about food.

Yumi's been busy going through the cookbook she co-wrote with Simon. Partly because she loves Simon's recipes but also because she can't remember her own! It's incredibly handy having them written down - and you can find the book here if you're interested.

SIMON'S FULLY LOADED BANANA BREAD

Melt 100g of butter and set aside to cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

Activate 1tsp of bicarb in 1 cup of Greek yoghurt. Allow it to sit for 5 mins to fluff up and activate.

Add to the yoghurt mixture the butter, 1 cup of caster sugar and 2 eggs, and mix.

Now add in 250g plain flour, 1tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon - and mix but don't overmix. Finally, add in 400g of very ripe, very mashed banana.

Pour it into the prepared tin and cook it for 1.5 hours, trying not to doubt the cook time.

Cool on a wire rack.
