Cook's tip:
• If you have loaf leftover after a couple of days and it’s lost a bit of moisture, slice it thickly and toast. It makes a beautiful breakfast with jam or honey spread on top.
• For a strong bananaflavoured loaf, use very ripe bananas. This is a great way to use up those bananas gone black in the bottom of
