Who doesn't want a home-made chocolate cake baked in 5 minutes? And how about Pineapple Jerky? What's not to like about some zany food ideas...

Get a quick cake fix baking this mug-in-a-microwave recipe. I couldn't resist trying it. It's a little dry, which is why I've given you a crème fraiche recipe for making your own to go with it.

But you could serve it with a slice of Pineapple Jerky. Kenny Kelly, who's the production manager at Jerky has pointed me to the company website. For you jerky lovers out there, it sells jerky made from almost everything but handbags: Ostrich, Elk, Alligator, Bacon - and Fruit! If you know someone in the military, it's a good gift. There's much to learn on the site, including how to make your own, which seems a generous gesture from a commercial enterprise.
