Curtis Stone shares his recipe for an almond friand tart with rhubarb compote, strawberry sorbet and tarragon crémeux.

Slices of fresh persimmon are arranged over the batter and topped with a candied ginger crumble.

A brown sugar and cinnamon streusel is swirled throughout as well as sprinkled on top. The ruby grapefruit marmalade addition transforms this cake to a sweet breakfast.

Leave small pockets of the crunchy museli and pecan crumble so the maple pear sauce can trickle over.

"Quince, autumn's hidden gem, turns from a pale yellow to a deep rich pink during cooking, and is always worth the wait," says Stone. "Little chunks of marzipan through the crumble add unexpected sweetness and fragrance."

A curd, cake and crumble all in one.

This is a crumble at its simplest - the vibrant rhubarb stalks and pomegranate seeds do all the tantalising talking here.
