What’s more, Anchor Light Real Dairy Cream is delighted to announce that Sal Henley of the hit Channel 4 programme ‘Cook Yourself Thin’ is the new brand ambassador. On the show Sal dazzled viewers with her clever tricks and advice on how simply modifying and swapping a few ingredients into everyday recipes can help make them more figure friendly. Now she has teamed up with Anchor Light Real Dairy Cream to translate some of these tricks into three delicious dessert dishes.
There’s the Rum & Raisin Chocolate Pot perfect for dinner parties or as an after dinner treat with coffee, a cute Caterpillar Cake made from sponge for kids' birthday parties, and a Carrot & Pineapple Cake, great for tea-parties for all ages.

“I’m certainly not prepared to compromise on taste and I’m not into diets as life is too short to agonize over every piece of chocolate that passes my lips! But I think it’s important to make healthy choices and there are lots of things you can do to ensure you get the treats you deserve while still watching your weight,†says Sal.
