John Salway invents a dessert for the Fifteenth Doctor’s companion

As soon as Ruby Sunday, the Doctor’s newest companion, was announced, I had an idea for how to mark the occasion. While some may have listened to the Rolling Stones song ‘Ruby Tuesday’, I had another idea – what better way is there to honour a Sunday-named Doctor Who companion than with a Sundae of her own? 

As such, I laid my hands on a variety of reddish foods to assemble a sundae fit for Ruby. Sundae glasses aren’t something I’d had much use for before, but after picking some up from the local charity shop I was all set to create a culinary masterpiece. I hope it’s one that you too will be able to enjoy at home!
