As humans, are we fundamentally good or evil? If left alone on a desert island without any outside influences, would we tend toward cruelty or would we maintain the rules and morals that structure our modern day society?

On occasion, I get asked the desert island question, ‘If you were stranded on one, what ingredients would you love to have with you?”.

It is so versatile; you can use it in savoury and sweet applications. Cream unsalted butter with sugar into fluffy dough loaded with pockets of air to create melt in your mouth cookies.
