MANGO-PEACH LOW FAT ICE-CREAM…eggless
“Ice cream is the original soul food.” Lexie Saige With summer here, can ice-cream & popsicles be far behind? Finally mangoes have reached their peak in availability & taste. There can be nothing better than enjoying their superb flavour…it’s amazing how flooded the market is, but just until July, because this is the time when the fruit begins to ripen. It’s also the saving grace for the high temperatures we suffer here during this time…43-44C wouldn’t have been possible without this delectable fruit!Bought more than a few kilos of mangoes than I needed too a while ago … because the batch looked so good. With peaches keeping them good company,…

MANGO MOUSSE TART…forced into obligation!
“All men’s gains are the fruit of venturing”Herodotus You might remember the French tart I tried to make here on Mother’s Day, & it didn’t oblige at all. I admonished the misbehaving tart shell, & it cooled it’s heels in the fridge for 2 days, while I tried to figure out how best to resurrect it. I tried, & managed to come up with something, which worked out quite well eventually! Not one to take a baking defeat lightly, a bruised ego very much there, the tart shell bugged me for 2 days. Each time I opened the fridge, it sat there cheekily trying to engage me in conversation! Phew…

INDIAN BERRY FRO YO … phalsa frozen yogurt
“Ice cream cravings are not to be taken lightly.” Betsy Cañas Garmon Blogging about food is something entirely fulfilling, a world I can unwind in. It’s a different space altogether, where you don’t have to seek inspiration. It’s there in every post, on everyblog. One such blog is Canela’s Kitchen Recipes, which belongs to lovely Gloria, who blogs from Santiago, Chile. She makes great use of fruit & has a mind-boggling array of fruity compositions on her blog. Gloria’s post about Blueberries & Raspberry Ice-cream is the source of inspiration for this fro yo that I made. The colour of her ice-cream was enough to unnerve me, & set me…

Chocolate Strawberry Refrigerator Cheesecake …summer ♥
“There’s more to life than chocolate, but not right now” Anonymous There’s a new book out there, & it sounds good … Cooking Green by Kate Heyhoe. It’s aimed at shrinking your ‘cookprint’ (new interesting word for me), & offers daily strategies for ‘lower impact living’. To quote the author, “How we cook is as important as what we cook. Fortunately, the kitchen is the place where you can make real green choices, and take direct control of your impact—through passive and active cooking strategies, water conservation tips, and low-carbon choices for cookware, appliances, foods, dining, and more. Save money and time, too, just by rethinking how you cook and…

BERRY DELICIOUS INDIAN COOLER … Phalse ka Sherbet
“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer, and like it.” Russel Baker Oh to have a berry to call your own! What a blissful feeling it is to find pretty berries here after going green with envy reading about blueberries, cranberries & just about every other berry under the sun in blog land. Along comes a plum-purplish tiny Indian berry, the phalsa…Throughout our childhood, & until a few years ago, it was fairly common for door-to-door hawkers door to ring the doorbell, selling this berry at our doorstep. The summer afternoon silence was often shattered by their piercing calls, when very few would venture out while strong,…
