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,…

STRAWBERRY YOGURT PANNA COTTA
“The secret lies in the love and the effort the maker puts into the creation. It really is a simple dessert to make. There’s nothing to it.” Maria Olivas Have finally found the time to post this lovely strawberry yogurt panna cotta which I made when my blogger friend Nachiketa was visiting. She came in to spend some time with me, & we did a whole lot of fun stuff that day , including cake & cupcake decoration. You can find the cake decoration post here. That day, we had a really hurried lunch, which we finished off with this simple, yet sublime, dessert which I made in a bit…

Saffron Pistachio Yogurt Ice Cream…Happy IWD
“I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they’re the first to be rescued off sinking ships”Gilda Radner This frozen dessert came out more beautifully than I thought it would. I have been meaning to post it for a bit, but something or the other kept cropping up. The hub sang praises with every spoonful, & no, not because he wanted another helping, but because he truly enjoyed the flavours. Saffron & pistachio compliment each other perfectly, in colour & in soul! It was more creamier than I imagined it would be, it did have a slight tartness of yogurt…

Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Mini Cakes
“Don’t let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.” Anthony Trollope Time to experiment again. The boy comes home from school every afternoon & asks me what I did the ‘whole‘ day. He wants a blow-by-blow account…& keeps saying “And Mama, and what else, and…and”, a pregnant pause between each question, in the vain hope that I’ll say I made dessert. Today he was thrilled because I eventually said, “and laundry, & working on the PC….”& finally said … “and I made some dessert.” There was a thunderbolt…a lightning of a smile! How can I break his heart so often? I often do because he has a…
