Fresh Peach Ginger Peasant Cakes … a vegetarian twist to Julie & Julia’s clafoutis!
“I think the inner person is the most important. . . . I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That’s what is important.”Julia Child The release of Julie & Julia has led to a Julia Child wave among blogs, food blogs in particular. Elle’s New England Kitchen & Food Blogga featured some beautiful blog posts on the film. Do head for their blogs as Elle & Susan have some sweet sound bites on the film. The film’s official blog, Julie & Julia also is well worth a visit. The other day I saw a beautiful Cherry clafoutis that Val posted @ More Than Burnt Toast.…

LOW FAT ROASTED PEACH & PLUM EGGLESS ICE-CREAM…Time to Social-ice!
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate – that’s my philosophy”Thornton Wilder I had peaches. I had plums. I had a firm grip on the whisk & the ice-cream scoop! Did I mention a firm resolve to make ice-cream before July flew right by? Does anyone know what’s happening to the summer months? Everyday flies by so fast that I’m having a tough time keeping up with July. Announcing July as the official National Ice Cream Month is a deliciously wicked way to make July enticing… “Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United…

BACK TO SCHOOL VEGGIE PIZZA IN A GARLIC PESTO CREAM SAUCE
“If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.”Edgar W. Howe Oh how I love this quote…what a lot said in a nutshell on the lives of mothers!! The kids are excited to be back to school (& so am I). Two months of vacation are finally drawn to an end, & schools have reopened. What a relief. It’s been a long two months & I’m looking forward to some sort of routine in life again. No dragging them out of bed at 9am anymore, blah, blah, blah…! Phew! They’ve enjoyed their vacations, a lot…

MINI PEACH, CHERRY & BLUEBERRY GALETTES with almonds -Little bites!
“Yield to temptation — it may not pass your way again” Lazarus Long Do you get hypnotized by certain posts. I’m afraid I’m afflicted by this strange phenomena, but I love it. And it kicks in whenever I see a post with galettes, the sweet ones, full of fruit. I find galettes to be very ‘free spirited’….…in the sense that they don’t need to conform to boundaries, something that is reflective of my inherent nature. I like my freedom, I like rustic & moreish appeal, so I like galettes. Inspiration continues to come from unexpected sources. Been twittering with Edna’s Cafe for really long, & so one fine day decided…

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,…

BEANIE TORTILLAS
“Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art. It requires instinct and taste rather than exact measurements.”Marcel Boulestin We’re going off to a beautiful little hamlet in the Himalayas, called Ramgarh, for a couple of days but this is a post that I’m rushing to put on this post on tortillas. More so, for my friend Ben from What’s Cooking US our monthly Homemade challenge. This month we are making tortillas. I made a vegetarian filling this time & using cannellini beans. Didn’t reveal the ingredients to the kids as the lad will not touch his lentils. They had a fine time trying to figure out what was inside, &…
