PEACHES & CREAM…A truly sublime dessert!
“Chocolate’s okay, but I prefer a really intense fruit taste. You know when a peach is absolutely perfect… it’s sublime. I’d like to capture that and then use it in a dessert.” Kathy Mattea Peaches ‘n’ Cream… As summer proceeds & the weather becomes even hotter & hotter each passing day, we are rewarded by fruits as luscious as peaches! Strange are the ways of nature, where we are subjected to harsh, scorching summers on one hand, & rewarded with fruits as sweet & juicy as nectar on the other!

IN THE PLUM OF THINGS…A sweet tale of sauce & ice-cream
“A sauce…..adds something, really two things: a taste as well as the opportunity to think about how the thing was made.” Raymond Sokolov Spicy Sweet Plum Sauce Plums ‘n’ Cherries…the fruit of summer! Plum, Cherry & Black-cherry Conserve Ice-cream Fresh fruit in food is my kind of thing. Summer brings with it delightful juicy fruit from the hills of Jammu & Kashmir, (Gurgaon & Delhi lie in the plains of North India where the weather these days is HOT, HOT, HOT), & one just cant seem to get enough of these delicious fruit. Have to limit the amount of sweet in everyday food, but the temptation is far too great.…
