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,…

FROZEN STRAWBERRY YOGURT…a refreshing ice-cream in disguise!
“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” Voltaire And when it is ‘N O F A T’, as in fat-free, insanely fruity & tangy, & has yogurt, then it’s even bettah! This refreshing Frozen Strawberry Yogurt is much the ice-cream that I crave, & has all the goodness of the world stirred inside it. Stirred because it’s hand made, yes you heard right, as I don’t own an ice-cream machine, & David Levobitz is quite right when he says you can make ice-cream without a machine. Rolling lasagna for Daring Baker’s Lasgana of Emilio Romagna (embarrassingly I was amongst a large number of us who thought Emilio…

SCREAMING FOR PEACH MANGO ICE-CREAM…
“An apple is an excellent thing — until you have tried a peach.” George du Maurier Here’s an ice-cream that left us screaming for more…literally!! Helped the daughter make this a couple of weeks ago coz she wanted to make peach ‘something’…peach anything actually !! Peaches have flooded our market this year & tempt me endlessly. Quite insanely, I can hear them calling to me from their shelves in the local bazaar. All summer fruits are far too irresistible, so I always come back home with bagfuls – plums, apricots, peaches, mango, cherries…! The heat notwithstanding, I can spend happy hours browsing through racks / baskets of these sweet nothings,…

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.…

MANGO ICE-CREAM SWISS ROLL DESSERT…ROLLIN’ IN MANGOES!
“Ice cream is happiness condensed.” Jessi Lane Adams Simple ‘n’ Sensational…an Ice-cream Swiss Roll This is by far the simplest & most versatile baked dessert that I have tried several times over & in many combinations. The Swiss roll is very pretty, is adaptable to personal taste, & also makes a fab frozen dessert. DH & the kids were ruing the absence of exciting dessert for many days. A bite of after dinner chocolate seemed to work for a few days, but not too long. I had some mango ice-cream left-over in the freezer & thought we could polish that off. But the foodie in me got the better of…
