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…

MANGO GINGER BASIL SORBET…YES, IT’S THE PERFECT SCOOP!!
“Don’t limit my taste. There’s some jazz that I like and there’s some opera. I’ve been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.” Rick Moranis Caught sight of a fabulous, lip-smacking, refreshing mango sorbet teasing me at different times…enticing, delectable, torturous at times. Got tortured by Cynthia @ Tastes Like Home, by Nic @ Cherrapeno (yellow for Bri), then by Mike @ Mike’s Table, where he had a chilling good frozen event. For some very strange reason I never attempted a mango sorbet the entire mango season. And then, when the mangoes decided to say goodbye, panic set in & silly me decided that…

MANGO JELLY MOUSSE WITH CHOCOLATE…bidding a sweet farewell!
“I love fruit, when it is expensive.” Sir Arthur Wing Pinero The mango season cometh, & now, the mango season goeth!! I think it’s now sadly the fag end of the much touted & celebrated mango season in India…& all stone fruits have beaten a retreat one by one. We are enjoying the last clutch of pretty expensive mangoes which are tortuously bidding us adieu…which meant it was time to make a mangoee something with chocolate for Meeta’s What’s For Lunch Honey? for her event, Monthly Mingle August 2008: Fruit & Chocolate. She called for a combination of fruit & chocolate & I thought this up on a day I…

EXPLOSIVE MANGO-NECTARINE SALAD TO BEAT-THE-HEAT
“In summer, the song sings itself.”William Carlos Williams Fusion of flavours…tantalizing the taste-buds! I beat the heat with this explosive fruit salad. The flavours were refreshingly FRESH, & the dressing complimented the fruit beautifully. Inspired by entries for Beat the Heat that I saw at Ann @ Redacted Recipes, Nic @ Cherrapeno, & Elle’s @ Elle’s New England Kitchen, I set on a no cook trail this morning. Turned to Epicurious found this great sounding ‘no cook’ affair, with great reviews to match…& put this wonderful salad together. The zing of lime, the freshness of mint… Believe it or not, it did BEAT THE HEAT! The temperature is down many,…

QUENCHING THIRST WITH A MANGO COOLER…CELEBRATING SUMMER!
“Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. “ Russel Baker Cooler anyone? Make mine mango… With summer here, a cooler is just the perfect way to chill out. And with mangoes in every avatar flooding markets, how cool would a mango cooler be. In North India, this is a traditional thirst quencher, considered a good way to beat the heat & was made throughout homes across the North. Just the right thing to gulp down when you walk in from searing temperatures hitting 40 degrees C & upwards, & for many, the only way to escape a heatstroke. Aam panna, as it is called…
