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.

She called for a combination of fruit & chocolate & I thought this up on a day I…

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.…

MANGOLICIOUS MORNINGS with FRUITY BEGINNINGS!!
“Marriages are all happy; its having breakfast together that causes all the trouble.” Irish Proverb Mango Fruit Salad with Apricots, Melon, Cherries & basil It’s the month of May, & MANGO, the king of fruits, rules the roost here in India. As far as the eye can see, it’s mangoes all the way. In the midst of this, Arundati @Escapades is hosting this month’s Weekend Breakfast Blogging (WBB) #22; it’s has been aptly christened ‘May Mango Madness’. As she dramatically states, “Melting moments of May have turned up the heat a notch higher…WBB, the event started by the lovely doctor at Saffron trail, stops by at Escapades this month.” With…

MANGO YOGURT PANNA COTTA…A TANGO WITH MANGO!
“…a big part of cooking is choosing the ingredients. And a big part of serving is doing it with pride” Ruth Reichl Mango Yogurt Panna Cotta…light & delicious With the mango season finally upon us, it’s difficult to stay away from this sensuous fruit. It is enticing, it is mesmerising, & it is bursting with juicy sweetness. The season will last the next 3-4 months & I intend to use this luscious fruit as much as I can! I guess you will see quite a few mango posts, some healthy & others not entirely so, popping outta my blog this summer (it’s already 42 degrees C here; small mercies that…
