Frozen Dessert| Strawberry Fresh Mint & Lime Sorbet … summer’s here & macarons too!
What better way to welcome the dreaded HOT days of summer. This is a natural and sensational sorbet to beat the heat. It is fresh and exciting, and a wonderful way to use summers bounty. My mint patch is overflowing and I loved that I could add fresh mint to the strawberries.

Delicious Strawberry Apple Crumble … a very easy heart friendly dessert!
One of my favourite fruit bakes ... A heart friendly dessert with complex carbs, delicious fruit and low calories. Use fruit of the season, stone and pip fruit work great here, throw in a handful of chopped dry fruit, almonds, pistachios, walnuts etc, then throw in some tart cherries, craisins, raisins if you like, add some fresh herbs like thyme for a nice Spring feel … and bake until the juices begin to enticingly ooze out. ENJOY!!

Baking| Strawberry & Lemon Curd Shortbread
Oh the power of food, always A M A Z I N G!! I enjoyed making these. Loved the different textures, the colours, the burst of flavours from the rather buttery unsweetened shortbread to the sweet tart lemon curd, with the strawberries lending their ever promising magic to the wedges.

Blueberry Lime Buttermilk Pound Cake
Blueberries & lime - a combination made in heaven, makes for beautiful pairing. The buttermilk in the pound cake gives it a beautiful, light crumb. It's very nice warm, and good even the next day. The blueberries rehydrate with the lime and buttermilk and add glory to the cake. This is one basic cake I make ALL the time, the recipe lives in my head, and takes any number of flavour combinations willingly.
