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…

MY BLOG TURNED 1…MARKING MY MILESTONE WITH STONE-FRUIT!
“Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.”Jean Paul Richter I’M GLAD TO BE 1 !! It’s been a while; I’ve finally crawled in & turned 1….after everyone & their cousin’s blogs have done it. Been waiting for long enough to reach the BIG 1. From being the new kid on the block in August last year, to being part of this GREAT community, it’s been an enjoyable & eye-opening journey.

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,…

GINGERBREAD MEN TO PASS ON THE ARTE Y PICO AWARD!
“Cooking is a language through which a society expresses itself” Jean Soler Wholewheat Cinnamon Ginger Cookies… Made these 2 days ago with Amy @ Familia Bencomo in mind…HUGS to you Amy for the wonderful Arte y Pico award. These gingerbread men are very special because this is a recipe that I worked on a while ago for a teacher in the kids’ school who was HUGE on wholewheat healthy stuff & wanted some yummy cookies. The cookies are crisp, great tasting & cut-out beautifully. My favourite choice for gingerbread men & teddy bear cut-out cookies because these hold shape very well & the colour is just right…WARM & HAPPY!! They…

A TALE OF DIRT PIES & SPICY COOKIES!
“You become about as exciting as your food blender. The kids come in look you in the eye, and ask if anybody’s home.” Erma Bombeck Spicy Cookies Sometimes I think I’m running my personal blog patrol event & the frequency seems to be increasing with all the yummies doing the rounds! Made these ‘healthy’ cookies the other day. I don’t think they can get more healthier than this & stay edible, specially with kids. While browsing Sunita’s blog I stopped at these. She was inspired by traditional gingersnaps & these looked ever so pretty & sounded simple too. I had all the ingredients on hand & couldn’t wait to get…
