{Frozen Dessert/No Bake} FRESH CHERRY FRO YO
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate – that’s my philosophy” Thornton Wilder He said this is what helped him survive his recent illness. He said that if it were not for this delightful fro yo, he couldn’t have pulled through the last few days of work under the hot sun, on a melting tarmac in temperatures hovering in the mid 40C’s!

{Baking} VERLET’S APRICOT TART … with peaches & cherries too
“Do something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” Julia Child My first introduction to Julia Child came in Feb 2008 via the Daring Bakers challenge of her French Loaf, when I conquered my fear of yeast. Then last year, the film Julie & Julia ignited my love for French pastry, and in many way, most things French. The film won my heart for everything it offered – food, blogging, Paris, cookbooks; more so because I’m a huge fan of Meryl Streep.
