My lime tree and avocado tree are both full of fruit in winter, so this was almost a way of preserving them. It’s a little out of season for ice blocks, but this will transport you to spring for a moment.
This little ‘instant gelato’ recipe won a silver medal no less! If you are trying to imagine what it tastes like, strawberry cheesecake would be the closest thing I can think of. It’s a great recipe as it doesn’t require churning or a special ice cream machine, or even more than ten minutes of your time!
This tart is almost better cold the next day than it is straight from the oven, making it perfect picnic food. Feel free to use puff pastry instead of shortcrust, but still leave a border around the edge so that you get a lovely crust.
This sauce is essentially a ‘cooked salsa’ to serve on fish, chicken or even beans, rather than as a pasta or pizza sauce (although go right ahead!).
This tomato medley salad plays on the subtleties of the varieties’ flavours with a contrasting whipped feta and a sweet honey-chilli drizzle. Make extra of the whipped feta and the honey-chilli drizzle to reconstruct this later as a dip with other garden goodies. Though, honestly, it is best with fresh tomatoes – an addictive combination.
