Every summer I love to cook one of my favourite recipes from Nigella Lawson’s Forever Summer cook book, Chicken and Cashew Nut Curry (I didn't have any cashews this time). It’s a soft mellow mild curry but without the fierce bite. I love the notes of ginger, green chillies, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cardamom and coconut milk; all of which add the most amazing flavours. I love this served alongside basmati rice and naan bread. This is a quick but delicious curry and one I have served to friends and family with rave reviews. Perfect for dining al fresco on a summer evening!
I spotted this heavenly dessert in my latest edition of Delicious magazine and it was love at first sight! This is definitely something my boys and I would enjoy for that weekend dessert fix and what could be better than ice cream in this summery weather but not just any ice cream. The following may cause a dangerous craving!!! These ice cream bars come in the form of a buttery shortbread base, good quality vanilla ice (Haagen Dazs), dulce de leche, raspberries and more shortbread! I did warn you!!!
I spied these ice cream bars in Delicious and you make them look even more delicious than the magazine did! If only I had room in my tiny freezer to try them.
ReplyDeleteI saw the ice cream bars in delicious too. My ice cream maker arrived on Friday so was going to have a go at making the ice cream myself! I'll let you know how it goes!
