Lemon and poppy seeds are a well-known combination, and these cupcakes add a zesty flair to any tea table or picnic basket. The fresh thyme gives a lovely botanical flavour to the cupcakes, making them a little more sophisticated. The ratio of lemon juice to icing sugar adds just enough acidity to the recipe to balance out the sweetness and rounds the cakes off beautifully.

In summer, it’s always fabulous to have a dessert, but definitely not a warm one, even if it’s a baked version of some sort. I love to serve this frozen terrine, as it always looks so impressive. The combination of the vanilla cake, creamy ice cream, toasted macadamia nuts, berries and chocolate is popular with everyone.

’n Vinaigrette kan selfs as ‘marinade’ gebruik word. Enige van die twee weergawes is heerlik om hoender, vis of groente mee te meng en dan te rooster. Die resep maak genoeg vir meer as een ete, so hou die res in die yskas vir tot ’n week.
