Panna cotta is normally made with cream, but it can be very rich. This is my favourite version and it is much healthier as I use less cream. Buttermilk and yoghurt split quite easily when heated, so follow the method carefully for the best results.
When it is berry season and you have them in abundance – make jam! My go-to is this strawberry jam recipe. Jam is normally very sweet, but you don’t need as much sugar in this recipe. The lemon juice helps to set the jam and the vanilla pod adds a wonderful flavour, making it more than just jam for toast or buttered bread. It goes well with French toast, waffles, crumpets and even for breakfast or dessert with yoghurt, fresh fruit and nuts. Spread it between two layers of butter cake or use it as a sauce for pudding.
A bowl of oats is a nutritious breakfast and doesn’t have to be the same every day. Here is a fun and colourful way to brighten up your next breakfast. Berries are known for their health benefits as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and a natural way to sweeten the oats. Enjoy the flavour combination of these fruits with a dash of lemon zest, cinnamon and a sprinkle of nuts and seeds.
Beïndruk almal met dié spesiale bessietert. Die delikate broskors is nie moeilik om te maak nie en dit word gevul met ’n tuisgemaakte bakkersvla (crème pâtissière). Die tikkie suurlemoen en vanielje in die bakkersvla en ’n fees van vars bessies, is ongelooflik lekker.
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.
