"This is such a wonderful summertime treat! I have used all kinds of fruit combinations in this; use your imagination. Far richer and intense in flavour than anything you can buy, and yet it's almost all just healthy fruit. The fruits that work best have a fairly smooth fleshy texture; things like mangoes, muskmelons, peaches, apricots, and bananas...."

Ingredients: fruit, mangoes, peaches...

"I found this recipe on the New York Daily News website. One of the reasons I like this recipe so much is that it uses the food processor, which combines the scone dough beautifully. If you don't have a food processor you can use your hands, and I can guarantee a good workout in the process. Another reason I like this recipe is because it uses dried..."

"For my 46th birthday my husband treated me to a one-evening cooking course. It must have been one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever had. This recipe is from that course. The instructor served this to us before he even began to show us how to cook anything, and it was the perfect start to the whole evening."

Ingredients: ice, lemon juice...

"You just can't stop eating this! Think of it as crab-artichoke dip, but with asparagus in place. The asparagus adds texture and color where artichokes get mushy and lost in the dip. I could eat the entire recipe as a meal. It may not make much, but it's worth it! Leftovers can be reheated the same way. RSC4"

"You can also use this filling as a frosting, freeze it up for "ice cream" or just eat as is! I did! Perfect for our vegetarian friends! This recipe is long and involved, but it produces a delicious product (and healthier than deep-fried cannolis). Crepes are tricky little suckers - expect to lose a few (I did) - so it's hard to tell..."
