A FEW years ago, I saw the ultimate quick mix ice-cream. It involved a full jar of marmalade and a large carton of double cream which had been whipped until thick – mix the two ingredients together and freeze and, voila, marmalade ice-cream.

Today’s recipe is not quite as simple, but the principle is the same – a quick fix ice-cream, which I have just taken a couple of stages further.

You can use fresh or frozen raspberries and if you want to omit the amaretti biscuits, it is no big deal. However, I do like the texture that it adds.

A simple but interesting vegetarian dish

VEGETARIANS often get short-changed. However, it is not difficult to come up with some simple yet interesting dishes.

Combinations of spices work particularly well with cheese, and I am very fond of feta.

Its creamy taste works wonderfully well with spices and most ingredients for that matter. Combine it with some watermelon, which cuts well with the creamy texture.

Don’t be frightened of experimenting with other melons or cheese, but try this first.
