Calcium and Vit C in a Glass

October 6th 2011 04:32
mango lassi vitamin-C calcium quick simple


I love it when mangoes are in season. The aromatic fragrance is enough to have you salivating as you impatiently peel and slice it. Though it can be fairly expensive, if you’re willing to put up with a few imperfect ones, you might be able to score a tray for a fairly low price at the markets.


So, what do you do with the few imperfect ones? Though generally too ripe to be enjoyed – if you prefer a bit more texture and firmness – there are numerous recipes you can try out. I like making a Mango Lassi because it’s fairly quick to make and simple too, and it's great for a quick snack or even breakfast.

Here’s my quick and simple version of a Mango Lassi.

What you need:
3 whole mangoes
1 pot of low-fat Greek-style yoghurt ~500ml
2 heaped teaspoons of good honey
a bit of hot water
some cool/cold water

What to do:
1…Peel and dice mangoes into a jug.
2…Melt honey with some hot water then top up to 1 cup with cool/cold water.
3…Add to jug. Add yoghurt. Blitz with a stick blender or in your blender for a few minutes – until desired consistency.
4…Serve chilled. Enjoy!

Tetsuya Black Truffle Salsa Butter


If chocolate doesn’t quite do it for you, and you prefer something creamy and savoury then you’ve got to try some truffle butter! Might sound odd but trust me, it’s exceptionally pleasant on the palate

My mum enjoys baking and have had her little bake-to-order business of wholesome home baked goods for quite a few years now. I’m not an enthused baker and I experiment too much – to my detriment?

First, there were lemons…lemons, lemons and more lemons! They’re cheap and everywhere at the moment. Then the Masterchef Celebrity chefs were pressurised to make a cake. Not just any cake but a ‘Lemon Curd Layer Cake with Fresh Passionfruit’– what a great combination

What’s underneath that crown?

slow-cooker beef vegetables pie stew puff pastry crowns

Puff pastry crowns are typically made over bowls of soup. Golden brown and glistening, it entices you to dig through that pastry to get to the soup. I suppose it makes having a bowl of soup more exciting and more interesting. It’s also probably an alternative to serving bread with the soup, as you can just break up the pastry into the soup.

Are you creamy or crunchy?

It's smooth and creamy versus rough/crunchy and creamy. Both taste as good but possibly only one is your preferred – I guess it depends on what you do with it
