Although English scholars<br />
through the ages have wracked<br />
their massive brains for a word<br />
to rhyme with the name of this tasty,<br />
Vitamin C-rich citrus fruit, we have at<br />
last solved the riddle. We think “orange”<br />
rhymes with “delicious!”<br />
Imported citrus fruits are at<br />
their best at this time of year so<br />
give these four juicy recipes a try. A<br />
stunning platter of oranges and dried<br />
fruits make an easy and refreshing<br />
(and so healthy) starter or dessert. A<br />
traditional Asian orange beef dish<br />
has been contemporized using fresh<br />
tangerine segments and chilies in a<br />
light orange-infused oyster and hoisin<br />
sauce. Lobster and seared scallops are<br />
enrobed in an orange- and vanillainfused<br />
butter sauce and lastly, for a<br />
springtime brunch, try this refreshing<br />
orange and cranberry strata laced with<br />
cinnamon, ricotta and mascarpone<br />
cheese paired with a fresh berry sauce.<br />
