Ice cream anyone?<br />

If the answer’s ‘yes, yes, yes’ then<br />

grab a copy of Jude’s Ice Cream &<br />

Desserts. From simple, refreshing<br />

treats (orange lollies) and sorbets like<br />

mango and passion fruit or summer<br />

peach, to fluffy buttermilk pancakes<br />

with roasted apple, toasted oats and<br />

ice cream, there’s temptation on<br />

every page – dig in and enjoy! The<br />

many ice cream variations (Earl Grey;<br />

beetroot and ginger – yes, really!)<br />

include several for vegans, but it’s the<br />

desserts we fancy most. How about<br />

cinnamon pavlova with winter fruit;<br />

Julia’s double chocolate brownies or,<br />

by far our fave ... collapsed espresso<br />

chocolate cake, served with ice<br />

cream. Yes, yes, yes! From shakes and<br />

smoothies to sauces and DIY cones,<br />

when deliciousness calls, this is the<br />

book you need. Kyle Books, R378.<br />

Orange lollies recipe<br />

(Makes 4 x 85ml ice lollies)<br />

Juice of 5 - 6 large oranges (roughly<br />

500ml); a squeeze of fresh lime juice<br />

(Note: You will need 4 x 85ml ice lolly<br />

moulds and flat lolly sticks)<br />

Mix the fresh orange juice with the<br />

squeeze of fresh lime juice, tasting<br />

and adjusting to your liking. Pour into<br />

lolly moulds until each one is 3/4 full.<br />

Place moulds upright in the freezer<br />

for about an hour before pushing<br />

sticks into each mould. Freeze<br />

for a further 3 hours or preferably<br />

overnight. Remove moulds from<br />

freezer and briefly dip them into hot<br />

water, then gently pull lollies out of<br />

the moulds and serve immediately.<br />

(Recipe from Jude’s Ice Cream & Desserts)<br />

Low alcohol. Low calories. Great taste. What’s not to love?<br />

This summer we’re being sensible. We’re still celebrating everything summer has<br />

to offer with lovely wines, but we’re choosing those with lighter alcohol levels<br />

and fewer calories. Without, obviously, sacrificing quality or taste.<br />

First on our list to try is the Robertson Winery Light Cultivar range, which is<br />

showing off great new design, too. With around 9 per cent alcohol instead of the<br />

average 12 or 13 per cent, there’s a Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (refreshing, dry, zesty,<br />

about R55), a Chenin Blanc 2019 (off-dry, all yellow apple, pear and floral notes,<br />

around R55); a Pinotage Rosé (a beautiful pale coral off-dry rosé), and a Merlot<br />

(think ripe plum and sweet black cherry flavours). All around R50 to R55.<br />
