Summer
Rhubarb and Strawberry Milk Shake
I love, love, love this "milk" shake (which is actually not made with any dairy products). Forget the milk shakes you can buy in those fast food places because this is the real deal.
Salad with Tahini Dressing
I am a big salad fan. I love salads and could eat them every day.
Strawberry and Banana Ice Lollies
I love ice lollies. When I was a little girl I used to live in Canada (from 3-7 years old) where of course there are warm summer days.
Rhubarb and Strawberry Ice Cream
I love rhubarb, especially when teamed with strawberries. My friend Elva often gives me rhubarb and when she does I go rhubarb-crazy making everything with rhubarb.
Passion Fruit and Mango Smoothie
This drink is like Africa (or at least Tanzania and Kenya) in a tumbler. There are very few things that have reminded me as much of those places as the first sip I took of this drink.
Tanzanian Sambaro Carrots
These carrots I often call "carrots with a twist" and I love them served as a side dish of African or Indian food.
Salsa (Tomato Salsa)
I love tomato salsa. It is one of those healthy side dishes you can even order at a crap restaurant, serving disgusting food and it will still be mostly healthy and most often delicious.
Grilled Pepper and Olive Relish
This is a delightful little salad/relish, perfect as a sandwich topping or as relish with grilled food. It is a nice alternative to the usual salad.
Courgette Hummus
This is a similar recipe to the one I found in the wonderful book Rawvolution by Matt Amsden.
Irio (Mashed Potatoes with Onion and Peas)
I have had Irio on many occasions when travelling through Kenya. It is originally a dish of the Kikuyu people.
