I Is For Ice Cream

I is for ice cream, and one of my favourites is a home made banana, meringue and chocolate ice cream. I’ve been given special permission to let you into the secret and divulge this recipe, which was developed by my friend Hazel Raisbury, a top chef in her day:

Required ingredients:

10ozs whipping cream

5ozs single cream

3ozs sifted icing sugar

2ozs drinking chocolate

2 bananas

8 meringue nests

Steps for cooking icecream:

Break meringues into nut sized pieces and mash bananas with the chocolate powder.
Chill the creams, when well chilled whisk both together until they hold their shape, be careful not to over whip.
Fold in icing sugar and chocolate banana mixture and whisk until smooth.
Fold in meringue pieces and tip into a well greased bowl.
Level out and cover well with foil or a lid and freeze.
The cover stops the top from frosting.

This ice cream will only keep for a week so you have to eat it all quickly! It really is the most delicious ice cream and the meringue just melts in your mouth.

Words beginning with ‘I’ that you might not associate with food and eating include:

insects, but if you’ve watched ‘I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here’ you’ll know that in certain parts of the world many different types of insect are indeed eaten, mainly for their protein,
inky caps, a mushroom that can be eaten, also known as tippler’s bane as it is poisonous when consumed with alcohol, and
inky pinky, a Victorian Scottish dish which is basically cold roast beef or mutton, with carrots, onion and gravy hashed.

Cook At Home For Healthier Food Options

One great advantage of cooking your own meals instead of buying ready prepared food is that you can control what ingredients are used. If you are health conscious or trying to control your weight it pays to create menus and cook the food yourself, using fresh ingredients and low fat options. Typically, processed or ready made meals will contain ingredients that you may not want to include in your diet. Also a wide variety of additives are used in processed foods. These have been known to have detrimental effects on the health of some people. In order to create more flavour in their meals processed food manufacturers often add far greater amounts of sugar, salt and fat than you would use when preparing the same dish at home. Preparing your own food at home gives you total control over what you eat, giving your body a better chance of greater health.

F Is For Fruit

F is for fruit, and also for five a day. In order to stay healthy it is recommended that we eat five portions a day of fruit or vegetables. Many people use breakfast as an opportunity to have their first portion, with fruit forming part of their breakfast meal. Just fruit, fruit on cereal, or even smoothies are all palatable at this time of the day. Mixed varieties of fruit are often eaten in desserts in dishes such as fruit salad, which is healthier than fruit cocktail as this is made from canned fruit and includes added sugar, syrup and many additives that preserve the canned fruit. Fruit salad is made from fresh fruit and the fruits natural juices, although some people do sprinkle suagr into the mix but it really is not needed. To make your own fruit salad follow the steps: Choose any varieties of fruit you would like, cut them into bite sized pieces, put them in a bowl and add a little water or fruit juice.
