Vanilla Scones (And Variations)
A rich vanilla scone that you can change up by adding a range of different ingredients, from fruit to chocolate.
Basil Tomato “Salsa”
I used “salsa” in the name of this recipe for want of a better word. Using “sauce” brings to mind pasta sauce and that is not what this is. It is like pico de gallo, but uses basil instead of cilantro.
Vanilla Cardamom Scones
If you like cardamom, you’ll love these scones. The scone itself is a rich vanilla, but the cardamom icing adds some spice and a lovely scent.
Lime Basil Scones
Like all of my scone recipes, this one is an adaptation of these tasty orange cream scones recipe from A Latte Food. I’ve changed the citrus to lime and added fresh basil for a totally different flavour profile. It sounds odd, but it works.
Orange Smoothie
This smoothie features peaches, mango, and carrot juice. I found the smell and taste of the carrot juice overpowering and not entirely pleasant. Fragrant passion fruit juice masked the carrots completely.
All Hail the Humble Jicama
A jicama is a tuber and it’s the same basic colour as a potato, but that’s where the similarities end. Where potatoes have thin skin and starchy flesh, jicamas have thick, fibrous skin and lighter, juicier flesh, closer in texture to an apple.
