I must be the last person in Denmark, who hasn’t understood that we live in dangerous times. While I was in Utrecht last week, there had been some cases of killer cucumbers in Germany (infested with e-coli bacteria) which made every single vegetable and piece of fruit coming from either Germany or Spain (that part I didn’t quite catch) seem very ominous. Suddenly all of our good intentions concerning a proper green-filled diet had been turned into a game of Russian roulette.

Ahh David Lebovitz, don’t know the guy but I hear he’s living in Paris. Anyway, he has a very nice blog and some cookbooks on his conscience and that’s how I stumbled upon his recipe for Mint Chip Ice Cream. You see, I too have childhood memories of scooping up some kryptonite-green ice cream into the funny wafer cones my grandparents had back in Gordonvale. Naturally I had to try David’s version, especially because it promised to be much less damaging to my Superwoman shield, what with the natural colouring and all. Anyway, just thought I’d share my results with you and pass on the recipe to any of you who might also like the combo of cream, mint and dark crackling chocolate strings in one cool bowl of happy.

Okay, it seems it’s going to be another post about another tart. But what a tart! Imagine the flavour of roasted hazelnuts and creamy chocolate truffle in one crunchy bite. Not bad eigh? And for once, the recipe’s a real no brainer.

Hello honeyz! It’s Sunday night at the lazy mansion and I want to tell you about last week’s treat for the knitting club (yes, I am 80 years old and need to start wearing a diaper). I had two friends over for a knitting session and made some toffee from a Swedish recipe book called “Julgodis” (~Christmas candy, a book by Johanna Westman about whom I know absolutely nothing, but seeing as you have a computer too you can do me the honour of googling her yourself, lazykins). It contains a lot of very accessible recipes for hard caramel, soft toffee and all sorts of chocolates. Very tempting stuff. Here’s a combination of two recipes of hers, or rather one roughly translated lemon toffee recipe with a bit of ginger. It’s dead easy. Hell, I think you can have it done by the time a new X-Factor contestant is voted off the island. And then you get to sit there and gloat while enjoying the lemony-gingery butterness of the softest toffee you’ve ever had.
