    FOOD TRENDS

    There are very few things in

    this world that taste better

    than ice cream. Rich, sugary

    and indulgent, its one of my

    absolute favourite treats,

    and to me no dessert is really

    complete without a dome of creamy vanilla on

    the side. Ill scoff ice cream straight from the

    tub, scooped into a bowl or piled high in a cone

    but this summer, dishing up ice cream is going

    to the next level and I couldnt be more excited.

    You might think that you remember ice cream

    sandwiches from your childhood, but the new,

    improved generation is much more interesting

    and avourful and t to be served even in the

    most top end of restaurants. Forget stale wafers

    and bland blocks of Neopolitan were talking

    soft, crumbly cookies, ice cream studded

    with juicy pink raspberries, and a generous

    drizzle of caramel on top.

    If you can resist this triple-threat bundle

    of deliciousness, youre a stronger woman

    than Ill ever be. If not, just grab a stack of

    napkins and get stuck in. You wont regret it.

    1Line a 2-litre roasting tin with baking parchment. Put 200g raspberries in a food processor with 50g golden caster sugar and 1tbsp cold water. Pulse to make a pure. Spoon the mixture into a sieve over a pan and use a wooden spoon to press through the juice, leaving the pips behind. Remove the sieve, and put the pan on the hob. Bring to the

    boil and simmer for 2-3 mins to dissolve the sugar and thicken the pure. Allow to cool, then chill.

    2 Whisk 3 eggs whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Whisk in 50g golden caster sugar and set aside.

    3 Pour 600ml double cream into a bowl and whisk until thick and mousse-like, but not stiff. In a separate clean bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks with 175g caster sugar until the mixture is pale and foamy.

    4 Use a large metal spoon to fold the cream into the yolk mixture. Fold in a spoonful of the egg white mixture to loosen it, then fold in the rest. Pour into the prepared tin. Freeze for 1 hr.

    FUN IN THE SUNEntertaining the kids during the holidays isnt easy, but these activities should keep them busy!

    HOST A TEDDY BEARS PICNICSmall children will love arranging their own picnic with teddy bears and dolls. They can either set up a blanket in the garden or use play chairs and a table. Fill their teapot with squash and give them biscuits, sweets or even toy food to serve to their guests. Be sure to drop in for a cuppa yourself!

    GO ON AN INSECT HUNTWhether you get them exploring the wonders of the garden, or let them check out the nature in your local park, a hunt for bugs is a fun option for all ages. You could buy them a book about insects so they can identify them, or give them a magnifying JODVVDQGMXVWVHHZKDWWKH\come across on their adventure perfect if you have a pond!

    Artichoke & Ham LasagneTAKES 45 MINS SERVES 4-6

    It can take a whole afternoon to

    make lasagne, but not this one!

    Im a fan of the short cut - and this is a short cut that I think surpasses the original

    Tip: You could use thin slices of prosciutto crudo here (such as Parma ham or San Daniele), but I prefer cooked ham (sold as prosciutto cotto in Italy).

    For the cakes: 150g unsalted butter 150g golden caster sugar NZLSMYHPZPUNV\YNJVYUV\Y3 eggs 1tsp vanilla bean paste

    For the meringue buttercream: 3 egg whites 225g caster sugar A pinch of salt 300g unsalted butter, cubed 1tsp vanilla extract

    For the balloon toppers: 680g Wilton Candy Melts4 tubes of Smarties 1 sheet of edible wafer paper

    1 First, make the toppers. Place the Candy Melts in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (dont let the bowl touch the water), stirring occasionally, until smooth and silky. 2 Place a silicone mat on a board. Use a teaspoon to spread the candy

    in the shape of a bunch of balloons not too big or itll be too heavy and may topple over. Push a lolly stick into the candy and cover with a little more candy to secure. Top each shape with Smarties to form balloons. Repeat to make 12 bunches of balloons make 2-3 at a time so the candy doesnt dry before you stick on the Smarties. 3 Cut 12 long strips of wafer paper and, with a tiny brush of water in the centre, fold each strip in half. Cut very thin strips up to the bend in the centre for the strings. Push the folded end into the candy at the bottom of the balloons (you can trim these later if theyre too long). Leave to dry for at least 20 mins. 4 To make the cupcakes, pre-heat the oven to 160C/Gas 3. Line a cupcake tray with 12 paper cases. Cream the butter and sugar. Sieve the self-raising V\YHUKJVYUV\YPU[VHIV^S(KK[OLeggs to the butter, one at a time with HZWVVUM\SVMV\Y[VZ[VW[OLTP_[\YLsplitting, until its all incorporated. Beat in the vanilla bean paste dont overbeat it or the cakes will be greasy.

    1 For the honeycomb centre, place the sugar and golden syrup into a pan and add 2tbsp water. Allow the sugar to dissolve on a low heat, then bring to the boil until the sugar has reached the crack stage (156C on a sugar thermometer). If you dont have a thermometer, drop a little into a cup of cold water it should become hard at once.2 When the toffee is hot enough, quickly tip in the bicarbonate of soda and stir thoroughly. It will instantly foam up but you need to make sure all the soda crystals have dissolved. Pour onto a greased baking tray and allow to harden. 3 Before it gets too solid, mark the honeycomb with an oiled knife to make it easier to break when hard. 4 While the honeycomb is hardening, melt the chocolate in the microwave and allow to cool. Or melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of boiling water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Gently break the honeycomb into bars and dunk into the cooled chocolate until covered. 3LH]L[VYTVUH^PYLYHJRZL[V]LYa plate, transfer to greaseproof paper in the fridge to set.
