Summer Mango Flummery

Summer Mango Flummery

  • Time: 15mins + 1 hour chill time
  • Complexity: easy

This is an impressive dessert perfect for summery nights with a delicious taste that belies it's kilojoule content. It can be made the day before and topped with fresh mango before serving making an easy solution to dinner party meals.

For a creamy mouth-feel we stayed away from the diet yoghurts and chopped the mango for decoration at the last minute to prevent browning.

  • Time: 45 minutes (including roasting time)

This roast pumpkin, baby spinach, walnut and fetta dish comes from my foodie friend, Lizzy who writes about fresh food on her food blog called Bizzy Lizzy's Good Things. She says her cooking is often inspired by the sheer beauty and abundance of the ingredients available at the markets. This recipe is a based on a takeaway she picked up from a cafe but, as she says 'Forgive me for saying, but my version is much tastier'! I heartily agree.
