Our afternoon cooler today - mango lassi. Home made is far superior to anything in a restaurant. Puree some peeled mango flesh if you can, or use good quality tinned puree.

For each cup pureed flesh use 1 cup plain yoghurt, 1 cup water or milk, pinch cardamom, 1/4 cane sugar or white sugar, pinch salt, 8 ice cubes. Blend.

Optionally top with chopped pistachios or almonds, saffron threads or/and cardamom powder.

HEAVEN!

Pasta for lunch - buttery cheesy Tagliatelle with sage and king oyster mushrooms. The sage was inspired by a comment yesterday by @t4ms .

The mushrooms are raw. Basically the dish is pasta tossed in melted butter infused with sage, then lots of parmesan added with the chopped mushrooms. Tossed. A little pasta water added if necessary. Served.

I wish I'd added chopped walnuts and a tiny sprinkling of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley.

There will be a cold green yoghurt-based soup today, some pasta with king brown mushrooms , and more ice cream. Some iced tea. Lots of water.

I have also been thinking about a wonderful avocado cold soup - I must dig out the recipe and make during this hot weather.

Plus - some plain icecream next so I can make iced coffee and spiders.

Our stovetop grill gets a good workout in Summer - it is so easy to throw some veg onto the grill and have wonderful, flavoursome dishes in minutes. Better even when the veg come from the garden. Great for gluts too - eg zucchini and eggplant.

Asparagus too! has a recipe for Char-grilled in that is pretty similar to my favourite recipe. He grills it with evo, salt, pepper, then adds feta and lemon zest.

It's pretty good, but mine is better. 😂

My brother calls beetroot the Prince of Vegetables, only to be eaten with black pepper and horseradish.

So I am baking beetroot wedges tossed in evo, lemon ju, powdered long pepper (pippali) and some salt.

To be served with horseradish cream.
