easy rose ice cream

by rights this ice cream should be pictured nestled amongst pretty pastel-coloured rose petals to signify its delicate perfumed flavour. instead you'll have to make do with this more simple picture of it, in a cone, ready to be eaten as i sat in the summer sun in our garden.

the recipe is an adapted version on my easy vanilla ice cream, with 2 teaspoons of rosewater replacing the vanilla. very easy, very delicious.

feast for a fiver

my recipes for lemon & mackerel pilaf and berry ripple ice cream have been featured in today's guardian newspaper, in an article which called for people to share their menus for two courses which feed two people for under a fiver. see what other menus were suggested here, including one from dinner diary.

the article was in response to a series of menus suggested by well-known chefs which were derided on the guardian blog for being unimaginative. i think we, the readers, did better than the chefs. what do you think?
