Strawberries ..... Mood = Three ways

As you may have noticed, i am on a little bit of a small trend by doing things three ways these days. It just makes things a little more exciting for me and also gives me a chance to experiment and show you what you can do with everyday foods. Today is Strawberries. I went a little crazy buying fruit and vegetables the other day (i bought a juicer and am a little excited) and now i have so much hanging around that i am just making dishes all the time.

I had just made an enormous red velvet cake for a friend and had some left over so i used some of that as the base for one of them. You can really rummage through your cupboards and fridge and you will always find some thing. ALWAYS!


I remember once at work, we had a random group of people arrive and they wanted to spend alot of money and wanted things off the menu and whatever we had in mind. It was quite strange as this does not usually occur so we had to literally take everything out of the firdge and create around 15 different canapes just off the top of our heads and serve them to the 10 diners downstairs. It was fun and exciting to see what everyone could come up with. So my point here is you can always find something to make or add to your dish to make it a little but different.

So my 3 strawberry dishes were.....

Stawberry shortcake with red velvet crumbs and vanilla yoghurt

Strawberry and mixed fruit smoothie with a zing of ginger

Strawberry with vanilla ice cream

You may think that some may sound simple, but that is what creating is about sometimes. When they are all presented together they look simply perfect.

You have a look and tell me what you think. And if you have any other ideas let me know.

Ps. for the vanilla ice cream shot glasses, if you do make them for a party or something like that get them ready and keep them in the freezer till ready to serve.

Although it is not exactly the season for strawberries in this country, we are lucky enough to find them, but at a premium, from other countries, like Egypt, and Spain at this time. The best time is to buy strawberries from the UK is during the end of April to July. But the ones from abroad are perfectly good for now....

I hope you enjoy the the strawberry Hat-Trick !!!

NB: Hat-Trick means when things come in 3.... You learn something new everyday. Well i did !!!! Thanks Pavlos....
