Lime Recipes
Limes bring an exotic, oriental feel to recipes - and a fair amount of zing! Try Delia's wonderful Key Lime Pie or cooling Lime and Coconut Jellies or ice cream.
Makes 2 pints (1.2 litres)Lime and Mango Ice Cream
In Thailand, mango is served with lime wedges to squeeze over it, the citrus sharpness cutting through the rich, perfumed flesh of the mango. Here, Delia has combined them to create an ice cream that would be ideal at the end of a Thai meal.
Serves 4-6 – makes 1½ pints (850 ml)Coconut Ice Cream With Lime Syrup
Coconut milk powder is a brilliant ingredient when making coconut ice cream and, along with the lime syrup, gives this refreshing dessert more than a little Thai flavour.
Serves 2 as a light lunch, or 4 as a starterFried Halloumi Cheese with Lime and Caper Vinaigrette
Ideally, this quick and easy storecupboard recipe should be enjoyed outside on a warm day: failing that, it will evoke memories of summer with every bite!

Serves 6Lemon and Lime Refrigerator Cake
This recipe was requested via e-mail by Jamie Sherwin. I love having your Cooks' Questions requests, as I haven't made one of these cakes for years and I've forgotten how good it is. Don't forget to start the night before you want it though.
Serves 2Egg and Lentil Curry with Coconut and Pickled Lime
This is one of my very favourite storecupboard recipes. If you always keep a stock of spices and lentils handy and a pack of creamed coconut stashed away in the fridge, you can whip this one up in no time at all. It also happens to be inexpensive and
Serves 8Coconut Lime Cake
This is a summery, fairly simple cake that is particularly great for summer baking. Coconut milk powder is sold via www.the-tryst.co.uk, www.Thai4uk.com and in some branches of Tesco and independent stores.
