Low-fat and luscious
Long Description to add
Serves 4Baked Apple Meringues with Orange-soaked Raisins
Who says dieters have to miss out? This wonderful low-fat dessert will please dieters and non-dieters alike and is a good way to achieve one of your five-a-day in the process!
Serves 6-8A Terrine of Summer Fruits
Juicy, jewel-like summer berries encased in a raspberry jelly – what could be more refreshing on a summer’s day when entertaining? Make it in advance and serve it with cream or, for a truly low-fat option, as it is.
Serves 8Cappuccino Cheesecakes
These are so lovely, no-one will know they're low-fat. You do need to make them the day before as they're much easier to remove from the cases if they've had a chance to become firm.
Serves 4Grilled Autumn Fruits with Sabayon Cider Sauce
This is a very pretty and colourful dessert for the autumn or winter. It can be made well in advance as the fruits are served at room temperature, with a sauce to go with them that can either be warm or cooled.
Serves 6Fresh Fruit and Mint Vinaigrette
This recipe was devised by the late and much-missed restaurateur Peter Langan, who served it in his original restaurant, Odin's, on warm summer evenings. It's unusual, but really sharpens the appetite for something more substantial to follow.
Serves 4Coffee Granita
Refreshing to eat and easy to make, all you need to serve this lovely dessert is some whipped cream.
Serves 4Compote of Figs in Port
Dessert figs that have become too dry to eat as they are can be excellent made into a compote. This is superb served with ice cream, but failing that, try it with some Greek yoghurt.
Serves 6-8Debbie Owen's Iced Tea
Hot tea suits the fickle British climate but in hot and humid parts of America this gorgeous iced tea reigns supreme. It was given to me by my friend Debbie Owen and is authentic and wonderful!
Serves 10Mulled 'Wine' for Drivers
Here is something special for Christmas parties and it looks just like mulled wine (below right)!
Serves 1Michael's Mango Fool
I happen to love the taste of fresh mangoes on their own (a combination of peaches and cream all in one fruit, I think). But as my husband rightly points out, you very often find the mango has ripened beyond the point where it can be decently served
