Enjoy Homemade Frozen Yogurt

by

We love relaxing in the Summer with a nice cold frozen yogurt. It’s not long that we can enjoy the sunshine here in England so it’s great to make the most of it and enjoy the time to the full potential with an array of tasty frozen treats. Ice cream and lollies are the obvious choice in the sunshine, but to discover a tasty and healthier option frozen yogurt is the perfect alternative choice.

Making your own frozen treats may seem like a difficult task, but all you need is the patience to allow it to freeze! Selecting your own fruits and flavours will make it the tastiest treat just for you. One of our favourite flavours is ‘Blueberry Frozen Yogurt’, all you need is a food processor and 4 simple ingredients. Simply follow the recipe here:

Ingredients:
4 cups of frozen blueberries
3 tablespoons of honey
1/2 cup of coconut yogurt
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
3/4 cup flaked coconut (if you want to add this tasty extra)

Add all blueberries, honey, yogurt and lemon juice to your food processor and mix together for 5 minutes, so they smooth out nicely. Then add the mixture in to a container and leave until ready to serve. Simply check the mixture after several hours, and then serve with the flaked coconut on top for a special extra.

Treat yourself and create a tasty treat!

Creating the Perfect Mediterranean Dish

by

This time of year has us feeling all Summery, and when the sun comes out we wish for nothing more than to be sat on a Spanish beach taking in the view and sipping a sangria.

What also gets us excited here at Vanilla In Allseasons is the beautiful latin cuisine. Mediterranean food often refers to food originating from regions close to the Mediterranean sea from countries such as Albania, Egypt, Portugal and of course Spain.

Mediterranean food is rich with flavour, from the beautiful meats which are often included in its dishes such as anchovies and tasty smoked ham. Not only does it taste great but it looks fantastic too. The range of lovely grilled vegetables brings a vibrant set of colours and creates a sweet smell that helps make the Mediterranean cuisine both scrumptious and fragrant.

We at Vanilla love working with Mediterranean food and have a Mediterranean inspired menu. Take a look at page 9 of our formal menu here to find more about our amazing Mediterranean options.
