SUMMER

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!

Have A Hog Roast

by

We all know that Weddings are often sophisticated delicate occasions to reflect matters of the heart. Flowers are a beautiful touch and hanging lights are just the cherry on the top to add that romantic atmosphere.

However theres no denying, that we all like to really enjoy ourselves tucking into the food and drink as it’s a great thing to bring people together and share a great day, especially when the Summer sun is willing to poke its head out of the clouds.

Here at Vanilla in Allseasons we can provide a delicious hog roast feast, thats great for all the family, especially those who like getting stuck in to tasty meat dishes. It’s a great hearty meal, that looks well presented on the plate, perfect to fill that empty hole after a fun day of dancing and laughing with close friends and family members.

Our Staffordshire Hog Roasts supplied by J.J.J Heathcoats in Bollington are roasted on the spit for 6 hours and you can also choose your own, from a choice of three of our home made juices made by our top chef Simon who has worked in some of the best restaurants of the North West. Our marinades create a unique taste that goes perfectly with the tender meat.

It’s that time of year again, Wimbledon is here!

by

It’s that wonderful occasion when we all get together for the classically British tournament that was formed in 1868, can you believe it?

Some of us will be glued to the television (the radio, or constantly checking updates online) for results, or are you the unfortunate one left sighing in the corner with your battle for the TV remote firmly lost.

Whether you’re a fan of Wimbledon, or not, we are pretty confident that most of you like to indulge in the classic Wimbledon related goodies which come along with the sport!

You don’t have to enjoy tennis to sneak in some traditional Wimbledon strawberries and cream, right?

Well, we can go one step further and show you our fabulous eton mess to awaken the chef within you:

and here’s our classic raspberry mousse dessert:

to help you get inspired for the Wimbledon week!

We love the Summer, it’s that season when all those juicy red berries are ripe, and the British strawberry is at its best! Just perfect for some tennis treats!

So why not experiment with more complex sweet desserts and really get into the wimbledon spirit? Invite the family round, friends, even the neighbours and let’s spread that Wimbledon spirit together! Let’s get creative:

C’mon Murray!
