To recap, before the Christmas in June and New Year in July ideas I'd given you a trio of treats – Sweet white miso ice cream, Miso Caramel Sauce and Banana Cake.
I left it that I was sending out the trio of treats to my taste testers - off went my goodie bags and I waited with baited breath! My testers love ice cream so it was hopefully going to receive a good review.
My friend Morag invented the Lip Smackingly Good category and I'm delighted to say the trio achieved that rating! Morag had never tasted sweet white miso delights which is all the more reason for me to ask her to give her opinion. “... a sweet hit followed by a salt hit – delicious - the combination of warmed cake and the miso caramel sauce with cold sweet white miso ice cream was so good, a huge tick”.
Thank you Morag!
On the strength of Morag's rating I've included the miso caramel sauce and the ice cream in a menu for an upcoming birthday gift, serving them with fresh seasonal raspberries and a side option of rocky road, just for the fun of it – I'll report back.
Next up, I've mentioned more than once our dear friend Sally who has been poorly, having suffered a stroke, I'm happy to report she is now at home recovering and doing very well. We've both been dropping off food treats to cheer her up each week. We all know that home cooked favourites are what we crave when we're not feeling 100% and it's wonderful to be tempted with goodies, especially when you're adding a huge dollop of love!
Morag, Sally and another friend Anita are regular visitors to the MiamMiam Cookery School and so we all know our respective likes and dislikes.
Here's one of Sally's favourites ...
