Summer is the best time to cook in my opinion, and it is really when I cook the most! I was hoping you guys could share some of your favourite summer recipes!
I like putting strawberries and calamondin/kalamansi (tiny orange-like things that have a bit of a lime flavor) in lemonade. One time I mashed the fruit first and the flavor came out a lot more, but I always forget to do it again. Unfortunately, my mom's calamondin trees seem to have died... =/ I could really go for some blood orange juice right now.
Speaking of cooking, does anyone know a good Turkish Delight recipe? I have never tried it before, but after watching The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, it just looked sooo good. It looked so gooey and damn tasty. I have such a sweet tooth.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has made me want to try Turkish Delight since I was 12. [google images Turkish Delight] Ah, it looks so good...
There are some recipes for it online, I think if I ever try it I'll go for the one on allrecipes.com, since I seem to have all the ingredients listed there. The other ones ask for things like rosewater or tartar. Though I wonder if leaving those out would make it less authentic.
Oh I looked up that recipe and it does look really easy! I just wonder where you get the rosewater or if you can use other ingredients for flavor. There is a World Market close to where I live, and they have everything. So, I might just check too see if they have rosewater.
