Grilled Peaches with Thyme

“Dessert is like a feel-good song and the best ones make you dance.” Chef Edward Lee

We’re all about quick, easy, healthy (sometimes), and exciting looking desserts these days at Kitchen Therapy. Perhaps that says a bit more about my time management (read: lack thereof) as well as a few too many impromptu gatherings!

This one is another recipe resulting from a trip, which entailed a bit ton of grocery shopping. I got my hands on the biggest, juiciest and most luscious looking peaches you have ever laid eyes on… yes I am talking about fruit here!

This dessert is made in a jiffy and… okay, I’ll be honest, I ate this for breakfast. Well, not entirely by myself; I was joined at the hip with my pint-sized sister-in-law (hereafter referred to as Little Vini). Little Vini has a fabulous sweet tooth, which helps polish off most of my baking experiments.

Despite being the youngest of this household, Little Vini is really the glue of the family. This tiny girl manages to pack a punch where needed and put all of us in our places when needed. She is all lady-like and charming, but the minute you put a sweet dish in front of her, her childlike glee lightens up the table. It is an utter joy to feed her! God really made her to come here with her delightful spark and beautiful smile to brighten our home.

We are so incredibly blessed… it is true when they say all good things come in small packages!

No churn ice cream is the easiest dessert you will ever make. I've never thought I'd be one to regularly make ice cream at home, but this one is rather good. I had some amaretto with me and decided an ice cream with it was very much in order! I also threw in a lot of roasted almonds and crushed lotus biscuits, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla extract. The ice cream keeps very well, and this recipe can be multiplied to double for larger crowds

Orange + Ginger Loaf

A few nights ago, I was reading a deliciously juice murder mystery novel, set in the 1800s England. A time when each grand home had a butler and tea service was taken very seriously. In there, the protagonist, a relentless young woman, was offered tea with cake as per the rules – man I was born in the wrong era! She described this particular citrus scented cake laced with warm ginger in great detail and I woke with an absolute determination to make one. This cake is a classic loaf cake with lots of warm spicy fresh ginger and orange zest, rubbed into sugar and also, some fresh thyme! This cake holds very well and you can travel with it like I did, and hopefully return with a slice or two just for yourself!
