Rocket ship–shaped multicoloured ice pops have been an ice cream truck favourite for decades. Ours get their colours from fresh berries. These pops are frozen in stages, so if you're using a mould that requires sticks, choose one without a top or cap that closes off the mould – you'll need to pour more mixture in after you've inserted the stick.
Use cooking apples, such as Northern Spy Crispin or Golden Delicious. They keep their shape and are full of flavour. Note that this tart is a tall one, baked in a spingform pan.
You can use leftover roast chicken, or poach chicken especially for this fresh-tasting spring salad.
Harissa paste, a Tunisian hot sauce made of chilies, garlic and spices, adds a lovely warm zing to the broth of this simple dish. If you like things really spicy, double the amount of paste. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the delicious broth.
A platter of veggies offers kids an array to taste. As well as carrot and celery sticks, try cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, sweet pepper slices and celery hearts.
Grilled and lightly dressed summer vegetables are equally delicious when served warm or at room temperature.
A few pantry staples and just 10 minutes of cooking gives you a pasta dish that is sure to become a weeknight favourite.
Pantry ingredients plus fresh sweet peppers add up to a colourful must-have dish. Serve with Parmesan cheese to sprinkle over top.
