Whether you prefer sour green or tart-sweet red gooseberries, this vibrant purple pie screams out for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A goose-shaped cutter adds a touch of whimsy.
You will have more than enough icing, so you may want to drizzle on a little extra. If you're in a hurry, use 1 pkg (397 g) frozen puff pastry instead of making your own.

A classic Canadian staple becomes an instant hit in bite-size form. Mini-buns are available in many grocery stores or on special order from some bakeries.

Sponge or sandwich?
There’s some debate over the correct name for this British teatime classic, with some experts pointing out that a true sponge contains no fat. What’s sure is that the Victoria sandwich, doyenne of the village fête, was named in honour of Queen Victoria. In mourning after the death of her husband, Prince Albert, in 1861, The Queen retreated to her Isle of Wight home, where she was encouraged to give tea parties, and the Victoria sandwich was born. It was a new invention, baking powder, that gave the cake its heavenly rise.
This sodium-reduced, vegetable-packed dinner is full of flavour and comes together in half an hour. Add a few fresh basil leaves for a pretty garnish.
