Sea Breeze Strawberry Starter
"A recipe I found on an English website, the recipe is from English chef Elizabeth Treliving who appears regularly on BBC Southern Counties Radio. She is a contract caterer for Garsons Restaurant and has written 'Fresh from the Farm'. I am posting this recipe for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The recipe didn't actually specify how many it is to serve; my guess is four, but it depends, of course, on the size of your serving glasses. The recipe was also non-specific about how much mint was to be chopped and mixed in with the creme fraiche. Please exercise your culinary discretion!"

Well, to be honest, it does have possibilites but is a little bland and soupy as written. It also could have been this new brand of creme fraiche I used, but I had to mix it with a bit of cream cheese, squeeze in a little lemon and then added some lemon zest for uumph, then a little fresly cracked pepper. Interesting and different with potential!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
