The summers are back…and it has started getting very very hot – which means I am sweating while cooking and taking photographs. On a happier note the market is soon going to be flooded with all types of different fruits and veggies…not that it ever gets so cold here that we cant grow fruits and vegetables. But soon there will be mangoes, passion fruit and lychees in the market. Before the apples went out of the season, I thought I’ll do an apple recipe.
