Peach Melba Shortcakes Serves 8

Ready in 35 minutes, plus cooling These shortcakes are perfect for a speedy summer dessert. They take just minutes to make and bake and can be filled with whatever seasonal fruit you have to hand.

Here they are filled with a rich and sweet mascarpone cream with juicy peaches and fresh raspberries but a simple dollop of extra thick cream and some sliced strawberries will be just as impressive.

1

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

2

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the diced butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar then add the beaten egg and milk and mix to a soft dough.

3

Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface and roll out to a 1cm thickness. Using an 8cm round cookie cutter stamp out 8 rounds, gently rerolling the trimmings as necessary. Place on the prepared baking sheet, prick the top of each round lightly with a fork then sprinkle with a little caster sugar.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until risen and pale golden. Carefully transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

5

To make the filling, beat the mascarpone cheese with the icing sugar and cream until smooth.

Push half the raspberries through a fine-holed sieve to make a puree.

6

Slice each shortcake in half horizontally and top the bottom halves with the cream mixture, peach slices and remaining raspberries. Drizzle over the raspberry puree and top with remaining shortcake halves.

Ingredients: • 175g self-raising flour • 1/2 tsp baking powder • 75g butter, chilled and diced • 55g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling • 1 large egg, beaten • 1 tbsp milk

Filling • 125g mascarpone cheese • 2 tbsp icing sugar • 6 tbsp single cream • 175g fresh raspberries • 2 ripe peaches, stoned and sliced

Tip The shortcakes can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container. Fill with the cream and fruit 1-2 hours before serving.

St Lucia

By Solange Hando At the southern end of the Lesser Antilles, in the Caribbean islands, St Lucia is just a drop in the ocean, 27 by 14 miles, with spectacularmountains, lush rainforest and fertile valleys fringed by sandy beaches.

Tossed 14 times between French and English colonial powers, the island has thrown both cultures into the melting pot with a generous helping of African folklore, a little East Indian spice and vestiges of early Amerindian settlers.

English is the official language but Creole, a mix of African dialects and French, is coming back, in tune with the stirring rhythm of reggae and calypso.

St Lucia is tourist-hungry but eco-friendly and most developments have been limited to the north-west around Rodney Bay. There are fine sands and palm trees, a gleaming marina and out on the hilly peninsula, known as Pigeon Island, fabulous views over the shimmering Caribbean Sea on one side and foaming Atlantic breakers on the other.

Pleasure boats sail along the coast looking out for sunfish, dolphins and whales, past the lovely Marigot Bay featured in Dr Doolittle, the fabulous diving sites, hidden coves and sleepy

villages strung with fishing nets and laundry drying on the beach. On a Friday night, when the beat of Afro-Caribbean steel bands echo along the shore, the village of Anse la Raye stages a gigantic fish fry al fresco, a lively family event where all sorts of delicacies bubble in the pots or sizzle in the pans - seafood, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, rice, callaloo soup and more. The national dish is salt fish with green bananas, but equally popular is the fiery pepperpot cooked in cassava juice.

Soufrière, the old capital, nestles below the luxuriant volcanic cones of the Pitons, seen on every postcard, but few visitors linger in town. The world’s only ‘drive-in volcano’ is just a stone’s throw away, seething with sulphurous fumes and gurgling mud, and there are Botanical Gardens with mineral springs, tropical blooms and a stunning Diamond Fall gushing down multi-coloured rocks. To the north, the new capital, Castries, is famed for its Jazz Festival and duty-free malls, gleaming with Colombian emeralds and Amerindian craft, but the old town retains a quaint colonial charm. The cathedral has stunning murals

and stained glass, designed by Nobel-prize artist Dunstan St Omer, no doubt a source of inspiration for myriad craftsmen and painters who have set up home on the nearby Hill of Good Luck.

Climbing the Pitons is strictly for the brave but there are easier treks through the hills and rainforest with jeep safaris heading for remote hamlets, banana plantations and Creole farms fragrant with cinnamon and nutmeg. There may be time to taste cassava bread, bathe in a waterfall and bargain for bird ornaments carved out of coconut shells. At over 3000 feet, Mount Gimmie, the highest peak, rises above it all but views can be enjoyed with no effort at all in the eight-seater gondola offering an expensive but popular ‘sky ride’. There you glide up a hillside, skimming the tree tops, gazing at incense and fern trees, breadnut, blue maho and heliconia, spotting hummingbirds, butterflies, mongoose and tarantulas dangling inches from your face.

Rolling farmlands stretch into the distance, sprinkled with villages where the occasional beat of a Creole drum seems to touch the very heart of this varied and scenic island.

Home Grown Herbs

By Pippa Greenwood www.pippagreenwood.com There’s a really reliable, easy, low-cost and low-effort way to add some zing to yo ur meals; home-grown herbs.

Man y herbs are simple to raise from seed and if you start sowing now you should be able to have a plentiful supply of fresh, tasty herbs to add to salads, sandwiches, stews and stir-fries for months to come. All you need to is a sunny window sill or balco ny, or a well-drained, sunn y spot in your g arden.

Once you h ave your pot to hand, put a bro ken flower pot or other drain age material in the base and then fill with good quality c ompost to within 1cm of the rim of the pot and firm it d own, not too aggressively, but enoug h to ensure that there’s no subsidence later on. With lar ge seeds such as coriander, position the seeds evenly on the compost surface. Sprin kle smaller seed thinly. The seeds need to be covered with compost so use your finger or a First, find some good quality dibber to gently press the multi-purpose compost, your seed in to the very surface of chosen herb seeds and some the compost and then drizz le pots. Good-quality compost is more compost on top to the well worth the little bit extra depth stated on the packet of you need to pay. The style of seed. Water the compost pot is up to you – yo u may thoroughly either from above want to choose a classic Mediusing a watering can with terranean one, or perhaps a rose attached, or by standin g good-looking plastic planter the pot in a sau cer of water for longevity and light-weight for a few minutes until the characteristics.

It’s best to grow each type of Once the herbs are up and herb in its own individu al pot, growing strongly you c an so buy a selection of pots with start to har vest them. Use a minimum diameter of 8cm. sharp scissors or a sharp knife to cut off what you need; this

way you’ll minimise damage to the growing plants and so help to keep them cropping for longer. As long as you keep the pots adequately watered, ideally by watering from the base, they should last for several weeks or months but make sure that the compost is not too wet or else your herb pots won’t last long. If you find t hat you’re not eating them fast enough, store some for later use. Ice cubes give you a re ally great fresh-herb taste off-season.

Just half fill ice-cu be tray sections with water. Add chopped fresh herbs to each section and top u p with water. Label the tray as they c an be difficult to identify. You can then simply pop them whole into stews and casseroles as and when you need them.

Top herbs that grow well from seed: There are lots of herbs which do very well in pots when sown from seed. Some of my favourites include Italian or Genovese basil, lemon basil, chervil, Coriander ‘Cilantro’ for leaves, flat-leaved parsley, Ainse, Thai basil, chervil, chives, fennel, garlic chives.

Marla Cilley The Fly lady Did life happen and your dreams get put on the back burning? This has occurred to most of us. We have all heard that procrastination is the thief of time. I don't think that is entirely the case. Time is constant; we all have the same hours in every single day, it is how we choose to use those hours that steals the time. We all seem to think that things will take longer than they really will, so we talk ourselves out of doing them.

Just what have you been procrastinating about lately: Laundry, getting the car washed or is it something much deeper than household chores?

mention what you are robbing the world of: YOU! When your heart is not in what you are doing then nothing will ever make you happy! It doesn't matter if you make all the money in the world, if it doesn't make you happy it means nothing. Happiness comes from within. This is what FLYing is all about. Finally Loving Yourself enough to know that for some reason you are not happy. You thought getting the house clean was all it would take to make you happy.

As you learn the FlyLady way of breaking things down into Have you gotten in a rut? Not a babysteps; you will find the bad rut; but let's say a comfort- right path that is going to lead able rut. You know the same ole you to true happiness. This hapsame ole! You go through your piness starts by letting go of day without any thought about procrastination and perfectionyour passion. Passion: What is ism. that anyway?

I never knew what I wanted to When procrastination gets in be when I grew up. For years I the way of your passion; it bewas a bookkeeper, then I taught comes an excuse to not follow Fly Fishing. I was not fulfilling your dreams. We have all said it my destiny because I still had an in some form or fashion, "I don't empty hole to fill. Nothing have time to go back to school would fill up this hole; spending and finish my degree". This "I money, relationships, food or don't have time" attitude gives anything else I used to keep me us the excuse to not be or do in my rut. what we were put on Earth to do with our lives. You are robYou see; ruts keep you in a path bing yourself of you! Not to that is not your choosing. Be-

22

cause it is so hard to get out of the rut, it is just easier to continue on this sidetracked journey. I can hear you now, "but I did choose my path!" Did you really or did circumstances just put you in this position.

Some people never get out of their ruts of procrastination. It involves too much change.

When we allow our routines to take over the maintenance of our home and we are on automatic pilot then we are freed up to follow our dreams one babystep at a time.

It was only after I got rid of my clutter and found my routines that my purpose for living was revealed to me. Open up your hearts by taking care of the things you have been putting off till later. Later is a lie that never happens unless you set your mind to clearing out your mind clutter! That is all procrastination really is!
