CREATIVE CATERING

When I say I’m inspired, it’s an understatement! Fresh Living has equipped me with all the skills I need and the best, most sensational ideas for my catering business. My days are fi lled with every dietary requirement known to man, as I cater for a corporate fi rm with some very fussy eaters! This magazine has given me some incredible recipes for vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters and more. I so look forward to each edition for inspiration and lunch ideas. Many thanks for this wonderful magazine!

21 March is World Down Syndrome

Day. Use the day to inform yourself, take part in events and donate to Down syndrome causes. ➜ Down syndrome is a genetic condition, not a disease, caused by having three copies of the genes on chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. ➜ It’s one of the most common chromosomal disorders in humans, with one in 1 000 babies born with Down syndrome every year. ➜ Children with Down syndrome have developmental delays, but can grow up to lead independent lives and often participate in sports (specialolympics.org).

Guilt-free pavlova nests!

Make the most delicious Easter dessert with LANCEWOOD’s creamy No Sugar Added Low Fat Blackberry & Cherry Yoghurt. It’s the perfect fruity topping for crunchy, marshmallow-like pavlova nests

NO SUGAR ADDED

PAVLOVA NESTS WITH BLACKBERRY & CHERRY YOGHURT

Place 4 egg whites in a stand-mixer bowl. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (the meringue points stay upright when the whisk is lifted). Combine 1 cup (250ml) Sweetly baking sugar (non-nutritive sweetener) with ½ tsp (3ml) ground cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg (optional). Add 1 Tbsp (15ml) spiced sugar at a time to the meringue mixture, whisking for 3-5 minutes until sugar dissloves before adding the next spoon. Once all sugar has been added, the meringue should have a thick, glossy texture. Whisk in 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla essence, ½ tsp (3ml) orange essence, 2 tsp (10ml) cornfl our and 1 tsp (5ml) white vinegar until combined. Place generous dollops of meringue mixture onto a lined baking tray, creating six 10-12cm wide by 2-3cm high “nests” using a spoon. Push a hollow into the centre of each nest, using the back of the spoon. Bake meringues for 1 hour at 120°C. Turn off oven and cool meringues in oven for at least another hour. (Do not open the oven door!) Place cooled pavlova nests on a serving platter and fi ll each centre with 2-3 Tbsp (30-45ml) LANCEWOOD® No Sugar Added Low Fat Blackberry & Cherry Yoghurt. Top with fresh raspberries and blackberries and garnish with mint leaves to serve. Store the unfi lled meringue “nests” in an airtight container for up to two days, if not serving immediately.
