Ambrosia means “food of the gods” and I swear if you’ve ever studied the perfection of a perfectly ripe raspberry or swooned over the sweet golden apricot, this is the recipe for you:
Summer Fruit Ambrosia with Vanilla Nut Cream
(Darrell tries to fix Cynthia’s hot flash fan)

Get gorgeous summer fruit at your local farmer’s market and top it with simple sensuous nut cream (made from cashew, vanilla, maple syrup and water – that’s all!).  Then sit back with your dessert bowl and spoon and read about Margaret Wittenberg’s New Good Food, then find out why tomatoes like girly voices better than man tones.  

Frozen treats that can be made using fresh summer fruit.  Make 'em creamy with coconut milk or vanilla yogurt.  Watch the video and print the recipe on Cookus Interruptus.
