Kitchen Curves

Step aside Nigella, theres a new goddess in the kitchen whipping up
wholesome treats like cauliflower cheese, pear and ginger muffins and
grilled bananas with Greek yogurt and agave.

Model turned writer, Sophie Dahl brings a sweet, nostalgic voice to the
subject of food in her first cookbook, Miss
Dahls Voluptuous Delights ($36.99). A welcome dream was a cloud
made of trifle, a slick spring bubbling with chocolate or a fountain
bursting with forbidden Sprite or Cherry Coke, she writes in her intro.

Herewith, a recipe for Clover Dahl’s (Sophies younger sister) Carnation
milk jelly:

1 packet strawberry jelly
125ml cup hot water
1 can evaporated milk
Slices
of strawberry, swirls of cream and curls of chocolate to decorate
(optional)

Dissolve the jelly in the hot water. When the mixture is cool, whisk in
the evaporated milk until the mixture is thick and frothy. Leave it to
set for at least two hours. Cover the jelly with strawberry slices,
swirls of cream and curls of grated chocolate, if you wish – the camper
the better, really.
