A midsummers nights meal

I guess summer has finally arrived after months of ambivalence and indecision. Trees are laden with soft fruit, markets have become ever more abundant and my inclinations immediate turn to salads, fruit and cooling herbs.Rather going with geography, Im going with season and a menu that reflects delightful summer freshness and plenty. 
Chilled cucumber soup
Melon and presunte de Porco preto
Fish with herbs, butter and garlic, with a caper and chipotle cream sauce
Rice with a medley of baby veg
Plum and strawberry summer pudding
House Cocktail and coffee

love and blessings

OH Kerala !

Well, Joni Mitchell would've sung it if she'd ever eaten there...no direspect to Canadians intended.

So its about time we revisited the sub continent, its been ten years since I was last in India and my heart always yearns to travel east especially to Kerala the gentle queen of the south: Kerala is coconut palms, bananna trees, dense jungles,the home of Ayurveda and the ancient spice trade, with its cardomom, coffee and  pepper, its magnificent sandalwood forests tigers and elephants.
I cant promise an elephant, but I hope we can create a little taste of that other southwest here in the genial, temperate Algarve.

Some homemade vegetable samosas ( beloved snack of all India)
A traditional Kerala fish curry
Cardomom Rice
Mango Raita
Cococonut and Banana Burfi.
House cocktail and coffe

hope to see you Friday..
