need a lo-cal dessert idea

[m brown]

When i poach pears in white wines, i add saffron, vanilla and sugar.
the saffron adds a lovely flavor and long lasting beautiful colour!

Chocolate Sorbet is a light and lovely thing.

How about Angelfood cake with saffron poached pear and chocolate sorbet?

enjoy......

I took "In the Sweet Kitchen's" compote and adapted...Agen prunes, dried apricots in a vanilla bean, Earl of Grey Tea sugar syrup ....love the addition of the tea....really nice....sooooo
Vanilla angel food cake or I'd love to see a gingerbread spicy angelfood cake with the compote.

Maybe a chai flavored hot risotto with candied orange zest and currants.

Hmmm... this is going to sound soooo out of character but this weekend I made Kretshners(?) fat-free blueberry muffins and mixed the lemon-blueberry with reg blueberry adulterated it with eggs, dried cranberries and pecans.....there was a cooking class director and a food editor that didn't realize they were box. (yeah yeah I bought them for my sweetie, had not taken them to his place and needed breakfast for the market and WAS NOT doing scratch).....

In the summer time we make a gelitan that uses a crisp white wine or a white zin in place of the water. Filled with fresh berries and served with fruit sauces. We use a long half round mold and cut triangles.

The women just love this!
