… the Flavour of the Month for July 2007 … Lori Longbotham’s Luscious Berry Desserts!
Applause! Clap … clap … clap!
First of all, let me wish all of my American friends a very happy Fourth of July!
After a lovely long weekend wherein we Canadians celebrated our country’s 140th birthday on July 1st, it’s high time to get to the business of July. This promises to be another busy month as there’s so much fresh food everywhere!
I have so many ideas and recipes I want to try I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day or days in the month for that matter!
You can be sure that many of these creations will be originating from Luscious Berry Desserts. When I bought the cookbook last year, I knew immediately that I would be featuring it as a Flavour of the Month as soon as berry season was once again upon us in Ontario.
For those of you that don’t know, Lori Longbotham is a chef and a writer with a number of excellent cookbooks to her credit. While I don’t own all of them, Luscious Lemon Desserts, Lemon Zest and Luscious Chocolate Desserts all grace The Overburdened Bookshelf. I love everything about Lori’s books from the creative recipes to the beautiful photography.
Luscious Berry Desserts is no exception.
So please join me this month as we glory in berries galore!
And to whet your apetites … how about a little Blueberry Lime Cake?!
Ciao!
[Note: will post the recipe in a few days!]

Advanced Bread and Pastry by Michael Suas.

I have been given the incredible opportunity to review this masterpiece of a book. I’m in awe. June will be good.

News Flash: There really aren’t enough days or hours for me to try all the goodies I want to.
Blueberries and lime! I always do lemon. Now I must try lime. I love the mini-bundt pans. Beautiful little cakes.
07/5/07 at 4:37 am
Blueberries and lime….lovely! We’re just starting to see blueberries at the farmers’ market now.
07/5/07 at 5:10 am
Can’t wait to live vicariously through your berry recipes…not much berries here except for strawberries…
Those little cakes are adorable!
07/5/07 at 5:36 am
They are just beautiful. Love the combination of berries and lime.
07/5/07 at 7:01 am
Oh! The texture of the little bundt cakes look sublime! You have to come up with the recipe soon! I have this load of cherries waiting to be used and I can’t bear to disappoint the lovely red babies. =)
07/5/07 at 7:32 am
I really have got to get myself some mini bundt pans!!!
07/5/07 at 7:34 am
Yummy! I just recently bought this cookbook but haven’t had a chance to try anything yet. Glad to hear it’s a good one.
07/5/07 at 7:55 am

07/5/07 at 7:55 am
Berries and lime, what a great combo! I can’t wait for the recipe. And your little cakes are so cute!!
07/5/07 at 8:03 am
How delightful! Love the seasonal fruit. As always, your photos make me 1. want to bake something tasty, 2. want to improve my own shots. Thanks for posting such great recipes and beautiful photos.
I just posted on a berry pie I made using a crust from Elise of Simply Recipes. Please let me know what you think: http://alteredplates.blogspot.com. Thanks!
07/5/07 at 9:08 am
yay for berries! and blueberries do go so well with citrus, but lime?! i dunno Ivonne… sounds tricky…
07/5/07 at 10:50 am
I’ve had massive British blackberries with my oatibix every morning this week. I’m usually not a bit fruit fan but cereal on it’s own is soooooooo BLAND.
PS have a gander at this: http://tinyurl.com/yumzqh
07/5/07 at 2:09 pm
Oh my gosh…Blueberry Lime Cake?! Could that sound or look any more heavenly? Its a beautiful cake, and I bet tastes every bit as luscious as it looks. I can’t wait to see all of your berry themed creations, Ivonne. Your photography is so enticing…your blog is a real delight.
07/5/07 at 4:58 pm
Oh my gosh, I just about wanted to climb into that last picture. Blueberry and lime=bliss.
07/5/07 at 7:49 pm

07/5/07 at 9:12 pm
Guess where I am checking from…?… Somebody else’s Cucina! These little cakes look sinful. I love her lemon book so I can only imagine this one. Superb pictures!
07/5/07 at 11:15 pm
Ahhhhh, Creampuff they are beautiful. I’m eating berries everyday at the moment before the season ends. Can’t wait to know more.

Words don’t describe the fact that I want this now!
07/6/07 at 9:39 am
Lime is HUGE here, Ivonne - who can say no to these beauties??
07/6/07 at 2:11 pm
i absolutely love your new look. very nice. very cream puffs
i have recently taken the plunge as well, and it feels good! happy baking and looking forward to more delicious recipes.
07/7/07 at 7:25 am
As you can tell from my blog name, I have a love for the little blue gals, and lime is so perfectly paired with them, I may have to make this this week since the weather here is fairly lame for a beginning of July (Paris).
07/8/07 at 5:43 am
Awesome!

07/8/07 at 1:25 pm
Ivonne,
Your baking and pictures look wonderful as always! You do such a fabulous job, and you are truly an inspiration. Although I’m gluten-free, I still follow your blog all the time. I also figure that, sooner or later, you’ll have your own cookbook on the market since you do such a wonderful job. Happy baking!
07/9/07 at 5:56 am
Ciao Ivonne,
I’m writing from Italy. I’e just discovered your blog and I’d like to tell you it’s great!
CONGRATULAZIONI sei davvero una gran cuoca!!
tornerò spesso a trovarti
07/9/07 at 1:17 pm
Those cakes are just too cute! I bought a pack of mini bundt pans but it was only a pack of 3.
07/9/07 at 1:45 pm
That looks absolutely fabulous! If only I had a cake stand with this on my counter at the moment…
07/14/07 at 4:40 pm
Blueberry & Lime…oh how delicious this sounds. If only my favourite cream puff in all the world would post the recipe I’d have the chance to taste how delicious it actually is!
07/15/07 at 8:09 am
