Gourmet Safari Singles (Individual Recipes)

“Spreading the love, one recipe at a time.”

Yes, I know the Gourmet Safari Albums (Complete Menus) are impressive and bold in taste, flavour and effort required (if I don’t say so myself).  No time, no worries – as we all know, practicality has everything to do with all things creative including culinary…and oh relationary in the bedrooms of the nation! If you want to create a more simplified ‘Gourmet L-O-V-E’ meal, (for instance), feel free to chose from any of the ‘A la carte Singles’ (Recipes), create your own menu and bring lady luck to dine at your dinner table.  Trust me…same magic applies AND the menu is your own creation!

Definitely not the healthiest of ingredients, however, good comfort food for the soul. If you want control of your ice cream craving, here’s the answer! Kulfi, an Indian ice cream, is absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious!! It has a slightly chewy texture and a sweet, creamy taste. Sorry it’s not Vegan nor low on the calorie scale…BUT it is however, homemade!

Optimism Pink Strawberries ‘n Cream Granola Smoothie.By Jackie DeKnockThis is one of the most delicious, feel-good frozen fruit smoothie combinations EVER! It’s a delicious, rich, thick smoothie that will leave you wanting more with plenty of carbs and protein. Just like breakfast in a glass!!
Optimism Mugwort Tea Tonic Muggles Brew.By Jackie DeKnockStraight out of Hogwarts…meet Mugwort! You may already know this herb thanks to JK Rowling’s incorporation of botany into Harry Potter! Moving past the cauldron and its mystical past, introducing a weed with potential - mugwort! This brew has a subtle spicy flavour, is very mild and soothing. It’s said that mugwort can increase energy, reduce anxiety, clear bad/negative air, provide protection from nasty people (muggles) and even bring you dreams of the future! It’s even believed that Roman soldiers even put mugwort in their sandals to prevent tired feet (long before Birkenstocks), also commonly thought to protect from evil spirits. Don’t like tea? No problem, you can slip your mugwort into your pillow for a ‘dream pillow’ for prophetic dreams. It’s a ‘visionary’ herb that can induce lucid dreaming and open your 3rd eye (believe it or not) or you can even smoke it (not that we encourage smoking)!
