Food & Drink: Recipe - Fooling with fruit
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TO END our series on cooking with summer fruits, Pat Millward, proprietor of Millward's vegetarian restaurant in Bristol, submits her favourite dessert: raspberry and rose fool. She found it in Jane Grigson's Fruit Book, who in turn took the idea from Hannah Wolley's Accomplisht Lady's Delight, written in 1675. Ms Millward will receive a bottle of Chateau Coutet 1983 Barsac, from Reid Wines near Bristol. She uses Langdale's Essence of Rosewater. I used mild rosewater, as sold in Iranian shops, and it was delicious.
