A classic pudding for our glorious British summer!! I’m writing this whilst listening to rain pelting down on the roof, and after having visited the local market where the stall traders are pouring gallons of water from their tarpaulin covers!! So why not celebrate by making the perfect pudding for summer.
This is the season for Alphonso mangoes, they are delicious deeply coloured, aromatic mangoes, so sweet and strong in flavour, they knock all other mangoes into cocked hat!

This is a lovely seasonal pudding. It is a take on an Italian panna cotta, really simple to make, quick and delicious.
This is a lovely light summers lunch, using the best if what is available now.
I chose to share this recipe with you as it was a favourite in my Thai cookery classes at the Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School. It was something that if you saw the recipe you might be put off as there is such a long list of ingredients, but hopefully you will be able to get hold of most of them.

This recipe was given to me by the wonderful Chrissoula from Vilea Village in Makrigialos, Crete. Anyone who has been to Vilea Village will never forget Chrissoula and her wonderful breakfasts and lunches that she serves. She is an amazing person, full of energy and love.
This is a very quick easy pate to make for a light lunch for 2-3 people.
