Recipes / Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian

We're looking at forecast that indicates 20 days (or more) of triple digit temperatures up here, and I know we're not alone. It's 117º F today in Corning, and I just finished an Ascolano Cucumber Mint Paleta (aka popsicle). See all three recipes inside.

Abundant fresh apricots have us on our toes looking for ways to enjoy them, so this week created an simple yet artful dessert layering almond-rich frangipane, succulent baked apricots, and a peach-scented Ascolano mascarpone cream.

It's too hot to cook, so how about a simple salad that features fruit, flowers, and the magical combination of Ascolano EVOO and Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar?

If you're in the mood to try something new, we put our Italian Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar to work this week as a topping for vanilla ice cream. This works well especially when paired with this raspberry coulis recipe.
