Rainbow foam is a dramatic and fun way to serve jelly (jell-o) as a dessert on special occasions.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, Christmas or relaxing on a balcony watching the mardi-gras parade go by, it’s a really fun dessert treat.

Ingredients

5 or more 3oz/85gm packets of flavoured gelatine (jell-o) in different colours and flavours

Method

Mix each of your jellies/jellos but use 1/4 cup less than the instructions call for.

Put them in the fridge until they are half set. You can mix all the jellies at once but leave the ones you don’t need straight away out of the fridge so they don’t completely set until you need them).

Take the first colour and whisk until frothy. Pour into a mould or glass and set completely in the fridge.

Add the other colours, one at a time in the same way.

A classic recipe for a highly flavoured cheese on toast dish, Welsh Rarebit. Also known as Welsh Rabbit. This dish is thought to have originated in the 1700’s.

Ingredients

60gm/2oz of cheddar cheese per person

2 slices of toast per person

salt and pepper

mustard powder

Worcestershire sauce

beer – the more flavour in the beer, the better. If you don’t want to use beer you can use milk, an oil-based salad dressing or all three!

Method

Put your cheese into the top of a double boiler over a gentle heat.

Add the mustard, salt and pepper.

Add some Worcestershire sauce.

Once it starts to melt add just enough beer to make it into a thick paste.

Add more beer if necessary once it has fully melted.

Spread the cheese on your toast and brown under the grill (or broiler if you’re in the US)
