Ok, this is definitely the season in which I spend the least time in the kitchen, but entertain the most. To keep things this way, but also feed my guests in the manner that they have grown accustomed to during the other months I use some no bake dessert recipes. This equates to delicious foods, and beautiful presentations as always, but more time spent in my presence enjoying them, instead of them in the garden, and me in the kitchen.

I recently prepared a couple of my favourite recipes of this kind, and thought I should share the ideas with you, and plant the seed in your minds that you too can escape the kitchen. If this sounds like something you would like to try then look up no bake recipes for the following Black and White Ice Cream Tart, Cherries Jubilee Cheesecake, and a definite crowd pleaser the Chocolate Ricotta Checkerboard Icebox Cake.
