The Taste of Summer { Strawberry Soup }

Cold strawberry soup with mascarpone cream topping is beyond delicious, so refreshing and light! This is one of my favourite desserts at the moment. 

This is how to make 3 portions:

• 400 g of fresh strawberries
•  2 tablespoons lemon juice
•  4 table spoons of sugar
• 100 g of mascarpone cheese
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Take about 10 strawberries and dice them into small cubes. Arrange them into serving glasses. Take the rest of strawberries and put 2 table spoons of sugar, 2 table spoons of lemon juice. Blend everything together with a blender. Pour the strawberry 'soup' into the serving glasses on the top of the diced strawberries. 

For mascarpone cream take 100 g of mascapone cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a splash of milk. Mix everything together to make a cream. Put the cream mix into a piping bag and pipe it on the top of the 'soup'.

Decorate with a half cut strawberry and dive in. This is how the summer tastes!

Good Life { Cote D'Azur - France } Part II

I loved our evenings spent at the medieval hilltop village St Paul De Vence. The village is full of artistic charm and calmness in the evenings. We enjoyed our dinners and sunsets... It felt amazing and exciting to realise that once upon a time, Chagall and Picasso enjoyed the same views to the sea.

One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to Villa Ephrussi De Rothschild and its nine themed gardens which are out of this world. I was bowled over by the sweeping views of the Riviera from the villa... have a look at them and tell me what do you think?

Good Life { Cote D'Azur - France } Part I

Clear azure sea water, floating yachts, bright parasols, white stone narrow streets and pastel roses. This is how I would describe the French Riviera. A sun-soaked playground for many travellers. No wonder that my body and soul got seduced by the regions glorious beauty. I kept falling in love with every breathtaking vista and every evening dinner :)
 
I must say our trip was perfectly timed because busy Monte Carlo Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival were over :) We took our time to enjoy it. The Riviera is all about living a good life after all...

This is the first part of the photos from Haute de Cagnes, Monaco and Cannes beach.
