Recipe by:
Elaine Russell
A cross between a breakfast sorbet and thick drink, this refreshing, virtually fat-free start to the day takes just seconds to whiz up. The secret to preparing it quickly is to keep a selection of chopped fruit in the freezer, then you can simply dip in to select a combination that suits your mood.

Green Tea Pineapple Blast
Recipe by:
Tasha Lee
Great tasting and healthy. This drink is adapted from one I had in a cafe around the NSW/QLD border. I suggest using mango sorbet - it really does make a difference. With fresh fruit and green tea, this juice is a great antioxidant boost any time of year but is especially refreshing in summer.
Marshmallow and Pineapple Cream
A very easy dessert that doesn't take a lot of effort to prepare but tastes really good. If you are short of time, don't worry about soaking the marshmallows, but it tastes better if you do.
Pina Colada with Fresh Pineapple
A bit retro..but this is my version of a Pina Colada made with fresh pineapple, lime juice and less coconut milk than the classic version. So its a lighter, fruitier and less sweet cocktail.
Ginger Beer and Pineapple Punch
This is from my friend, Jane's family. It's an excellent non-alcoholic summer punch-perfect for Christmas. Have all the ingredients cold beforehand. To make the tea ice-cubes just make some strong black tea, let it cool then pour into an ice cube tray.

Cherry Fruitcake
Recipe by:

This is a very easy fruitcake but it needs to be prepared a day ahead. You can use mixed candied fruit instead of the cherries and pineapple.
