Papaya Lime Sorbet

May 20, 2015 Jessica Tom

Papaya and lime. They're more than nice pairings... they complete each other. 

Papaya is a subtle, low-acid fruit. It's floral, but not as insistent as lychee. It's tropical, but not as overt as mango. And so lime strengthens its lines, like a few swipes of makeup that enhances the beauty that's already there. 

RECIPE: 

Freeze 1 1/2 cups of papaya and half a banana (or, if you're like me, just keep a bunch of frozen fruit in the freezer for sorbet and smoothies). Blend in a Vitamix with one glug of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of honey and the juice of 1 lime. If the mixture isn't blending, add more almond milk.

Coconut Pomelo Lime Panna Cotta

November 27, 2012 Jessica Tom

If you're inviting Grandma for dinner, you'd best mind your dessert. One year, Julian brought a Momofuku Milk Bar banana cake to Thanksgiving. It's a complex tower of textures, technique and bravado. But, man, is it sugary. Not being one for nicet...

Banana Lime Coco-Crostini

July 26, 2011 Jessica Tom

Sometimes you have to break the rules to stay within them. In a month, I'll be going to Bermuda and I've made a little vow myself to take it easy. It's not a diet, just a gentle pulling back. In New York, it's easy to fall into the habit of orderi...

Pineapple Vinho Verde Sorbet with Prickly Pear

July 22, 2011 Jessica Tom

The prickly pear is a challenging, rather enigmatic fruit, more seed than flesh. Imagine a pomegranate with the membranes dissolved, or a grenade loaded with juicy pellets. Like papaya, it tastes great with a squeeze of lime to zip its flavors. It...

Pineapple Lemon Balm Sorbet with Pistachio Shortbread

June 13, 2011 Jessica Tom

Growing up, I thought lemon balm was really called Lemon Bomb. It overtook our vegetable beds and was more obnoxious weed than treasured herb. This sorbet makes an obnoxious herb into a well-mannered member of society. The pineapple works double d...

Kiwi Cashew Breakfast Chaat

May 19, 2011 Jessica Tom

My friend Andrea first introduced me to chaat seven or so years ago, the night after the Harvard-Yale game. The day was exhausting from traveling, drinking, socializing and general shlepping. The chaat was a genie of a dish and gave me everything ...

Curry coconut, carrot & butternut squash dip

April 2, 2011 Jessica Tom

This is inspired by the Thai soup you never order because you'll think it's too rich. As a dip though, this is perfect. I roasted the carrots and butternut squash with a spicy curry, then pureed them with ginger and coconut milk. Thai basil bright...
