Comments on: Sweetcorn chowder, Roquamole & Margarita Ice Cream http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/02/mexican-night-nigella-style/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I always find daylight the best time to take photos but a dinner party is a night thing. Yes I have an aversion to all frozen vegetables, except for peas. The blue cheese is fairly mild in it as there's a lot of avocado in it but it's so very good and the texture is lovely and it's perfect with corn chips! Definitely a grown up version of guacamole! ;) Hi Maria-Thankyou, it was quite a challenge taking nice photos while it was dark.

Mmm Mmm! The photo's, again are just gorgeous. I usually use canned or fresh corn too when needing it in a recipe. Sorry the frozen didn't work.. but thank you for giving us that tip! My most favourite dip/dressing to eat is blue cheese.. so the Roquamole sounds like something I'd LOVE .. and I'm sure my hubby would too. Wow.. I've never heard of doing that with guacomole before! Kind of like the grown-up version of guacomole! This food looks so inviting.. Mmm Mmm! The photo’s, again are just gorgeous. I usually use canned or fresh corn too when needing it in a recipe.

The sour cream and rose cakes can be made in standard cupcake pans but they won't be as high, more squat. But the taste will still be fabulous! ;) Thanks, what a lovely thing to say! :) Hi sally-welcome back and thankyou so much! :) Definitely give it a try, it’s very easy (if your food processor is working) and I’d love to know what you think of it.

I also saw this episode of Nigella Express and have been hankering to make this corn chowder ever since - it looked so easy! Thanks for the tip re the frozen corn, and good to know it tastes as good as it looks! Very jealous of you meeting Nigella - what a wonderful opportunity though! Also - with the sour cream and rosewater cakes, is there any reason why it can't be made in standard cupcake pans?? Thanks for bringing joy to the web each day in your blog, is always such a delight to read! I haven’t been able to look at your site for a few days and was delighted at your recent posts!

I don't think it is to such a degree here, I think Thai would probably be the adopted cuisine in Australia. Definitely try the chowder with good corn, it's really good and low fat which is always a bonus. Hi Sarah-It really was heavenly. I'm not a huge ice cream person but it was certainly compulsive eating for me :lol: It's particularly good as it doesn't require an ice cream churner and doesn't have eggs so it's good for vegetarians who don't eat eggs.
