Since I was a little girl I've always loved raspberries, funny but I use to call them zazzy. Don't know why, I guess it was easier for me them to call it that way. Raspberries are one of my favorite berries and their peak season is from June to October, though I always find them all year round.
It isn't much appreciated with savory dishes than it is with desserts and drinks. Though lately I've seen and tasted many savory dishes with raspberries and I really enjoyed them alot.
In this weekly coffee publication I'm sharing 2 of my favorite raspberry salads ,one of my favorite desserts and 2 awesome drinks, one is a cocktail and the other a non alcoholic drink. Oh!! I sure don't want to leave out a delicious, healthy and refreshing smoothie: Lemon -Raspberry smoothie.
Have you ever had a cold raspberry soup? Well I have and I absolutely recommend it.
