Berry Terrine

Frozen Yogurt and Berry Terrine is a perfect dessert for those hot summer days. It can be made one week ahead of time before serving. Keep the leftovers in a plastic bag and freeze.

What you will need:

•  Fresh strawberries, sliced thinly into rounds
•  Strawberry frozen yogurt, softened
•  Fresh blueberries
•  Shelled raw pistachios
•  Vanilla (or other flavour) frozen yogurt, softened
•  Fresh mint leaves or parsley (optional)

Stanley Kubrick @ Tiff

Stanley Kubrick

Go check out the Stanley Kubrick exhibition at tiff. You will get to see a lot of his archived drawings and scripts, rare photographs, letters and uncompleted projects.
