Blackberry and Lemon Curd Fool

In the Mood for Entertaining

"I’m a bit of a lemon curd fan and love to use it when I can as a short cut ingredient for desserts. In this rather indulgent fool, it adds a delicious sweet lemon flavour (funnily enough), which works really well with the slight tartness of the blackberries." Jo Pratt

Author Profile: Morena Leite and the Alchemy of Affection in Brazilian Cuisine

Morena Leite, the author of Brazil Rhythms and Recipes, is one of Brazil’s most well-known chefs but she more than just a chef. She is an artist of flavors, a passionate educator and a tireless social entrepreneur. Her work goes far beyond the kitchen — she connects people, transforms communities and plants seeds of food consciousness wherever she goes. Interviewing her I saw a sparkle in her eyes, a guiding faith behind her actions, and a clear life purpose. Morena is a unique individual — not just for her achievements or her singular name, but because she inspires generations through food made with love, technique, and intuition.
