Spring is now well underway and summer is round the corner, so tomorrow's issue of E&D purposely reflects these two seasons.

Concita Demicoli's ice-cream recipes are particularly inspiring and readers are invited to enjoy and dig in. In summer, our appetites tend to be on the lighter side and with this in mind, E&D presents a special feature on sushi which is nowadays becoming incredibly popular here in Malta.

On the travel front, this month's issue takes readers to Florence, which perhaps is not as calorie-friendly as sushi but whose cuisine is worth every single calorie. Fairy godmother of Maltese cuisine, Gloria Mizzi, as usual, solves some kitchen problems most efficiently with a selection of hassle-free recipes, while Vanessa MacDonald goes behind the scenes and takes a close look at Café Jubilee's latest venture. There's also an interview with the President's chef, Jesmond Vassallo, whose long and fascinating career at the Palace spans 18 years of cooking for various dignitaries, including the Queen. The much-followed personality interview is this month dedicated to two hard-working career couples.

There are also countless other scrumptious recipes, interviews and anecdotes for readers to enjoy, so make sure you get your free copy of E&D, out with The Times tomorrow.
