Raspberries, Fig-Leaf Cheese and Ice

My early days as a slightly obsessive antique toy collector taught me to be very resourceful in the procurement of ingredients. If an ingredient of culinary value exists in your neighbourhood, why not take advantage of it? Down the many deserted alleyways in Ripponlea, where Attica is located, live fig trees, whose leaves casually hang over the back fence of our neighbour’s property … just waiting to be picked by a curious magpie (aka me).
