  I made this for a vegetarian dinner party as a palate cleanser before a rather rich wild mushroom risotto. It worked a treat. The soup itself went down a storm. The ice-cube... you either love it or hate it! But even those who disliked it kept on bringing it back into conversation! The tricky part is getting your soup hot enough whilst being able to pour it into a glass. Ideas anyone?? Oh and I served it in small whisky tumblers about a third/half full. Recommended.

  Really great - blew everyone away. I'd love to see more inventive recipes like this rather than the interminable variations on fish pie etc.

  These are really fun! I made them for my sister's birthday meal as she's quite adventrous with food. I didn't bother straining the beetroot mixture and it didn't seem to make a difference. The cold yogert icecubes melting in the hot 'shot' is really different. I think it tastes quite nice, but the red onion and sugar makes it quite sweet so definately only a shot full per person is enough!

  I've made this on a number of occasions with beets from the garden and it always turns out a treat. Served in espresso cups it makes the ideal pre-starter for the approaching autumn
