Hi Nicky,

I had no idea there was such a difference between cultivated and wild! I was wondering why the insides of my berries were clear! The next time I try this, I will make sure to use fresh wild berries :)

Hi Ellie, Hm, good question! Maybe it was the kind of blueberries you used? Like I wrote here, not all types of blueberries behave the same. If you used cultivated ones, the "flesh" is likely to not have the same vibrant color. But that's really the only reason I can think of now. Perhaps have an eye on the cream as well, make sure it's not too hot anymore, when combining it with the berries/buttermilk - but that's just a precaution.

Hi Nicki,

I had some blueberries that needed using, so I decided to try this recipe (though halved, as this is too much pannacotta for just 2 people). I followed everything step by step and have just put it in the fridge, but instead of being the same wonderfully vibrant colour as yours, mine is this awful blue-grey colour :( Any ideas what might be the cause? (It still tastes wonderful as I licked my prep plates clean, but just isn't as asthetically pleasing!)

This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I've never tried Panna Cotta before, but as I like jellied buttermilk and yogurt cakes and desserts, this should be a real treat! I've saved the recipe in my folder and will be trying it v. soon..
Beautiful blog with gorgeous photography!!!
(and I'll be checking those plates out in IKEA next time:)

Hi Riana, Lyn,
Thanks! ;)

Hey Alan,
'Glad the blog helped to brighten the day a bit and thank you for the kind words :) The plate is in fact from IKEA, it is a dark blue, square plate with a very shiny finish (hence the mirror effect). They have these plates in some nice colors... ;)

Hi Nicky! This is my first time visiting your blog, and I have to admit I'm so in love with it! Your photos are all so stunning and the fact that you include recipes alongside many of your creations puts your blog among the unique few that aren't just about the pictures. May I add your blog to my food blog links?

Might I also ask what kind of plate that is in the first photo posted in this entry? It seems to have a slightly mirrored surface. I like the reflection of the panna cotta in the plate - it easily adds another visual dimension to your plating.

Thanks for making my day! =)
