Banana Honey Blueberry Smoothie With Added Fibre

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:32:34 -0500

This smoothie is full of goodness....no; greatness! It has the super high anti-oxidant value of blueberries, the sweetness of honey, added fibre of Benefibe and the classic flavour of bananas. Great for a morning snack, or anytime when you need that little something to keep you going between meals. I came up with this particular combination of ingredients while looking through the fruit bowl and the fridge for a snack, threw it together and it turned out beautifully! I'm sure it's been thought of before...this is my own recipe thought up at the spur of the moment in my kitchen. -- posted by bananapan_cake

Orange flower water is used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking; if you can't find it, you might try Recipe #110957 #110957. She suggests the following variations (which would no longer qualify as "all-banana" ) : 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (an "Elvis"! evoking Elvis Presley's love of bananas with peanut butter); 2 tablespoons or more of chocolate syrup; both peanut butter and chocolate syrup; or 1/2 cup coconut milk plus a squeeze of lime juice.

Pavlova With Whipped Cream and Fresh Fruit

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 01:33:56 -0500

Pavlova is a traditional to Australians and New Zealanders that was apparently created in honour of the ballerina Anna Pavlova, when she toured in those parts. It is basically a delicate mountain of whipped meringue. After being baked under low heat, the outside shell gets crunchy, the top gets browned, but the inside stays chewy and soft - like creamy fresh marshmallow. It then gets piled high with softly whipped cream and fresh fruit. The result is dreamy, with the consistency of a cream-smothered cloud. -- posted by Chef #1008075

Banana Coconut Ice Cream (No Eggs)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:58:21 -0400

We received an ice cream maker attachment for our KitchenAid mixer last Christmas. We also had a spare can of coconut milk left over from a curry recipe. After a few ice cream batches, I began wondering how to use the coconut milk in an ice cream recipe. This is the result. My favorite thing about homemade ice cream is the delicious taste from only a handful of ingredients, so this one is a simple, Philadelphia-style ice cream (no eggs). It has a rich coconut flavor that isn't over-powering. The banana and (optional) rum complement the tropical theme. -- posted by calamari

Use It or Lose It Smoothie

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:16:23 -0400

I bought a ton of fresh fruit at the start of the week and it is now Saturday and there is the odd bit of fruit still left in the fridge that must not have much time left in it. I hate throwing food away but know I won't get to eating it all one bit at a time before it goes off. So, I threw it all in the smoothie maker and decided to see what would happen. I ended up really enjoying the results. I used Greek yoghurt because it is what I had and my lactose intolerance doesn't flair up if I use it. I am sure you could use any fat free yoghurt though. This made two big smoothies for me but could easily be four smaller ones. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand.

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:05 -0400

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;) -- posted by Manami

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Jewel Studded Holiday Fudge With Ginger and Cranberries

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:42:20 -0500

A delectable holiday fudge, which is the ultimate treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. This buttery, crumbly fudge is enhanced and made more festive by studding it with rich, jewel-like fruit. If you do not have stem ginger handy, you can use crystallised ginger or glace ginger instead. Making fudge the proper way involves using a sugar, jam or candy thermometer - or you can use the "soft ball" method if you do not have a suitable thermometer. Drop a small spoonful of the fudge into cold water, if it forms a malleable soft ball, the setting temperature has been reached. If you plan to make this fudge for gifts or to sell, pack the squares into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients.

Fru... Fru... Fruit Salad!

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:06:23 -0500

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember. I love this salad because i never liked eating fruits when I was little. This is a salad that even a fruit hater like me would learn to love fruits. ENJOY! (: [ BASICALLY... This recipe you could use any fruits but the ingredients I put down is what i usually put in my salad. Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

These curried coconut shrimp balls were absolutely awesome!

There is a 1 hour chill time. The disposable bamboo spoons, make cleanup a snap,; pack of 25 for $9.49 at: webrestaurantstore.com. -- posted by Manami

After the Party is Over! Refreshing Detox Fresh Fruit Salad

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:50:57 -0500

A wonderful brunch recipe for the morning after or when you need an early boost for a busy day ahead; although this is super healthy and refreshing, I have also served this as the dessert dish for a buffet, BUT with champagne as the liquid instead of orange juice! (Just another idea for dressing this fresh fruit salad up with frills!) This is not only healthy, but it is SO festive and colourful - my photo shows the one I made this Boxing Day (26th December), I usually add kiwi fruit too, but we had run out of them.......oooops! My quantities listed here make enough for 6 to 8 people, but this can be increased as well as reduced to suit personal requirements. I normally serve this with crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt, but its also wonderful when served naked, the salad that is, not me! The fruits I have suggested are rich in vitamins and antioxidants for a quick mental boost, as well as a rapid detox to aid recovery after a heavy night or after indulging in rich food, but please do adapt this to your own seasonal and local produce if you wish. -- posted by French Tart

This cake is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas. It will become more moist and flavorful the longer it chills. It makes use of a yummy whipped cream based frosting! -- posted by breezermom

Mango Cake With Lemon Icing

What makes this cake so tastey is using pureed fresh mango. I don't advise using frozen or canned mango. This cake is incredibly moist! -- posted by breezermom
