Fruit Salad Masterpiece

-

As I have mentioned time and time again. Creativity, Color and Presentation (let's call it the CCP's of cooking) are 3 major things to remember when cooking or serving anything. Pay attention to detail.

For instance look at this fruit salad. This person took the time to cut each fruit into unique pieces. Got a butterfly shaped tray and lined it with different colored, uniquely cut fruit pieces. It looks almost too good to eat.

They could have just done the entire thing with grapes for instance and it would have looked nice as well. Imagine all purple. But they took it a step further. Mixed and matched a bit. Tried different shapes, sizes and color to create this fruit work of art.

It even inspired me enough to share with you all.

So next time you do a fruit salad don't just take the entire fruit to eat, cut it into microscopic pieces or chop it into huge unedible chunks. Instead serve it in style. Be creative. Every act of creativity works in the kitchen no matter how bad it may turn out.

At least you tried.
God Bless

    And it looks like the person spent ages doing it, which would make it even more special!

    Hi leanne, thats just the thing. It looks as if it takes ages to do because it is so detailed and beautiful but in reality it doesn't. It would take I would say maximum 20 - 30 minutes. All you do it cut your fruit and place it on a tray. Not that long at all. But creative yes : ) God Bless, please say hello to your sister and Mrs. Alynne for me.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk.
