Chocolate haute couture
Friday, December 7th, 2007Is it couverture couture? Check out these sweet designs from SMH. I don’t understand how they don’t melt – the models must have to stand in the fridge before putting them on! But will they be eaten at the end??

Dragonfruit
Sunday, March 18th, 2007
Ever tried one of these? I’ve tried it before on various exotic fruit platters (including the fruit salad at David Jones FoodHall), but never actually cut one up, as it looked too complicated. Well at 67c each at Harris Farm I was willing to give it a go – and it was a cinch! Just cut it in half and scoop out the flesh like an avocado. It’s a very clean, refreshing taste. Not soft, but firm – doesn’t crunch. Sweet tasting, and also comes in white with black seeds.
