Fantastic Fruitastic
Have you ever come across any cookbook all about fruits? I am sure you have but I believe the books will give you the traditional tips on the best way to prepare fruits, garnish them, recipes on making salads, juices, smoothies, etc. How about recipes on how to cook fruit curry, baked fruit, puree, soup, pickles, jam, desert, sorbets, chutneys, etc? How does guava curry, jackfruit briyani, fruits kebabs sound to you?
Check out the book Fruitastic by Mohana Gill at MPH Bookstore, priced at RM120. It is an excellent guide to healthy eating and can act as an "encyclopedia" about fruits. I must say I am impressed with the extensive research done by Gill, especially the part describing origins of each fruit. I for one, didn’t know that jambu air is also known as Malay apple and ciku is known as sapodilla, etc. Hard cover, full of colors, big photos of fruits, large prints and the pictures of the recipe makes my saliva drools.. slurppp.. A fantastic book for those of you who are adventurous enough to use fruits for your exotic cooking.
