Tropical Fruit Cups
One, two or three!
What do you do when you have leftover ingredients from the Joust? And a fridge full of unused fruit? You make fruit salad! Or as "modern" publications call them....Fruit Cups. Seriously though, its a good way to increase your fruit intake. Chop up a whole batch of fruit, squeeze some lime, add some passionfruit pulp add a good amount of thick Greek yogurt and top with freshly toasted coconut. The final touch is to grate some fresh lime zest. Aaaahhh...I'm dreaming of tropical temperatures again!
More Fruit Cups
I basically used what I had around. I chopped up some bananas and pears and squeezed some lime juice over them so they wouldn't go brown. Add some oranges, kiwi fruit and mango and voila! The real treat was the lime zest. It provided the right amount of "zing" and "zestiness". Mmmmm...and lets not forget the toasted coconut. Another added treat. I wish I could breakfast like this every day.
Add some lime zest...for that "extra" touch
Biteclub Does Breakfast
Freshly Toasted Muesli
Its been a while between a few posts and I thought I would do some "catch up" entries. I recently had the pleasure of attending a Biteclub held in the morning. Breakfast/brunch was on the agenda and our good hosts Tony and Michael had gone to the trouble of putting on an amazing feast. Better than any hotel buffet I've ever seen!!! And trust me, I've sat a few hotel breakfast buffets in my time!
With the sun shining in Sydney, summer has come a little early for us here. It was a perfect environment to indulge in a beautiful breakfast. Fruit salads, fresh bakery items, scrambled eggs, sausages...the list goes on. I think there is something quite indulgent about a cooked breakfast. Whilst many 9 to 5'ers grab a bowl of Corn Flakes and a cup of coffee during the week , its nice to spoil ourselves on the weekend with a luxurious cooked breakfast and the weekend papers. Anyway, join me on a photo journey that will have you drooling at the mouth. Michael and Tony had outdone themselves truly.
Double Espresso with a dash of milk...the perfect starter to breakfast
Fresh fruit salad...look at those summer colours
I love starting off with a good cup of strong coffee. The perfect heartstarter! The fruit salad was so inviting and healthy of course!
Fresh and flaky croissants
As if these items weren't enough, we got ready for part 2.
Barbecued Italian sausages
Scrambled eggs...for 10
Lightly fried mushrooms in butter
Sauteed spinach
Layers of hash browns
Are you hungry yet? Are you inspired enough to get into the kitchen and make a sexy breakfast? You should be.
Again, I have to emphasise what an effort it is to put on a feast for 10 people. Michael and Tony excelled themselves and the food was delish.
I think I'm starting to like Biteclub at Breakfast...
