Alain Senderen's Salade De Fruit Exotique (Hh Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
2 tbsp plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split
3 coriander seeds
1 whole clove
1/4 tsp five-spice powder
1 zest of 1 lime
1 zest of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1 sprig of fresh mint (opt)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 pineapple
1 mango
2 large kiwis
2 passion fruits
Recipe Preparation
And ideal fruit salad or dessert for Winter, because the tropical
fruits are available year-round and ripen naturally. The riper and
more fragrant the fruit, the better the salad.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups water with the sugar, vanilla
bean, coriander seeds, clove, five-spice powder, lime and lemon
zests, ginger, and mint, if using. Simmer over moderate heat for 10
minutes. Set aside to cook. Then stir in the lime juice. (The syrup
can be made up and refrigerated for up to a week before serving the
salad.)
Slice off the top and the rind from the pineapple; quarter it
lengthwise. Reserve 3 of the quarters for another use. Slice 1 of the
quarters crosswise 1/8-inch thick. Using a sharp paring knife, peel
the mango and slice lengthwise, parallel to the pit on both sides,
into disks 1/8-inch thick. Slice each mango disk in half lengthwise.
Peel the kiwis and halve lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into
thin wedges.
Divide the fruit evenly and arrange in each of 4 shallow soup bowls,
overlapping the slices to form a decorative pattern. Strain the
reserved syrup and divide equally among the 4 servings. Cover with
plastic wrap and refirgerate for at least 1 or up to 4 hours. Just
before serving, halve the passion fruits crosswise. Using a teaspoon,
scoop the pulk out of each half onto the fruit in each bowl.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tipsIn deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use soy flour or bake mix. When you have to use flour for baking, substitute it with soy flour or a baking mix like Atkins bake mix. In most situtations, you may convert your most popular recipes that use normal wheat flour to use these lowcarb alternatives.
* Understand the food labels Watch out for the food label that proclaims 'low carb' - check the actual nutritional information on the reverse of the tin or packet. Some are only a little less and in some instances still more than a competitors usual brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
