My curiosity for food has been taking me on a great gastronomic adventure! Trying dishes from many different countries, experimenting with food items that I would have never even thought of if it wasn’t for my thirst to experience the vast array of foods and flavors all around the world…
 
Till this day, whenever I walk through the grocery aisles or wander around the produce stands and I see something I’ve never tried before, I will definitely grab and see what I can create with it. I am not a chef but if I could turn back the hands of time, I would definitely change my destiny by going to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute and become one…
 
When you haven’t grown up with certain food items, it’s obvious that some can be intimidating unless you are like me and want to give them a try. When it comes to produce, more and more are being imported (thanks to global trading), giving us all an opportunity to taste them. Passion Fruit is definitely one of those “unfamiliar” foods that we, North Americans, didn’t grow up with!
 
This exotic tropical fruit is used in many countries to flavor desserts & dishes, made into juice or eaten as is. When we take a look at a Passion Fruit, it’s small with dark skin and often wrinkly, which is an indication that the berry is nice and ripe. When we slice one in half, it’s quite surprising; white with small bright yellow seeds and a bit of juice- please don’t get fooled by it being “small” as this fruit has big flavor…
 
I enjoy using this berry for many recipes such as my Passion Fruit Ice Cream, Passion Fruit Dressing, White Sangria, and many more. If this little dark purple fruit puzzles you, you’ll be more confident to try and enjoy this fabulous berry after you watch the video!
Bon Appétit!
