FRUIT RECIPES

Yeah, I know, fruit is 'good' for you! But, to me, that's secondary to the fact that there are some amazing things you can do with fruit to create dishes fit for a king!

Many fruits that, in a botanical sense, are true fruits are actually treated as vegetables in cooking and food preparation, because they are not particularly sweet. These culinary vegetables include squash, pumpkin, cucumber, tomatoes, peas, beans, corn, eggplant, and sweet pepper. Also, some foods, like avocado, which we place either in vegetables or fruits or nuts are actually large berries! In addition, some spices, such as allspice and chillies, are fruits, botanically speaking. In the culinary sense, a fruit is usually any sweet-tasting plant product, especially those associated with seed(s), a vegetable is any savoury or less sweet plant product, and a nut is any hard, oily, and shelled plant product.
