Foot and Fire

AS FOURTH POST FOR THE #foodflixflex which my friends and I will be doing this September to celebrate food and cinema, I present you my My Pear and Apple Pie in the City of Angels. If others have a theme song in their lives, I have a theme movie in my life and it is called City of Angels. I wanted it to be A walk in the Clouds but I just have to give the spot to COA given the storyline. COA has all the factors of being a classic movie given the actors, the script, the storyline, the directing. It is a love story and a celebration of our mortality. Who would not feel loved when an angel gave up his mortality for a human? Okay, there is nothing about pie in that movie but it definitely captured me with something about pear, a favorite fruit of mine. It goes: Seth: What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway. Maggie: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like? Seth: I don't know what a pear taste...

Gerlie's Apple Pie The Crust Recipe: 3 cups sifted flour 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup avocado oil 1/3 cup milk In a bowl, place the sifted flour and add salt. Create a well and add the avocado oil and milk. Mix by laddling in a circular motion until it forms a soft dough.  Divide into two. Work on the first dough in a silicon board by flattening and place plastic on top then flatten with a rolling pin as thinly as you can go. Remove plastic, lift the silicon dough board and place on top of your baking dish. Slowly detach dough from the board. Arrange the dough in the dish and place some dough on broken parts to avoid leaks. Add the apple filling mixture and repeat the flattening of the dough for the top cover. Seal edges by pinching the upper and lower edges of the dough. Bake for 15 minutes at 210 C, and another 45 at 190 C.  Apple Filling Recipe: 1T cinnamon Pinches of ginger powder 1 cup brown sugar 3 Tbsp flour 5 small apples, cubed or sli...

Seafood platter When hunger and sweet tooth cry out, Lacson street in Bacolod City can answer the call. Pepe's sumptuous lunch can be punctuated by the sweet delights of Calea located just a little farther across the street. Pepe's is located on the second floor of Sorrento building. This rugged building is undergoing renovations at the moment but this did not stop hungry souls from dishing out their favorites from fish to meat. Meanwhile, the coffee and sweets craving are answered by Calea, the house of the popular triple chocolate mousse. And so, here are my shots of the blessings we partook as part of our Christmas friendship gathering. *** Ceasar's salad *** lemonade *** Grilled fish in mango-coconut salsa *** Beef salpicao *** The burger *** Triple chocolate mousse, the Calea's best. *** Good old apple pie. *** Triple sweet delights! *** Blueberry topped fruit cheesecake ***

With three to four bites, it is all core already. Cherry apple is another nature's offering when one is bored of the usual-sized apples...                              @@@                            @@@ When everyone prefers big and huge, here comes the cherry apple to delight our eyes and renew our interest in apple. Sharp sourness can be passed up because anyway, there are three bites available only... My cherry apple mandala....

A thoughtful friend brought us a Snakefruit during her trip to Bali, Indonesia... I lavished and slowly chewed on the fruit after peeling off its snake-like peeling... I loved the taste. It has the nice sweet sour taste of a pineapple and the crunch of apple as texture and it looks like a giant clove of garlic when peeled and dissected. Is it a fruit or nut? When i had the chance, i googled and found out that it is from a palm tree like fig and dates... It is a popular and common fruit all over Indonesia and it can be made into wine... I think I will have more of this when I get to visit Bali too. *photos used above came from my google search...

Inspired by patterns, i served these cucumber, apple and oranges in circles.. Love the color and it lured everyone to pick up. Oh, i sprinkled some Italian herbs seasoning on top...

By GERLIE M. UY Yacon is like pear like apple like singkamas like sugarcane....in short, i liked it. More facts on Yacon The  Yacón  is a  perennial plant  traditionally grown in the Northern and Central  Andes  from Ecuador to Argentina for its crisp, sweet-tasting tuberous roots. The texture and flavour are very similar to  jicama  mainly differing in that yacon has some slightly sweet resinous and floral (similar to  violet ) undertones to its flavor. This flavoring is probably due to a sweet substance called  inulin , as replicates the sweet taste found in the roots of  elecampane , which also contains this substance. Another name for the yacón is  Peruvian ground apple . The tuber is composed mostly of water and  fructo-oligosaccharides . Commonly called " jicama " in Ecuador, yacón is sometimes confused with this unrelated plant. Yacón is actually a close relative of the sunflower  and  Jerusalem artichoke...
