Ann and I launched this tribute blog to Ruby Borrowdale, the home economist behind the Golden Circle Tropical Recipe Book seven years ago today with a recipe for Sweet and Pungent Lamb.
After cooking our way through the entire book we continued to find pineapple recipes from many different, mostly retro sources. It still provides challenges and amusement so I imagine the Pineapple Princesses may still be going strong with new additions to the approximately 700 recipes already collected in another seven years time, Anne.
The Singapore Sling was first created by a bartender at the
Raffles Hotel in Singapore
Here, Greg the bartender, mixes up his own delectable
version !
"Easy . . . equal parts . . . I used nip/shot glass.
One nip gin, one nip pineapple juice, a squeeze of lime and
the remainder tonic water . . . pour over ice in shaker.... shake . . . and
garnish with a wedge of lime."
Rodney the bartender, at the Penrith Panthers Club, preparing a delicious 'Stormy Monday' of pineapple juice, a dash
of Bitters, Malibu, Southern Comfort and a wedge of pineapple.
This delicious FRENCH MARTINI was imbibed at The Flying Duck Restaurant, Vacy NSW:
a combo of pineapple juice, Vodka and Chambord
Cin cin!
Congratulations! A great achievement - I always enjoy reading your posts, and I too always check out cocktail menus for something pineappleish!
ReplyDeleteGee thanks Annie for all the delectable dishes I've got to share in the last 7 years. They have all been great, can't think of one I didn't like. A standout was the barbecue rotisserie pineapple cooked all day till it caramelized. Then again if you baste anything with enough brown sugar and butter it's bound to be good. Les
