We returned the favor by giving them a taste of our Chocolate & Garnet Yam Mousse, about which Eric commented below. <em>bouchée</em> produces gourmet, organic, cakes & cupcakes. THE EDITORS) I tried your yam pudding soon after seeing you. You were right that it needed something to sweeten it. We put agave in it & that did the trick. The texture was a little rugged for a pudding. Bernadette thought you might try butternut squash for a creamier finish. I also thought that there was a slightly bitter after taste, which doesn't lend itself to a traditional dessert; but that can also be minimized by adding something acidic, like lemon or orange. In thinking about how I would use it, at the point I'm not certain. Our customers expect a sweeter dessert; think macarons & meringue. I imagine that if we get something that works well we could use it as a filling in a vegan cake -- vegan wedding cake or something. If I used it as a filling I would either puree the raisins or nix them altogether. I would also try to firm it up a bit by adding fat, like a butter substitute or pressed palm oil. Just some thoughts. (Note: Having tasted bouchée’s cupcakes we can vouch for them being air light, not too sweet and delicious).

]]> Comment on Pomegranate, The Wonderful Super Fruit by Julie Lynch http://freerangeclub.com/healthy-eating/pomegranate-wonderful-super-fruit/comment-page-1/#comment-2024 Julie Lynch Tue, 03 Apr 2012 01:22:41 +0000 http://freerangeclub.com/?p=1839#comment-2024 Great article. I love hearing about super fruits and their benefits. I tried a drink by the name of Go Yin and it changed my life, so much so that I've made it my second job sharing it with others. It has twenty super fruits, but I'm not sure if pomegranate is one of them. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for a wealth of knowledge! Great article.

I have a habit of washing all vegetables, including bananas, and encourage others to do the same. Imagine all the dirt, germs, chemicals and grimy hands that have touched fresh produce? Yuck! I do question the safety of using clorox on edible food. I cant see how that can be good for you or the environment. I would to hear your comments and as well as others in this group on this.
