I'll do Poulet Fafa (Tahitian chicken with taro spinach leaves, tomorrow probably.  Just need to get the spinach and I'm ready to go.  


Done, will post the recipe after we have tried it.

Well just as well you  don't have any Taro leaves  as they an be pretty evil unless handled right. 

Tahiti is absolutely beautiful today , warm  at 27 , no clouds and the water is crystal clear.

Can we stay there a while Gert to give others a chance to cook something too - just because I was first in, doesn't mean others can't have a go, the more recipes the better. Perhaps if those wanting to do something can put their hand up so you know how many recipes to expect.

Oh I agree Judy. The food in Tahiti an be wonderful. I think we need to go around the islands don't you . From Papeete we can get a ferry to Moorea. Let's jus laze around here. We will need a rest  as the next place is going to be hectic.

Here we can find some recipes.

I served Gourmet beef casserole over the Pilhi Corn tonight and it makes a nice alternative to mashed potato or rice. This means I have had it for breakfast, dinner and dessert which is a good thing as there is so much of it!

You need only one thing Judy, you can have it for all the meals in the day.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

The Tahitian sweet Bread is lovely and tropical tasting, moist too. It doesn't have yeast in. Easy to make and lovely to eat.

The recipe is here.
