My first attempt at a recipe: the Fruit Salad! (Note: I had to substitute the vanilla bean pod for extract and the apricots for peaches, shame they don't have the latter fresh in-store)
I loved how it turned out. The syrup may have been a little less viscous than I expected and I had too many honeydew balls, but there's enough liquid essence at the bottom of the bowl that most of this can soak and absorb the syrup.
The peaches are the best part of this dish overall, and I have so much left over I'll be feasting for days on this!
I'll be making more as time and budget allows and I promise to share more pictures when I can. (Turns out, a lot of the recipes are not very economical, especially the "strange bun")
