One thing for sure, Filipino kitchens will be busy preparing for the usual New Year’s Eve fiesta! I am sharing this recipe for a different kind of fruit salad whipped up by Chef Jonathan Paul Em during a cooking demo organized by Electrolux Philippines in Alabang Town Center last December 3.
The chef also showed how to make Christmas Paella, Cassava Tarts and Smoked Salmon Cucumber Rolls but the Spiced Fruit Salad Cups recipe was the best one I liked. Read on….
