REALLY LOVELY DAY

PRAWN COCKTAIL
500g cooked large prawns
200g mayo
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1/2 lemon juiced
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp Tabasco (optional)
1 bunch coriander
2 iced gems, leaves separated
Salt and pepper optional

Take the mayo and add the tk, lemon juice, Tabasco, coriander mix well and season to your taste with salt and pepper and possibly a hint more lemon juice, add the prawns and cayenne pepper.  Take the leaves of the iced gem and individually place on a platter and fill each leave with the prawn cocktail and dust with a hint more cayenne pepper.

AVOCADO GUACAMOLE
1/4 lime juiced
1/4 onion fine chopped
10 sprigs coriander
1 pinch salt and black pepper
1 lrg ripe avocado

I love to make this in my pestle and mortar, I find it really satisfying.  Take the lime juice, onion, coriander and pound to a liquid, then add the avocado and bash to the consistency you require, I like my guacamole to be moderately smooth but chunky, taste and add seasoning or more lime juice.

PINEAPPLE DRINK CUPS
Fresh ripe pineapple
Bendy straws

Take the ripe pineapple and slice of the top approx 3 inches thick for the lid to the cup, make a small triangle cut out on one edge for the straw to pop through.

Run a knife around the inside of the pineapple and scoop out the centre, keep for fruit and topping the Hawaiian pizza with, replace the lid with the straw and then when ready fill with fruit juice, squash or a cocktail !!!

PINEAPPLE FRUIT BOWL
1 fresh pineapple
100g blueberries
100g raspberries
100g red grapes
50g strawberries

Take the pineapple and slice in half from the top to the bottom equally, scoop out the middle and chop into small chunks and place in a bowl, add the rest of the fruit to the bowl and then fill the the pineapple bowl with the fruit and serve.  With the other half fill with cherry plum tomatoes and cuecumber.
