Simple Pineapple Cutting Technique
In some countries, outdoor vendors will cut up fruit right before your eyes. I was overwhelmed by their skill, speed, and presentation, so I wanted to try doing it myself.
Don't forget to use a serrated bread knife rather than a normal kitchen knife to cut the pineapple skin, as it will be much easier to use.
Also, make sure that you make the handle at the beginning. Don't cut the entire leaf part off! Recipe by Mugitarou

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Using a bread knife with a serrated edge will make cutting the leaves and thick prickly skin easy.
- 2
In order to make a "handle" to use while cutting the pineapple, cut off the pointed parts of the leaves only.
- 3
By holding this end in your left hand and cutting with your right, you won't have to touch the pineapple directly, and your hands won't get sticky.
- 4
Use the knife to cut off the skin of the pineapple. It's alright if there are brown spots remaining on the fruit.
- 5
Once you've cut off the skin, remove the bottom of the pineapple.
- 6
From this point on, switch from the bread knife to a carving knife or a paring knife. Since the brown spots on the pineapple are aligned diagonally, cut notches in the pineapple along those lines.
- 7
To cut out the brown spots, cut notches on the other side of the brown spots and remove them.
- 8
Continue cutting the diagonal lines by slowly turning the pineapple, removing all of the brown spots.
- 9
Once all the spots have been removed, cut off the handle and all remaining leaves.
- 10
First, cut the pineapple in half down the middle, then cut into whatever size pieces you like (quarters, sixths, etc).
- 11
Cut off the central pith of the pineapple.
- 12
Cut into bite size pieces and serve.

Pineapple Tart Pineapple Tart
As you already know that I am not a fan of the pineapple tart. This is my humble version. Can you imagine that I had been planning to make this for about a year? I am glad that my idea had finally come to a fruition. It is very fulfilling to accomplish a goal whether it will be a success or a failure. It is the process which I had fallen in love with.This consist of a chocolate tart with a marzipan and pineapple jam fillings. I really love marzipan. It is probably my top 3 desserts ingredients, aside from chocolate and lemon. The tart is topped with a frozen mousse. Yes, a frozen pineapple mousse glazed with a white chocolate based mirror-effect syrup. I decided to add some decoration with some small mint leaves and dark chocolate shavings.Yes, this takes massive amount of time and effort, but as soon as you see the end results, it is all worth it. It is even more rewarding when you see the smiles of those whom you served these to. My daughters commented this is like heaven. I hope you will not be intimidated to give this recipe a try, cos if a geezer like me can do this, so can anyone. Let's get started with the recipe.

How To Cut a Mango Restaurant Style How To Cut a Mango Restaurant Style
I tried several times to recreate the cut mangoes we had some time ago at a Thai restaurant.I discovered this method of figuring out the shape and direction of the pit from experience.Turn the mango round and round to ascertain where the edge of the pit is. If the mango is not ripe the fruit will not come away from the skin easily, so be sure to use a ripe one. The mango in the photos is the red-skinned Kent variety. Other varieties may not turn red, but as long as they are soft they are ripe. Recipe by Sawaokayoshimi
