My mother always enjoyed cooking-for her family and for herself. Now that we are grown and we have our own families, we visited her on Sundays and she still spoils us with good home-cooked meals.

Coconut, strawberry, and banana smoothie coupled with curried rice, bacon and cabbage pilaf were just one of my favorites from her.

Banana Split with Curried Chocolate-Coconut Sauce

By Juvy S. Iliwiliw

One of the things I remember that my grandmother said was that she never really cooked when she was single. She says she only started cooking when she married my grandfather. Until now, she's still surprised by how people would react when she makes a meal. My mom's friends would come by all the time and would always look forward to what she could cook for them. She continues by saying that during those days nobody really paid attention to cooking but they focused more on socials and different gatherings amongst men and women. In hearing this, my brain just started recalling so many friends of mine who would say that they need to start learning how to cook to win a husband. Not only did my grandmother win a husband, but she also gained such a tremendous skill in cooking just by practicing and trying out new things in the kitchen. Before long, I have learned also how to cook because of my grandmother. It all started with making simple desserts until I have really finally mastered my own kitchen. Hope you will not be afraid trying new things because there is still much to look forward to! The kitchen is your playground, the ingredients, your friends. You don't have to be a professional chef to win someone over.

This recipe will also make use of passion fruit. In choosing ripe passion fruits, look for dry and very wrinkled ones. If you can't find them, look for frozen pulp at Latin markets.
