Durian

A large, green, spiky, southeast Asian fruit about the size of a football. The durian has a sickening smell - many airlines refuse to transport it. The creamy, slightly sweet flesh, however, has an exquisitely rich, custardy texture. Thought by many to have aphrodisiac qualities.

Hot Tips

Dried vs. fresh herbs

When substituting dried herbs for fresh herbs use approximately a third of the suggested quantity, as the dried herbs will tend to be more pungent. However, the older the dried herbs the less flavour they will have, so taste as you go.
