Hachiya Persimmons : Bay Area Bites. About a month ago, I wrote about Fuyu persimmons, which are one of my favorite fall fruits.

Hachiya Persimmons : Bay Area Bites

This week, I’d like to extol the virtues of the Hachiya persimmon. Hachiyas are the misunderstood fruit of winter: although they are sweet and wonderful when baked into cakes and puddings, many people are afraid to eat them because they are truly awful when immature. A firm Hachiya is extraordinarily astringent and inedible. I admit that taking a bite out of one is sort of like eating an unripe bitter walnut while suddenly having all the moisture sucked out of your cheeks and tongue. But there’s a very simple way to avoid this: don’t eat Hachiyas until they’re ripe.

Like Fuyus, Hachiyas range in color from light orange to a reddish sunset. Before you eat a Hachiya, make sure it is soft and squishy as you need to wait for the fruit’s tannins to break down before the pulp loses its astringency and takes on a sweet and sugary flavor.

Ooh La La Profiteroles — Culinary Inspiration

Now I don't like dieting, because I don't like being tortured. But how amazing would it be to have a diet consisting of your favorite foods? For me, those 2 food types that I love love love are salads & desserts. There's something about having a good salad to put you in that 'walking on sunshine' mood. You feel healthy, light and like you've done some good that day, even if it was just to your body.

Now on to dessert. Many people in the states haven't heard of profiteroles, which is a shame because they're one of the most perfect desserts. Easy Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Streusel Recipe.
