We were sitting around talking in the Oceanic Ventures’ backyard (i.e. David’s Backyard) and the subject of desserts came up. Zaide mentioned a coconut pie and I just started thinking about some of the fun special coconut pies I have enjoyed around the world.
There is probably nothing as special as eating a coconut pie, made from fresh coconuts sitting and watching the sunset over the Somosomo Straits in Fiji. Couple this with a nice cup of tea followed by a whisky on the deck and I am in heaven! Oh that is after a fabulous day of diving and living in a remote resort.
The funny thing was that in my email this morning was an email from “Once Upon a Chef’s” Jenn Segal with a recipe for a Coconut Cream Pie. It is a little different from the Coconut Pie in Fiji (I am trying to get the recipe or I will recreate it soon) but it looks wonderful. I can’t wait to try it (or maybe we can talk Zaide into making it for us to try!)
Maybe you should try it. Once you have your slice, sit back and remember some of your favorite dives. In your mind transport yourself to those times and as you enjoy each bite, just imagine yourself being there. Relive the experience and just be there. Now it is time for the next bite…
