HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We will be entering into 2012 tomorrow, I would like to take a moment to thank my family and friends, my blogger friends and my readers. Quay Po Cooks would not have survived one and half years in the blogging world without your comments, support and encouragement. If I have overlooked a comment or have not replied to any comments you have left on my posts, I apologize. I will try to do better.  There were times when I wished to visit your blogs as often as I would like to but could not,  please know that I would if I could. I am not good at making a speech to show you my appreciation so I have invited Shakespeare to do it on my behalf. 


2011 was good for me because I have derived tremendous joy from blogging, sharing recipes, food photos and the happenings in my life with you. I know 2012 will be even better with your continuous love and support. 
Here is one last recipe for the year 2011.

MANGO-BANANA PIE






Ingredient:
1 baked pie shell 


Please click on this pic to get the recipe for the pie shell

2 cups mango puree
1 tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
honey (amount depends on the sweetness of the mango)
1 tbs caramel
t tbs Cornstarch, dissolved in ½ tbs water
5 bananas, sliced (depends on the size of banana)
Whipped cream

Method:
Prepare the pie shell. Make sure your fruit is very ripe. The mangoes should be sweet and orange. Bring mango puree to boil. Add a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel and honey. Mix well. Add cornstarch mixture to thicken. Remove from heat and cool. Pour mixture into baked pie shell and decorate with sliced bananas. Chill and serve topped with whipped cream. 

May 2012 brings you a beautiful dawn to your life each 
and every day. 
Wishing you and your loved ones a funfilled New Year!!

With Much Love from:
Quay Po and Family
Family is the main ingredient in our life, without it,
we will be under nourished - Quay Po

  25. It's so funny the way so many are ending the the year with banana recipes this year. I guess we've all gone a little bananas this year!!! On to 2012 with lots of goodness and goodies!!! (You don't mind if I take your heavenly Mango-Banana Pie with me:)

    It's been wonderful getting to know you and your family these past months Veronica. I look forward to an entire year of fun and deliciousness!!! Thank you. I too worry about not getting to everyone. I hope to do better this year also:)

    Happy, Safe & Healthy New Year to You and Yours! Enjoy!!! Louise.
