Rhubarb & Vanilla Compote with Coconut and Syrup


Today is one of my favourite moments since I started this food blog. I get the absolute pleasure to direct you to one of my favourite blogs, A Thought For Food , which is authored by the very talented Brian Samuels, equally gifted with words and beautiful photography.  Brian is one of my favourite people from this community and with one browse through his site you'll no doubt be as enamoured as I am. Be ready for something special.

The moment Brian asked me if I would do a guest post for his site I almost immediately knew what I wanted to do. At first I was shocked, because I had never been asked before, and then I was genuinely flattered. I'm inspired whenever I visit his site and leave happier than when I arrived. So I'm beyond words that he wanted me to contribute.


Now please go and check out my guest post and recipe for this wonderful rhubarb dessert and take your time visiting when you're there. I promise you'll be happy you did!

    Mike, that was a beautiful and very touching post. Poignant moments like this, whether sour or sweet, are the ones we carry with us in every aspect of life. The rhubarb reflects this, and it was a truly lovely guest post.
