Food Matches made in Heaven<\/b><\/p>\n

February, the month of love and all things amorous. More importantly, for food lovers, it also happens to be the culmination of our summer season and some of South Africa\u2019s best fruit is available throughout the month. Inspired by the ultimate book for food lovers,\u00a0<\/span>The Flavour Thesaurus <\/span><\/i>by Niki Segnit, and in celebration of harmonious pairings, here are the flavour combinations we\u2019re crushing on this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raspberries and Goat\u2019s Cheese<\/strong>\"raspberry_goat\"<\/b>This flavour pairing might not seem very obvious but if you\u2019re <\/span>au fait<\/span><\/i> with sweet and savoury food combinations or are partial to a cheese board with a fruity preserve, then you\u2019re already halfway to making raspberry and goat\u2019s cheese a regular feature in your repertoire. Ripe raspberries have a slight dairy or cream note to them, hence why they work so well with cream, yoghurt and, in this case, soft cheese. Pair them in the aforementioned cheese board, allowing the floral, fruitiness to cut through the cheesy richness, or give the flavours some room to mingle and throw together this easy R<\/a>aspberry and Goat\u2019s Cheese Salad with a Raspberry Dressing.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mango and Coconut<\/strong>\"Mango<\/p>\n

Easily one of the most classic combinations in Thai cuisine, especially in desserts. The reason behind this perfect pairing is that a ripe mango will leave whispers reminiscent of coconut at the back of your throat due to its creamy, fragrant flavour notes. Use this pairing in something other than coconut sticky rice with mango by trying your hand at this Frozen Mango Souffl\u00e9 with Sweet Coconut Sauce<\/a><\/strong> \u2013ideal for a summer dessert or even as part of a Valentine\u2019s dinner menu.<\/p>\n

Figs and Hard Cheese<\/strong>\"Fig<\/p>\n

Is there a more impassioned fruit than a fig? Shaped like a droplet of love, complete with a passionate red heart centre, it evokes images of Romans feeding their lovers. You even have to pout to bite into it! As with raspberries and goat\u2019s cheese, here is another happy cheese and fruit marriage, this time with mature hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Gruyere, developing complex nutty notes \u2013 the perfect accompaniments for sweet, sticky figs. Upgrade from the cheeseboard and give these Twice Baked Gruy\u00e8re Souffl\u00e9s with a Fig, Walnut and Rocket Salad<\/a> a go.<\/p>\n

Pineapple and Grapefruit<\/b>\"Pineapple<\/p>\n

<\/b>Not that pineapple needs much to elevate it, but a squeeze of fresh grapefruit juice will take it to tropical heights and places, at least in your head. In-season pineapple is nothing but a big hit of fruity, sweetness and grapefruit, with its musky, herbaceous citrus notes, will round out the sugar and add necessary balance. Enjoy these two flavour powerhouses in this island-inspired Pineapple and Grapefruit Mojito<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
