Didn't know the name of this one, luckily there was a small text on the box. Saw it sometimes in a restaurant as decoration of a dessert! Officially it's called "Physalis peruviana". According to the Wikipedia it's a Cape Gooseberry (Kaapse goudbes in Dutch). Didn't know what to do with it, but found a nice dessert recipe. Most ingredients were available, so here it is. Kind of chocolate cake.
Recipe for 4 persons:( a quick translation)
150 gr. chocolate + 100 gr butter (very slowly melted, au bain marie). Add 1 tablespoon of (orange) liqueur, 6 almond cookies (crunched), put it on a quiche plate (18 cm). Divide 8 berries in a circle and put it 2 hours (covered) in the fridge. Cut the "cake" in 8 pieces and put them on (4) plates with some cacao powder. Bon appétit!
After dinner: the fruit was wonderful, the chocolate heavy (but nice).
Tip: I had some problems getting the chocolate out of the plate. Put the bottom of the plate for a few seconds in hot water and it's a lot easier.
Yep! Henk, I agree with the three comments below. You have a real talent for these food and fruit shots. This is another excellent image. Love the black background.
Perhaps you should put out a recipe book with these gorgeous photos to illustrate it. I'm not familiar with that fruit, but golly it looks gorgeous against the black. That dessert looks so yum.
another amazing food shot .. that fruit looks almost like the yolk of an egg ... you have a gift for photographing food and making it look extremely tasty ... :)
