FFTO Blogger Of The Week: Only Nature: Foodporn!

It’s that time of the week again. Once more we’ve been trawling the web to find a brand new Fruit For The Office Blogger Of The Week. This week, we stumbled across a blog by Kok-Loong Wong.

Kok-Loong began cooking at around the age of 10 and for the past 3 years has been documenting his tasty stories on the blog Only Nature:Foodporn! (a bit naughty I know!). His aim is to cook delicious meals that ‘satisfy not only out taste buds and our stomachs but also our eyes and imagination’

Many of his recipes draw on Malaysian/Asian inspirations and his recipes marry flavours together that many people would never think of. Kok-Loong also takes some classic food combinations and puts his very own, often fruity, spin on them.

One of his recipes is a Satsuma Marmalade Cake made with his very own home made satsuma marmalade. The cake is topped with a delicious dark chocolate and marmalade icing topping. Two ingredients which Kok-Loong says compliment each other really well.

Kok-Loong also recently teamed Roast Pork Belly with Mango Relish (pictured above) – another match that seems to be made in heaven. Sounds like a defiantly tasty twist on the classic pork and apple combo.

Congratulations Kok-Loong Wong!

FFTO Blogger Of The Week - Life Of A Cupcake Baker

We’re sticking with the chocolate theme for this week's annoucment of Blogger Of The Week . This week we were captivated by Kat’s blog who introduces us to the Life Of A Cupcake Baker.

Her most recent post was a delicious sounding recipe for chocolate chilli cupcakes. A spicy twist on a cupcake classic that sounds just perfect for National Chocolate Week.

But don’t worry; we’ve not totally abandoned our fruity roots. Kat also had an array of fruit based cupcakes that we absolutely loved.

Our personal favourite is her Banana Daiquiri Cupcakes. Cake, fruit and booze – you can’t go wrong with that!

FFTO Blogger of the Week - Yummy Choo Eats

We stumbled across another fabulous blog this week. Selina’s blog Yummy Choo Eats is a collection of really homely dishes. Her incredible recipes are not fancy dinner party show off dishes (however for the record, if I were served any of these at a dinner party, I would be a very happy bunny). Selina’s recipes are about being comfortable in your kitchen and following your instincts.

Selina also seems to use one of my favourite styles of cooking. That’s the ‘lets just see what I’ve got in the cupboard and put something magical together’ style.

What stole the show for us over at Fruit HQ was her recipe for a pear, dark chocolate and hazelnut crumble – served with custard of course.

FFTO Blogger of the Week – All That I'm Eating

All That I’m Eating is a great blog written by someone who clearly champions fruit and veg. Past posts have included highlights from her vegetable patch, asparagus and hollandaise sauce adventures, a gooseberry fool recipe and even tales of a watermelon cocktail.

We loved the blog and images on foraging for fruit – it reminded us that that fruit doesn’t always come straight from the office fruit box!




And who knew there were purple French beans in the world!

Great blog, brilliant writing, lovely recipes.

FFTO Blogger of the Week – Cookie's Cakes and Bakes

This week’s winner is a fabulous blogger called Nicola. Her Cookie’s Cakes and Bakes blog has only been going for a few weeks but has already grabbed our attention over at Fruit HQ

Each blog post is made up of easy to follow step by step instructions and edible photography that makes you want to get your spatula out.



In the past few weeks her recipes have included Strawberry and Cream Cupcakes a Banana, Coconut and Passion Fruit Loaf Cake and our personal favourite Chocolate Orange Brownies.

Nicola has clearly proved herself to be a fruity blogger so she more than deserves the Fruit For The Office seal of approval.

Thanks Nicola!

FFTO Blogger of the Week – The Feel Good Food Book

The very first Fruit For The Office Blogger of Week has been found! The Feel Good Food Book written by Katy Riddle gives us insights to her culinary adventures that leave you itching to get in the kitchen. What really struck cord with us over at Fruit HQ was the recipe for chocolate banana loaf. If you’ve got any bananas left over in your office fruit box at the end of the week – this is the perfect thing to do with them. Take a look HERE



Our only question is, seeing as it looks just like a loaf bread – is it ok eat a slice for breakfast?
