Any Recipes Specifically Targeting Bamboo?

[byrd1956]

Is there a file or does anyone have a Recipes by product document for any bamboo products? I thought having something like that along with some enticing pictures would be great to share with customers.

Salads are always great!

The catalog has amazing pictures. Just open it to that page while talking about the products. I use bamboo all the time for serving the recipes I demo.

I do pantry items in the bamboo..dip for chips , sauces over cream cheese with crackers on cracker tray and oil dipping in the small petite bowls with bread in medium square bowl.

I found this recipe in another area of this site. I have also made it, and it received rave reviews. The comments are from other people. I have only made it with sugar. It looks absolutely beautiful on the bamboo platter!This is one of my favorite recipes. . .and yes, there is a great deal of sugar. When I use sugar, I just make sure the person mixing the dressing whisks the heck out of it. I wanted you to know that I have successfully made this with Splenda and people were equally as pleased as when I've used sugar.Strawberry Spinach Salad
Dressing

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

There was a Tropical Torte that is a great recipe for summer time that you can serve on the bamboo platter. It's in one of the season's bests.

Have you thought about trying to use honey instead of sugar? I would be curious to know if it is a good replacement, since I stay far, far away from Splenda.

I haven't tried anything. I was going to try Splenda, but how do you feel about Truvia? I bet the honey would be tasty and it would take care of the graininess (not sure if this is even a word) of the sugar.

I like Truvia and Agave Nectar. I appreciate all the comments. Thank you!
