what she had to say:
It's summer here in Florida and the mangoes are ripening! What does one
do
with tons of mangoes every week? When I lived in Tahiti I baked for a
living, mostly local fare. Mango cake was one of the items that was a
big
hit. If anyone knows of anything else I can use mangoes for besides
chutney
and cake please email me ...queenmo1@yahoo.com
