Where can I find recipes for foods and desserts that may go with Miracle fruit?

I have heard of miracle fruit cafe which makes desserts and what not, but can not find many good recipes which go with miracle fruit. Please help me find a blog or something were someone has posted recipes.





P.S. For those who dont know miracle fruit alter you tastebuds by blocking sour receptors i believe. Thanks!!!Where can I find recipes for foods and desserts that may go with Miracle fruit?
The fruit is a small bright red, ellipsoid berry approximately 2 to 3 cm long and containing a single seed. Although not sweet itself, when a single fruit is eaten and the fleshy pulp allowed to coat the taste buds of the tongue and inside of the mouth, an extraordinary effect occurs. The fruit will now allow one to eat a slice of lemon or lime without wincing. The marvelous aroma and inherent sweetness of the citrus remains but the sourness is almost completely covered. The effect remains for some 30 minutes or more.





Miracle fruit works immediately after touching your tongue so be brave and dig in:





* Goat鈥檚 cheese - tastes like cream cheese frosting


* Blue cheese - $2 cheese tastes like $200 cheese


* Sourdough bread 鈥?not sure seems to be better, eat with your blue cheese


* Lemons, Limes 鈥?sweet!!


* Grapefruit 鈥?candy!


* Pomelo 鈥?not as good as grapefruit, but still great!


* Tomatoes 鈥?imagine life sized cherry tomatoes


* Honey Dew 鈥?brings out the soft subtle flavors


* Cantalope 鈥?like honey dew, one time with miracle fruit and you鈥檙e a fan of these fruits for life


* Granny Apple 鈥?best apple of your life


* Strawberries 鈥?makes bad berries good; right off the vine good


* Broccoli 鈥?amazingly the cooked stems taste like artichoke hearts


* Cabbage 鈥?cooked tastes great


* Mango 鈥?good


* Grapes 鈥?almost too sweet


* Pineapple 鈥?again almost too sweet


* Cherry 鈥?tasty but too sweet


* Rhubarb - (from WSJ - tastes like sugar stick)


* Lychee - one of our reader's favorites





Don鈥檛 try





* Ginger 鈥?very overpowering, miracle fruit doesn't help


* Radish 鈥?no difference in taste or intensity


* Coconut 鈥?has no taste


* Coffee - just heard it doesn't work





This is really one of those subtle life changing experiences. Not only will you gain a great appreciation for fruits and vegetables, but you will find yourself eating more of them even after the effects of the miracle fruit are gone.
