This week's recipe is a fun take on traditional waffles. We have chosen to create this recipe using a selection of tropical fruits, however, feel free to swap these out for some fruits of your choice.

We have served this beautiful dish on our best-seller, the ocean medium paddle. This piece is always a show stopper and we couldn’t imagine a better dish to show it off on.
