A balanced diet, Banana Icon Series, Oil on copper, 20 x 15cm
During my month as artist in residence at the Adelaide Central Markets I asked people to bring me their family recipes. A young mother came in with a little boy of about four eager for him to share their favourite family breakfast. “Tell the nice artist lady how we eat bananas'“ …silence.. “You know, tell her, tell the nice artist … how do we eat bananas at home”…. The young boy looked up at his Mum with a priceless look on his face, totally baffled, shrugged his shoulders and said…”You just peel it!”
It was the most perfect recipe I heard all month. It’s gluten free, nut free, dairy free, vegan, with no added sugar and the preparation time is five seconds!
We both laughed and I never did get the recipe for banana pancakes she so often made with her family. What’s your favourite banana recipe? Please email me cfgart@gmail.com
