Bananas Foster aka Bananes Flambées Recipe | Club Foody

 

A real foody loves a great meal and I think it’s safe to say everyone also enjoys entertainment.
What about dinner and a show?
 
Back in the 70s’ & 80s’, a few dishes had tableside preparation. It was quite common and entertaining at the same time. It gave a special touch to the dining experience. This was one of the Maître D’s functions (very seldom was the server doing it); tossing fresh salads like Caesar Salad, flambéing some food items at the table like Steak Diane, enjoying a roast being carved or having a nice juicy Rack of Lamb portioned in front of you, preparing a dessert like Crêpes Suzette or Bombe Alaska (Baked Alaska) or having a cocktail like Volcanos smoking at your table or setting a sugar cube on fire for your Absinthe drink!
 
I have so many memorable flashbacks of tableside preparations like Steak Tartare at one of the most upscale restaurants on ByWard Market in Ottawa, enjoying a Chateaubriand carved in front of me and my friend Joe F. at a very elegant establishment in Las Vegas, watching the room captain at Melvyn’s Restaurant in Palm Springs flambéing my Steak Diane, enjoying a Spanish Coffee made in front of me at El Dorado in Puerto Vallarta or having Michael from the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle making our Bananas Foster right at our table.
 
Bananas Foster also known as Bananes Flambées in French is an incredible dessert! From start to finish, you can enjoy it within 15 minutes. What helps the “flambé” is obviously the alcohol from the rum. Can you make it without it? Sure but my question is why? It gives a very subtle taste to the bananas. I also add some orange zest, just enough to bring some freshness to the dessert…
 
Entertaining requires a lot of effort and when it’s time for the dessert, we usually like to serve something already made. Served with Vanilla Ice Cream, this quick and easy Bananas Foster is a delicious choice! It’s visually entertaining and appealing plus very tantalizing for your taste buds…
Bon Appétit!
