Seems like it’ll be an exciting movie with beautiful graphics, doesn’t it? We can’t wait.

The Fruit Salad

In a tribute to the upcoming film, we’ve decided to share a fruit salad recipe, inspired by Baloo’s ‘Bare Necessities’. The salad, adapted from Food In Literature, is a combination of papayas (paw paws), nuts, bananas (because Baloo loves his bananas) and sugar. Give it a try and have it as an appetiser to a meal!
