There are so many wonderful online food communities these days and buried deep in a number of them are threads devoted entirely to feijoas. All it takes is a clever search and you can stumble across heavenly concoctions such as this Italian-infused dessert of savoiardi, mascarpone, limoncello and feijoa, found at Everybody Communities NZ. The entry credits this to Ray McVinnie, MasterChef NZ judge, Cuisine magazine Food Editor and writer of a weekly food column for the Sunday Star Times, Sunday magazine.

FEIJOA FEIJOA 
This is a fabulous recipe, and so simple! Just a little addition I made , which gives a bit of a contrast in textures, is to sprinkle the top with some slivered almonds before baking.
I tend to personalise recipes a lot myself. Almonds sound wonderful.
