    Brie, Pear and Almond Puffs

    When I think hors d’oeuvres, I think one bite. Passed hors d’oeuvres should be easily eaten and not messy at all. At the most, you may need to wipe your fingers on a small cocktail napkin.

    These little bites are perfect for your next party. These are good when passed on a tray by a well dressed server, or placed on a lovely serving platter, center stage on your food table.

    I had a lot of fun building mine. I decided to make cute little flowers with mine ( and then made some that just looked like puffs). These could be made into a variety of shapes and forms, making them incredibly versatile for any affair.

  • Brie, Honey and Lemon Pancakes with Toasted Pecans, White Chocolate Shavings and  Maple Syrup

    Brie, Honey and Lemon Pancakes with Toasted Pecans, White Chocolate Shavings and Maple Syrup

    In August, I competed in a completion thrown by Chefs Roll in collaboration with Callebaut, home of the finest Belgian chocolate. Out of the 10 categories that were open to compete in, I entered in 4 of them. One of the categories was Breakfast Breads and so I made these pancakes. Although they did not progress to the second round, they were very delicious and very different than any pancake I had ever made before.

    The pancake itself is savory and creamy with a touch of sweetness from the honey and a hint of acid from the lemon juice added to the batter and the lemon zest garnishing the top. You can omit the nuts if that’s not your thing, but I found that the crunch they provided was absolutely fantastic paired with the creaminess of the pancakes. Unfortunately, I did not take a lot of pictures of the pancakes because I only needed one to submit for competition, but if you’ve made a pancake before, it should be a pretty straightforward process. Good luck, and good eating.
