here's how i encountered these delectable sugar coated currants...i had an early celebration for my birthday at chez panisse while on a working vacation in san francisco. eating at this alice waters' restaurant in berkeley is akin to a pilgrimage to good-food-mecca. with a well aged bottle of bordeaux in hand, we walked under the wooden arbor at the restaurant entrance beside ourselves with excitement. i was already blown away with the reasonable pricing for a 4-course prix fix dinner. the food was amazing in everyway. i will eat whatever alice wants me to eat anytime. this was our menu for the dinner: 1. bruschetta with heirloom tomatoes, house-cured pancetta and wild rocket. 2. risotto with saffron and squash blossoms 3. grilled veal loin and calf's liver w/ fried potatoes and green beans. 4. mulberry ice cream profiteros. just when we felt that things couldn't possibly get any better, this dainty plate of sugar-coated currants and chocolate truffled almonds arrived to push us over the edge to a new level of food-contentment-stupor...
Creyde has teamed up with a new partner in crime for new culinary adventures this winter!
Winter Wonders and the Order of the Universe
Although we still don't know what 96% of the universe is made of, cooking is a way to manipulate the edible 4% we DO know into delicious wonders. However, the laws of time and space apply. You can turn an egg into an omelette, but you can't turn an omelette into an egg!
What is Creyde anyways?
Creyde (pronounced Cre-gee) is someone who lives for the sensory pleasures of life!
