From L to R: The first spoonful was a soft-boiled quail egg with roasted beets, pomegranate sauce and a shaving of truffles. The second spoon contained a broiled piece of steak, very well seasoned with garlic and a lot of peppercorns, and topped with a shitake mushroom. It was oozing with its own juices. YUM! And the last spoonful was a poached fig in wine, topped with a shaving of a very stinky, musty and woodsy Swiss cheese, but it worked well with the fig.
Finally, to end our evening of indulgence, we decided to try out Karen Krasne’s Extraordinary Desserts. Her offerings range from cheesecakes, tortes, creme brulees, and mousse cakes to tarts, loaves, and cookies. She also serves coffees imported from Hawaii and Italy and teas from Paris.
My husband had a berry filled strudel that was flaky and buttery and delicious. I had a passion fruit meringue tart topped with fresh berries and a scoop of raspberry sorbet (pictured above). All her desserts are wonderful, but a bit too sugary for me. I believe she offers some low-sugar desserts, which I’m thinking of trying next time.
BTW, the pictures here were taken by my mobile phone.
