This guy is like a little Parm Crisp Puppy Shark. He’s making his next best move. And you should too, by heading over to @parmcrisps to get your snackie fixing. I love them crumbled over hot soup or with Salumi boards. And it’s a perfect weekend for movie watching so you could replace your popcorn with these. Heck! Toss buttered popcorn in crushed Parm Crisp bits to elevate your movie cravings tonight.
I had a fun time putting together the imagery for these snacks as a collaboration with Parm Crisps. Sometimes those snacks are all you can think about during munch time (which is kind of an all day task)! But, these gluten free, keto friendly, carb-less cheesy bites are quite versatile. I’ve even tried melting them over soup. I’m one of those people who loves finding little bundles of melted cheese in my soup, it’s sometimes more delicious to get a mouthful of all the goodness at once.
Also, if you’re missing checkers to your game-board then these are the best replacement. Whether you win some or lose some, you can also eat some! These crisps are here to made snack time and meal time a little more special. Check out their webpage on where to purchase yours!
It amazed me, all of the unique ice cream flavors at the quaint, tucked away Alleyway Ice Cream spot. Sure, you find lots of concepts similar to this in big cities, but Julian Hom’s ice cream doesn’t compare to anything I’ve seen upstate. His flavor combos are developed through the critical eye of a foodie and well-seasoned traveler. It’s a complete experiment of risk that he is always willing to take! So, I took it upon myself to experiment flavors with him. We both found beauty in the prettiest colors and textures imagining the final product to taste as lovely as it looked. Our first flavor was made with an elderflower ice cream base, edible flowers and homemade crunchy honeycomb. It’s floral and refreshing reminding me of a sweet cocktail encompassed in an ice cream scoop! And, as a gal who loves her toppings, this one should only be consumed solo. It’s rare that I ever want to do this!
Julian also wanted to create a flavor with some tang to it! Creamy goat cheese with swirls of pomegranate molasses gave this cone some edginess. It’s definitely a flavor that should also be eaten without any added toppings other than a little drizzle of more molasses.
Only a few more weeks until the heart of this recipe is unveiled! I would never say gin is on my list of likable spirits, but after tasting this beauty by Pomp and Whimsey, I won’t be turning my back on gin again. It’s fair to say this multi botanical spirit is feminine forward so raise your glasses to that ladies and gents! It’s deeelish! And with my choice of any Perfect Puree ingredient I am feeling summer in my bones! Also excited to concoct an app with perfect puree in addition. I’m thinking two flavor profiles that synchronize together with floral garnish?!
It’s memorial day weekend which means summer is pretty much here! Lots of exciting things are happening and I can’t wait to share them all with you. I have another pasta recipe with Benedetto Cavalieri pasta coming your way!!! Here is a sneak peek below:
I am also working on a collaboration with Perfect Puree and Pomp and Whimsey Gin! This July I will be attending the Les Dame d’ Escoffier scholarship gala and as a former scholarship recipient, I was offered the opportunity to partner with these brands to create an innovative delicious cocktail! AND I will be creating a savory food item with a Perfect Puree product to go along with it.
I’m thinking flavor profiles of lychee, vanilla bean, elderflower, and key lime! This is NOT the final drink, but something I am reaaalllly adoring!!!
This summer I will be traveling far and wide. I want to tell you where, but for now, that’s my best-kept secret… more of a reason to stay in the know of The Garnished Palate! This time the course is going to be quite different. Since I have been working as a Culinary Associate Producer for nearly 8 months now, my role is changing slightly on this next show we are working on. I am taking on the role of Associate Producer which means I won’t be worrying about swap outs, props, and grocery shopping, nor will I be touching food- YIKES, THIS IS KIND OF SCARY.
I’m still trying to understand the role in its entirety, but I can tell you that I am LOVING it. Associate producing on a travel show comes with its own thrills. Researching locations, making relationships, scouting, interviews, planning and asking lots of questions and being alert for every possible thing that could go wrong. I think it’s important for me to learn every aspect of this media industry and I realize that it doesn’t always have to be handling food.
