On dessert

Welcome!  The inaugural post for this blog is about a tested observation.  The dessert recipe suggested by a contestant on Top Chef recently, asian pears with elderflower, is amazing.  I would avoid presenting with  chocolate ganache though - muddies things up, both visually and organoleptically.  Vanilla or honey ice cream - OK - it doesn't get in the way as much.  But best with just sliced asian pears and St. Germain liqueur.  Delicate - floral - ethereal.
