11. Featured Cookbook: Alice Medrich's Pure Dessert
True Flavors, Inspiring Ingredients, and Simple Recipes
January 2007
Artisan Publishing
The emphasis is on flavor in this collection of "simple, ingredient-driven recipes" made from "fresh, artisanal, organic, natural, or otherwise distinguished 'real' ingredients." You won't find any frosted, sweet-enough-to-rot-your-teeth creations here, but the results of these recipes will be delicious, inventive, and more than enough to impress any guest. How could you go wrong with a Milk Chocolate Sorbet or a Plum and Almond Tart? With the full-color photographs, original suggestions and advice, you will be trading in your store-bought frosting for a jar of honey in no time.

 14. Recipe for Honey Pecan Tuiles by Pastry Chef Malika Ameen, formerly of Aigre Doux - Chicago, IL
Adapted by StarChefs.com
January 2011
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces 10X sugar
5.9 ounces wildflower honey
8.5 ounces all-purpose flour
8.5 ounce egg whites, room temperature
Chopped pecans
Simple syrup
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Paddle the butter and sugar until combined. Add the wildflower honey. Begin adding the flour, alternating with the egg whites, and beat until smooth. Spread the batter onto a cutout over a silicone baking mat for your chosen tuile shape. Toss chopped pecans with just enough simple syrup to coat and sprinkle over the tuiles. Bake in the preheated oven with a low fan until done. |
