  Fish tacos with slaw and pickled onion. Blackened, Riverence steelhead trout, spicy gochujang slaw; house pickled onions; and cilantro. A symphony of flavors!   All of the players (flavors) played very well together to achieve an amazing crescendo of flavors! Thank you Riverence for the great fish to work with.   Thank you OFood for the great gochujang to use with this dish.  As always your questions or comments are welcome. Until next time, Bon Appetit Y'all! Chef Leslie Bartosh #Fishtaco, #spicyslaw, #gochujang, #blackenedfish, #pickledonion, #Riverence, #OFoods,

Pumpkin.   In the USA, pumpkin is somewhat synonymous with Thanksgiving.   It is like two peas in a pod!   Thanksgiving and pumpkin go together! This pumpkin custard with Chantilly cream, tuile and Sterling Valley Maple maple syrup has become one our favorites for Thanksgiving.   It's lighter in flavor and texture than pumpkin pie.   Which, of course, means we can eat more! This pumpkin custard was made with Sterling Valley Maple maple sugar.   The recipe is below.  Also pictured is a pumpkin custard that was left in the mold and treated as creme brûlée. The SVM maple sugar on top formed a nice crispy crust.  Here is the recipe:   Sterling Valley Maple Pumpkin Custard with Tuile Yield:   approximately 10 - 5 oz servings Pumpkin Custard  Ingredients: 1/3 cup SVM maple sugar                             1 t ground cinnamon                                                  1/2 t ground nutmeg                                     1/2 t ground ginger                      

  Pâté de Campagne.   Four flavors of pâté from one base recipe.   Left to right: plain, black peppercorn, pistachio, and green peppercorn.    Each flavor is delightful.   It is nice to have variety!   This is a relatively lean pâté that uses only the naturally occurring fat in the meat. As always, your questions or comments are welcome. Until next time, Bon Appetit Y'all! Chef Leslie Bartosh #Pâté, # Pâté de Campagne, #BlackPeppercorn, #Pistachio, #GreenPeppercorn
