New Recipe

March 31, 2008

A friend of mine who was recently in New York was telling me about her journey.  We share a common love of good food (not unusual) and in every one of our conversations this topic inevitably arises.  She was telling me about a restaurant that served, and I quote, “Poached Egg on Polenta with a Stilton Foam”.  Now the only time I’ve seen a foam actually used is on Iron Chef, and finding a foam recipe on the internet was more challenging than I anticipated.  In other words, I couldn’t go straight to Epicurious and type it in.  From what I gather, all you need is cream, required flavor, and a whipped cream canister.  Check on all three counts.  I realize this recipe might be a little bold for my average guest, but I plan on experimenting tomorrow.  I’ve never cooked polenta or made a foam, but I have plenty of experience with poached eggs.  Wish me luck!

 On another note: I also modified the recipe for Bananas Foster Bread Pudding.  You’ll have to go to The Inn’s website to view it, but I think it’s a change for the better.
