| Food and Wine's milk chocolate tart with pretzel crust a la Marly |
Now that this blog's grad school hiatus is officially over, I can tell you about one of my all-time favorite pleasures. It is the taste of salty and sweet on the palate, and here are just a few of the ways to enjoy this:
- the Canadian tradition of dipping bacon into maple syrup
- a cheese plate with wine and some salty & sweet accoutrements
- adding plain M&Ms to movie theater popcorn (some prefer M&M peanut)
- the trend of adding salt to caramel and other desserts: 1) here is a recipe for a caramel sea salt tart from Saveur magazine in 2009; 2) you can buy bittersweet sea salt chocolate chip cookies online now from Saint Cupcake in Portland, and you should! One of the best cookies I ever tasted.
