Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Spinach Jalousie
This wasn't quite as much a plated dessert as it was a plated appetizer or perhaps a light main course. It was a spinach, onion, and mushroom jalousie served warm with chive béchamel and fresh chives. Yum! A jalousie, by the way, is basically a puff pastry tart that is typically filled with stripes of almond cream and raspberry jam--we made that version a while ago. Savory versions are quite common too, apparently, as the puff pastry lends itself to both sweet and savory fillings equally well.
