Puff Pastry

Living in France has given me the opportunity to work with puff pastry dough. I was always intimidated by the dough in the United States because it was frozen. Also, all the cooking shows I watched had specific guidelines with which to handle it. I never braved it until I came here.

It turns out to be an amazing help when creating appetizers. I have shared a salmon roll recipe with you. The other favorite of mine is the cheese sticks. Ingredients include: puff pastry, gruyere, parmesan cheese, thyme, salt and pepper. It is relatively easy and one can also make "cheese rolls" which are equally as tasty as the "cheese sticks."

I am excited to be brave in the States and try the puff pastry there.
