Look at this puff pastry pear tart! Garrett really nailed the puff pastry recipe for The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook. I thought the recipe was excellent, but he wasn’t satisfied, so he tweaked the recipe some more. Look at those beautiful layers- so crisp and delicious!! Tomorrow Garrett teaches me how to make this superb puff!!
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.

Shelley — That is SO beautiful! Have you started a waitlist for the book yet?

Oh no, the pressure! We’re still pretty far from being done with this project- when we do have books, I think there will be plenty for everyone; I don’t think we’ll need a waitlist.
