Crème brûlée, overrated?


Posted the25/10/2008 By Savory Tv | Delicious chef recipes, videos, and culinary tips (Visit website)




Overrated, too popular, too trendy, so over. Such are the harsh words brought up by creme brulee, or crème brûlée properly written in French.


Au contraire says Savory Tv! Besides the fact that we are hopeless romantics and love this creme brulee screenshot from the film Amelie , here are our reasons:



Creme brulee is a classic, perfect, delicious french dessert. So classic, in fact, that it dates back to the year 1691, when the recipe was first displayed in the cookbook by François Massialot. François was a talented Parisian chef who cooked for several members of the French royal circle. Translated to “burnt cream” in French, creme brulee’s rich vanilla custard contrasts beautifully with it’s crispy caramelized topping, making it a perfect ending for your meal. And here’s the best part, you now have an excuse to buy a Crème Brûlée Torch!


Choose a classic recipe such as this from Canadian Chef Michael Smith, or mix it up with a creative version using butternut squash as shown in this video and recipe by our friend Chef John Mitzewich. Either way your friends will adore you. As they should.
