Chiboust




The caption on this picture is "Chiboust".  According to Wikipedia.com "Crème Chiboust is a crème pâtissière (pastry cream) lightened with whipped cream or stiffly beaten egg whites.
Crème Chiboust can be flavoured with vanillaorange zest, or liqueurs. Mixed with fruit, it becomes crème plombières.
It was supposedly created and developed by the pastry Chef M. Chiboust of the pastry shop that was located on the Paris street Rue Saint-Honoré.
If gelatin is bloomed and incorporated to the Chiboust or Plombieres, it can be used as a Bavarian. The Chiboust or the Plombieres can also double as Souffle filling, as long as egg whites are the base; the mix will "puff up" and provide a creamy Souffle."

I just thought it looked pretty and tasty.  Here is a link to a site that shows how it is made.http://www.pastrychefonline.com/Chiboust_Cream.html  It looks kind of complicated so I am just going to enjoy the picture for now...unless someone wants to make it for me ;)

Welcome

Everyone has heard of a bucket list.  The list of things you want to do before you err...kick the bucket.  Well, this is my food bucket list.  These are foods I want to taste or cook or both, before I kick the bucket.  Whether or not I do, that remains to be seen. If I do, I will post pictures and a review. Inspired by Pinterest, there are so many foods out there that we should all taste just once.
