I've been wanting a vegetable sheeter for a long time, and I finally bit the bullet.

My new baby

It arrives next week. I'm excited to try Frédéric Bau's "Parfait au caramel épicé, paillassons et lasagne de pommes Granny Smith, ambre de cidre" or, in English "Spicy caramel parfait, Granny Smith apple tangles and lasagne with cider amber." I'm hoping it turns out as interesting and well as I think it will. I'd like to serve this for a party this Christmas.

That website is downright dangerous.

To say the least...

When I lived in NY I went there often...rarely left without dropping a few bills.

Amy, I want to share your kitchen.

C'mon, you can just do it with a knife! I've seen Japanese chefs do it on YouTube.

Seriously, though, that is way cool.

I'm in love.

With the holiday, I didn't get a chance to take this puppy for a test spin until this morning. I used the softest veggie/fruit I had on hand...an apple. A long, translucent sheet of apple is what I got. Way cool.

I just poached the sheets in a light simple syrup flavored with star anise.

I'm thinking to try a terrine of apple, SV butternut squash, SV celery root (all done on the sheeter), with goat cheese, thyme (or tarragon) and some kind of pecan topping. (Lots of layers that melt in your mouth is my goal.) The topping needs to have some liquid, but I'm not digging the idea of something sweet, e.g., maple. I want more flavor contrast, and perhaps a bit of heat.

Suggestions?

Amy

I first thought about a thai sweet chili sauce, but I don't think that's right. Then what came to mind is candied bacon (or bacon jam) or a confit of sweet onions, or cloves.
And I too want to share your kitchen. Or just move in.

Hey, I just have more time on my hands to think about these things because that's my job. I even dream about food and recipes.

I have some Pastis I've not used in ages, and I do like it. Must noodle the idea...
