Life is short. Eat dessert first!

Whether I'm creating specialty cupcakes for a baby shower, making hundreds of mini desserts for a Yelp event, or simply baking some cookies for friends - I absoloutely adore desserts!  Sugar? Yes! Flour? Oh yeh! Chocolate? Gimme, gimme! 

Pastries Not Potatoes is not only a blog, but my tiny little dessert only catering company as well.  I've been in the food business for more than ten years and I can't think of anything better than to share my love of food with not only Chicago, but the world!

    Not Quite What I Was Looking For...

    DateMonday, October 6, 2008 at 05:30PM

    Over the weekend I was at work, putting together the lunch desserts for Rick Bayless.  A couple times of year we cater for him and a film crew when they are in production for Mexico:One Plate at a Time. 

    Saturday's menu was asian inspired, and because there are not many desserts that are often associated with this culture I hit up Google for some cookie ideas.  Outside of a fortune cookie, I was really just looking for flavors that I could put together to create a cookie recipe for.  Sounds like an easy task...

    Needless to say I was a bit surprised when I Googled the phrase "asian cookie recipes".  Please note that clicking on this link will take you to the Google search page - but if I were you, I wouldn't check anything out beyond the first four recommended sites.  Especially if you are at work, or in a room with small children.  You've been warned!
