Petitpot Now Available in So Cal



I love getting packages,
especially when it's new food items to try.

 It must be something French...

Hence the "Bonjour" reference


 And Yummm!


It's a sampler 
of pot de creme
from Petitpot.

Without going through all of the
details, it's a type of custard.


The lids made it easy to identify.


 On National Vanilla Pudding Day,
this is what I'm celebrating with...



You can see the specks of
Madagascar vanilla beans.

Yes, we had a Petit Pot tasting.

I had the pleasure of a pastry chef joining 
me in the tasting.


Great packaging
in re-usable glass jars.

They're all gluten-free and certified organic by CCOF
(California Certified Organic Farmers)

The Dark Chocolate
was really good and one of
my favorites.

 Made with dark Belgian chocolate,
70% cacao.

 Had a nice dark chocolate finish to it.
Something that was a nice surprise
for a pudding/custard.

The Salted Caramel
had a nice caramel flavor,
but I missed the salt or
too light I didn't taste any.

The Lemon Curd

Lemon is one of my all-time favorites.
Made with organic California lemon juice,
it had a nice lemon tartness.

I wasn't a fan of the texture of this one,
a bit too liquidity for me.
My friend the pastry chef said she has an
idea to use this with a dish she has in mind.

The Strawberry & Cream
was the same consistency.
Good rich strawberry flavor.

When I think of pot de creme,
the Vanilla is the closest to what I know
(in my mind anyway).
Great flavor and texture.


All 5 flavors are great tasting and can
see why they're popular in Northern California.

Now Available 
in selected Southern California
Whole Foods Markets

(Arroyo, Brea, Jamboree, Fairfax, El Segundo,
Playa Vista, Venice, Downtown LA, Glendale, 
La Jolla, and Irvine)


 Petitpot also sent me some 
of their cookies.

 BTW, they went great with the pot de creme.

Great idea,
inside of the cookie boxes.

Merci
Petitpot




NOTE:  I was invited to sample these products.
I thank Petitpot for the sample tasting.

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon  $5.00

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
