This week I was traveling for work in LA, and I was fortunate enough to enjoy dinner at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant at the Hotel Bel Air. Dinner was amazing: a fixed price menu equipped with amuse bouches, homemade bread, and a three course meal. I'm sorry to say I didn't take any pictures of the food (my heart hasn't been in the blogging mood for a while), but this one snapshot may have inspired me to come back! If you can't tell, the chef himself greeted us during our meal, and I was speechless! I was grinning ear to ear in awe of him coming to chat with us. Everything inside me was dying to say "I love you!" "I have your cookware at home!". Thankfully, I kept my mouth shut. :)
I'm hidden here, but he's looking at me! :)
Needless to say, the one of the amuse bouches from the evening inspired me to create my own. Here I've put together a fig, olive oil, pepper, prosciutto, and a candied walnut. There's a lot of flavors all wrapped up in one. Try it for yourself!
