We went to our friends' house for dinner last night. They had just moved into their new house last month, and we were their first guests. We brought them a bottle of yummy Veuve as a housewarming gift so they could celebrate. In their beautiful new gourmet kitchen, they cooked up a storm. First we snacked on a baked brie with apples and bread while sipping Gewurztraminer. We then moved on to a delicious meal of vegetable risotto, baked salmon, and a spinach salad, paired with a yummy, jammy La Crema Pinot Noir.
I had been staring at the dessert all night. My friend had baked a pear tart that had turned out beautifully, and it had been sitting on the counter since we arrived. When we finally finished our meal, I was stuffed, but I couldn't pass up the tart - it was so good. We cracked open a bottle of Muscat to go with.
The original Epicurious recipe called for hazelnuts, but when she couldn't find them in the store she substituted almonds. I think it turned out so well that I just might do the same!
