in the kitchen x pear & blue cheese
Sometimes I can't decide on having cheese or dessert after a meal. I just want both. This dessert/cheese hybrid satisfies both cravings. The pears are poached in lemon rose geranium (a highly floral and beautiful herb), sugar, vanilla, and water. After they are poached, crumbled spanish blue is placed on top. It's drier, more crumbly, and stronger than other varieties I am used to eating, and I love how it stands up to the natural sweetness of fruit. 100% maple syrup is drizzled on top, nasturtium added because of their peppery and fresh note, and fresh pomegranate seeds added.
