Dining With Duncan

Eating Fashionably is possible because we make that extra effort to prepare a meal which is not only nutritional and tasteful, but which is also a special experience. If we take the extra time to arrange our food, to add a garnish, or to create a dish not available to us, then we have not only made a meal, we have orchestrated it. The meal becomes not only the lonesome sound of the solo violin, it vibrates throughout the cello, the kettle drums, the coronet, and the flute. It transforms into a symphony of food, a piano concerto played on the palate.

With that in mind, here are some ideas that will change the boring one-note whistle of cream cheese into an exciting chord of yumminess.

Try:
Banana Cream Cheese (made with banana mush)
Crunchy Cream Cheese (made with grape nuts or rice krispies)
Apple Butter Cream Cheese
Honey Cream Cheese
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese
Spicy Cream Cheese (made with oregano, basil, or any other spice)
Log Cabin Cream Cheese (made with maple syrup)

Let your imagination go WILD!

Passion! Love! Art! Food!
