Blame It On The Intern
I got a call from the New York Post asking me how I felt about being one of the chefs whose recipes were reproduced on the McCain web site without my permission. It was my Passion Fruit Mousse with Caramelized Bananas on top, using a blow torch to caramelize the sugar. I love passion fruit but it's not really readily available and my family doesn't even cook with it. Why would hers? I have a blow torch in my home, but I'm a professional pastry chef and have a degree in silver and gold smithing so it makes sense for me. But Cindy McCain? Why didn't she at least choose something a little more American and homey to steal?
