This process will ensure that the pears poach beautifully to their center and will avoid overpoached, mushy pears. Either serve or go on to roast them. Place the pears on a roasting pan or glass pan.

Reduce the poaching liquid over high heat until it achieves a light, syrupy consistency. Pour the reduced poaching syrup over the pears while it is hot. Place the pears in the oven and roast for 7 to 12 minutes, basting with the syrup every few minutes to ensure nicely coated, glossy, and gorgeous pears.

Makes 3 to 5 whole poached pears. I love tea! It is the king of teas. It harnesses the dark, bitter flavors of a great black tea, while the bergamot oil that gives Earl Grey its distinct flavor imparts the fruity and citrusy notes that make this tea so complex and wonderful. What happens when you marry this lovely flavor with the complexities of dark and milk chocolate and butter?

I created these truffles to answer that question. The basic truffle recipe is just a ganache that has butter added to it, and it can be infused with various flavors. I invite you to experience the divine. In a large stainless-steel or glass bowl, melt the chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water.

Keep warm. In a medium stainless-steel or enamel-coated saucepan, over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Whisk the tea leaves into the hot cream. Remove from the heat. Cover the saucepan and let steep for 7 to 8 minutes. Strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth and discard the tea leaves. Add more fresh heavy cream to bring it back to the original volume the tea leaves will have soaked some up.

Clean out the saucepan to remove any leftover tea leaves. Return the strained cream to the clean saucepan, add the corn syrup, and bring it back to a boil. Pour half of the infused cream over the melted chocolate and begin to emulsify with a rubber spatula.

Stir quickly at first to begin the emulsification process. Pour in the remainder of the cream and continue mixing to emulsify the mixture. Finish by mixing with a handheld blender to obtain a silky emulsion. Add the butter to the ganache. Place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ganache to prevent a skin from forming. Keep at room temperature overnight to cool and crystallize.

The ganache can be made in advance and held in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. When ready to create the truffles, take the ganache out of the refrigerator 2 to 3 hours before using and set it on the countertop to allow it to come to room temperature. Sift the cocoa powder into a large, shallow bowl; line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll each ball in your hands powder-free latex gloves work great for this process until rounded and truffle shaped.

Pile the truffles in a glass bowl and enjoy. The truffles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Roll in fresh cocoa powder before serving. Makes 50 truffles. Keep this fact in mind when forming the balls; it is okay if they are oddly shaped and a little lumpy.

One thing I realized with Top Chef is that all these hopes and dreams, they not only take a lot of work and effort, they take a lot of patience because they take time to realize. You always have the option to do something quick and easy that has the potential to be profitable.

But to have integrity, to really do what you want, and to believe in it? That takes time. Thanks to the Top Chef win, I do a lot of public speaking, and I realize you have to push people to really follow their dream.

I know people say it all the time, but it's like that saying: if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. I work 18, 20 hours a day, and I literally won't take a day off for months at a time. Every now and then I'll stop and say, "You know, I think I should take a day off.

I wish I could do something else" because I'm literally living my passion. And that's huge. YP: My mom absolutely has come around. Now she thinks all this is her creation, which is kind of funny. Follow Pura on Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter. And visit Tout Sweet online.
