Book Themed Desserts

Olenna Tyrell’s Caramel Pecan Brie

April 29, 2013

Well, now I’ve gone and done something I said I would never do on the blog. I went to the dark side. The savory side. In my defense, cheese courses straddle the line between sweet and savory and I’ve totally seen them on dessert menus. But, I always think, who chooses cheese over chocolate, cakes, or ice [...]
