pinwheels with prosciutto

This is a palmier. It’s usually a sweet cookie, made from puff pastry and rolled into a tight log, then cut into these cookies that look like large ears.

This, however, is a savory palmier. A palmier with honey mustard, fresh sage, Parmesan, black pepper, and prosciutto.

(And technically, since it’s not sugary, this is called a pinwheel, not a palmier.)

Our toddler certainly enjoyed them. Moreover, these were made with gluten-free puff pastry, a recipe I spent months developing. You? Gluten eaters? All you need is some frozen pastry dough from the store.

Would you like one?

You would? Then you need to buy a copy of The Newlywed Kitchen: Delicious Meals for Couples Cooking Together.

One of the authors of this book is a good friend of ours, so you might think we’re biased. We probably are. (In fact, I wrote about that here, extensively.) However, part of the reason we are such good friends with Ms. Lorna Yee is that she loves to eat and talk about food as much as we do. And oh boy, is she ever a pork enthusiast.

So we can recommend this book to you, enthusiastically, without any hesitation. Everything in it is great. But look at the pork recipes alone:
