Edible Vancouver Island Fall 2022

“Pain Perdu has a perfectly crispy outside with a fluffy custardy inside, and pears and sunchokes are the perfect complement to this delectable fall dish. Sunchokes have a lovely earthy flavour that can be changed significantly from raw to roasted. They also have a lovely savoury note to contrast with the sweetness of this dessert. Additionally, pears are a great canvas for other flavours as they easily absorb spices, alcohols, sugars and whatever else you want to incorporate into the dish. A perfectly poached pear has an amazing, melt-in-your-mouth texture.” Recipe serves 2 (with leftover brioche). Recipe by Chef Tracie Zahavich of Fox + Monocle. Photo by Janis Jean.
