Spectacularly Delicious
http://www.spectacularlydelicious.com/
Spectacularly Delicious is an ever increasing collection of show-stopping recipes and culinary presentations that will amaze and astound. This is not for the novice nor the faint of heart. If you relish the idea of bringing to the table a beautiful and unique masterpiece you will find inspiration and instruction here.
I love a recipe with a proper name, that uses specialized equipment, is visually stunning and of course delicious. When you set aside the time to prepare something as special as a Spectacularly Delicious recipe, your friends will appreciate the creativity and care you took to make something so enjoyable. The concept of dinner as theater need not be limited to restaurants.
Home canning, charcuterie and foraging are also a big part of the Spectacularly Delicious lifestyle. And there's always a good story behind the recipe
