Today's Special: Le Recipe De Jour

Welcome to the most pretentious, over-the-top, utterly absurd cooking show in all the land! Today's recipe de jour is for the discerning chef who demands nothing but the most avant-garde, the most daring, the most utterly bewildering dish in all the culinary arts.

Le Recipe De Jour:

Le Escargot à la Crème Brûlée

A delicate, snail-shaped pastry filled with a rich, caramelized cream and topped with a sprinkle of edible gold dust, because, you know, one must always dress for the occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen escargots
• 1 cup crème brûlée
• 1 tsp edible gold dust
• 1 pinch of existential dread

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Or, you know, just make it up.
2. Caramelize the crème brûlée until it's nice and golden brown. Or, you know, just use a torch.
3. Place the escargot in a pastry shell and top with the crème brûlée mixture.
4. Top with edible gold dust and serve with a side of angst and despair.

Voilà! You now have the perfect dish for that dinner party your friends will never forget (or remember, depending on the amount of wine you consume).
