couture cuisine

We are loving fall fruits.  Apples & pears are fresh and ready to eat, and we just can’t get enough of them!  Couture Cuisine has many scrumptious ways to use fall’s bounty.  We love the classic butternut squash & apple soup – a warm, familiar, and comforting start to a meal.

Chef often pairs local stone fruits with perfectly cooked meats, adding an unexpected sweet element to a savoury dish.  Our favourites include magret of duck breast with caramelized Niagara peaches and pork roast with apricot and mustard stuffing. 

Naturally, late summer and fall fruits are perfect for desserts.  Beyond the favourites on our dessert menu, which include classic apple tart tatin with Armagnac crème fraîche or a mulled wine poached pear served with white chocolate sauce, we love to customize desserts to suit our clients’ palates.  Recently we worked with a client to create a sweet-spicy dessert: niagara peach crostata with ginger ice cream.  The 30 guests she had welcomed to her home found it to be the perfect end to dinner.
