Chef Tom – Cherries! Food and Music!
It’s cherry season. There are thousands and thousands of recipes. There are tons of nutrients and health benefits with this jewel of the stone fruits.
Cherries
According to The Flavor Bible, my most read cookbook in my 100+ collection, two unlikely flavors work really well together: cherry and coffee. Who knew. My fellow chef Stanley Lui made a killer cherry jam with a hint of coffee in it that was heaven on a biscuit.
Here are some amazing dishes from some of my favorite recipe sources:
