What’s “The Platter”?
The Blooming Platter offers a growing collection of recipes for creative appetizers, beverages, snacks, soups, salads, sides and entrees with a tendency toward ethnic fusion dishes, lightened-up comfort foods and updated classics with a twist. A baker since childhood, I also include a burgeoning selection of dessert recipes that will tempt even the staunchest dairy-lover. Here's to compassionate plant-based cooking and eating!

-Design in its many forms, especially interiors and landscapes
Did someone say mid-century modern?

I'm so glad! It's really such a great treat in that it feels far more decadent than it is. It "sits" very light considering that it's really just a half an apple, a very few nuts and ultra thin crispy and flaky phyllo. Enjoy!

We've been having cold, damp rainy weather here and they are the perfect anecdote. I hope you will try them and enjoy as much as I enjoyed creating and sharing them.

Hi Betsy: This recipe sounds awesome. But where can I find Phyllo in the Hampton Roads area? Thanks.
