O.k.

But I'll try to simplify my answers:

You gave me 5 flavors, vanilla, hazelnut, almond, macadamia and chocolate. With each one of those flavors provided I have butter, flour, eggs, sugar, cream cheese, heavy cream I could make each flavor into a:

cheesecake
frosting
cake
tart
cookie
candy
pie
custard
creme brulee
layered torte
semi freddo
ice cream
danish
coffee cake
muffins

I'll stop there.

Then I have fruit too, with each I could make:

a coulis to flavor any of my above items
fruit leather to garnish
sugared
dipped in chocolate
slice and put fresh on any above item
sorbet
ice cream
semi-freddo
panna cotta
triffle
mousse
bavarian

etc...

But then I can list so many specific items with-in each catagory....that it's a cook book or two.

I need a more narrowed challenge, or I just don't understand? For instance you narrowed down your meat options. Flour, butter, sugar, eggs makes everything (close)!

First thing I thought of is a vegetables ragout to be served over gnocchi. Or miniature stuffed cabbage. If made with Savoie cabbage it is truly amazing. With salmon it's fantastic.


For dessert just because of the chestnuts a mont blanc or the amazing clementines chocolate tart.
