Happy Labor Day! To celebrate the holiday, we have a bonus Word of the Week.
Amuse-Bouche (uh-MYUZ-boosh) – noun
A small, single bite, similar to an hors d’œuvre. It is usually given as a freebie before a meal, a preview of the chef’s vision or cooking style, offered at their discretion. It is not on the menu. In French, it translates literally to “mouth amuser.”
Present your own Amuse-Bouche in a serving plate like SEPP by Atomare Design. SEPP is a submission in our Farm to Table project.
This unusual serving can be freely divided into smaller or larger compartments to accommodate the dish.
Like this serving plate? Vote here to see in it Dillard’s stores in Spring 2013. You can also check out and vote on other creative submissions.
By the very nature of Amuse-Bouche, it can be whatever your palate imagines. For inspiration, you can view some of Southern Living’s “bites” ’ here.
Now, go create some Amuse-Bouche (or use it in a sentence) and make us proud!
