  • About
A classic dessert, largely because a good pear is one of the great fruits, and it takes so well to cooking—its flavor becomes more intense, its texture even creamier than when eaten out of hand.

And pears go so well with other flavors. We take poached pears to the limit, beginning with vanilla and moving on to chocolate. Then we poach a pear with Asian spices, something Jean-Georges made popular years ago. A red wine caramel makes a splendid finish to another dessert, and finally, we stuff the pears with a classic praline before poaching.
