Chicken Saltimbocca Bites
These Chicken Saltimbocca Bites deliver flavor and will leave quite an impression on your guests!
Combine the comfort of pasta, and the creaminess from a chicken and white wine sauce, top that with salty prosciutto, crispy spinach, and melted gruyere, and you will have a one-bite appetizer that is impressive on the palette and eyes!
The Pasta Tweezer Tong
The pasta tweezer tong is one of my newer kitchen gadgets. I love the art of plating to make every meal special, as long as the food tastes phenomenal! It’s fun to make pasta dishes and appetizers with this gadget. It makes the past look pretty!
Don’t get me wrong. I still love my spaghetti in a wide bowl smothered in Bolognese sauce. Yet there are certain dishes like a fancy shrimp scampi that deserve a rolled pasta.

De Froid Tip: Food Arrangement
Set your spoons in a row across a long countertop. I did this with my salt block strawberries for my summer tasting party this year. As a result, you will visually increase the WOW factor. Then watch your guests line up for the tasting experience. Unquestionably you will create a memorable WOW moment for your guests!
Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
