As you would expect, the food scene in Paris is unbelievable. Yet to my surprise, one of the most innovative dishes I've tried here -- Speculoos Gnocchi -- was not at a fancy restaurant, but rather via a French food blogger! 

Clotilde, of the website ChocolateAndZucchini.com, shared with me her recipe for Speculoos Gnocchi and I was immediately struck by how simple, inventive, and downright fun it is. 

And for my partnership of videos with Food & Wine's website FWx, I did a video to feature this fun dish!

In case you're not familiar with speculoos, they are spiced shortcrust biscuits (I think of them as little crisp cookies) and they are all the rage in Europe. They have also become popular in the United States as a cookie butter spread, which even Trader Joe's has begun mass producing. It is so delicious that it rivals Nutella as my favorite, and addicting!, sweet treat spread. 

Clotilde is French, so it's no wonder she gravitated toward re-inventing how speculoos can be eaten. For this recipe, she uses its original form, the cookie, and smashes it until its finely ground to be used as the base of the dough. And just like that, the unlikely combination of speculoos and gnocchi was born! There are several really fun things about her dish. Among them, my favorite is her transformation of gnocchi into a dessert! Gnocchi is one of my favorite dishes ... but I usually prepare it with proscuitto and spring peas, or tomatoes and basil. Reimagining it as a sweet dish is not only experimental, it's delicious. I hope you like the video and enjoy the dish!
