My
newest release, Dinner For Two, is set in restaurant and food plays a
pivotal role in bringing the two MC, Sonia and Tony, together. Since
the holidays are almost upon us, I thought I’d share an easy recipe
that not only looks pretty when served, but tastes heavenly. I know
both Tony and Sonia would approve! Hope you enjoy it

Baked
Brie
Ingredients:
Wheel
of brie – triple works best, but double works fine too)
Canister
of crescent rolls OR a package of Phyllo dough
1/3
cup of chopped pecans
¼
cup Craisins
¼
cup honey
1
Tbsp dried rosemary
*
Egg Wash (egg and 2 Tbsp of water whisked together) – if using
Phyllo Dough
Directions:
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine
pecans, Craisins, honey and rosemary in a small bowl. Unroll crescent
rolls and flatten (pinch perforations together to avoid holes) to
make a “sheet” OR unroll several sheets of the phyllo dough. Set
dough aside.
Scoop
mixture over top of brie in the center, careful not to go over the
sides. Drape crescent rolls or phyllo dough over the brie then flip
it over and seal/pinch to completely cover the wheel. Flip it back
over and set on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. If using the
phyllo dough, brush the top with the egg wash to help the brie bake
more evenly and create a shiny golden color.
Bake
at 375 for about 15 minutes, then serve with fancy crackers or sliced
apples. Enjoy!

Sonia
Davenport has dreams of coordinating and planning special events.
When she’s given the opportunity to plan a dinner for her boss and
his shareholders, she jumps at the chance to make everything perfect.
Helping her plan the special night is the head chef of the
restaurant, Tony Mancinni, who is not only charming but goes out of
his way to make Sonia feel special during the entire planning
process.
The
dinner party almost turns disastrous when an employee mixes up the
orders and sets out the wrong food. In a mad rush to save the dinner,
Sonia and Tony realize their attraction to each other when things
heat up in the kitchen. However, Tony has to convince Sonia that he
wants more than just an extra set of hands in his restaurant – he
wants her to stay the night so he can convince her to stay for good.
