Small Wonders

With consumers embracing the idea of appetizers and searching for value in their restaurant experiences, small plates offer big profit potential. Our recipes this month aren't limited to appetizers, either. You'll also find dessert and breakfast ideas. From Chef Steven Jason of Mythos Restaurant at Universal Studios in Orlando comes the Blueberry Lemon Shooters dessert, and Chef Courtney Parks of City in Washington, DC, offers an all-day dining idea for Cheese and Bacon Scramble Mini-Pitas. Look for small but robust offerings such as Braised Pork Belly in Dashi from Chef Sean O'Brien of Zinnia Restaurant, and Filo Purses Stuffed with Mushrooms and Artichokes from Chef Annie Somerville of Greens Restaurant, both in San Francisco. These and other recipes follow.
