I’ve never really been into “cutesy” things. I’m not one to redecorate my house in themes for every holiday. And, I never wear sweaters with Rudolph, Cupid or the Easter Bunny plastered across my chest. Whether it be home décor, fashion or food, I tend to prefer uncluttered, elegant and clean lines. That’s just me. Take Valentine’s Day, for instance. Where is it written that every food served has to be bedazzled in pink or red? I mean, it’s fine if a food actually is supposed to be pink or red. Otherwise, I prefer my Valentine treats straight up – hold the gimmicks? Besides, a great recipe made with good quality ingredients speaks for itself – like these divine white and dark chocolate Pots de Crème.
