Savor Tonight

Dessert Tasting with Executive Pastry Chef Antonio Bachour

Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta

It’s ok, you can drool — that is, when you step into the world of Chef Antonio Bachour. This dessert extraordinaire is currently the Executive Pastry Chef at J & G Grill at the St. Regis Bal Harbour, but on the side, he’s winning hearts over with gorgeous photographs online of his edible masterpieces, that are as beautiful, as they are delicious.  By doing so, he’s gained nearly 50,000 followers (just on Instagram), who anxiously await for his daily posts — myself included — and you can follow him here (we highly suggest that your do).

OUR OBSESSION: Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta with candied tomatoes, strawberries, honey greek yogurt, sponge cake, berry gel and meringue by Executive Pastry Chef Antonio Bachour

WHY WE LOVE IT: For a dessert that one might call perfection on a plate, this one is spot on — marrying together a variety of flavors and textures with just the right amount of sweetness (ok, that seems to be the way with all of Bachour’s desserts).

WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT: J & G Grille at The St. Regis Bal Harbour, 9703 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour or make it on your own with the recipe from Bachour’s new cookbook, Bachour, Simply Beautiful.

INTERESTING TIDBITS: Bachour will be opening up his own bakery + cafe in Brickell, titled Bachour in 2015. In addition to his fans that follow his photographs, there is one food blogger who is actually baking her way through the book on her blog. So beautiful — and completely worth checking out.

And for some food porn, we present you with our dessert tasting (yes, we were invited in for a tasting — and it surely was a feast to remember.)
