"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The word “bonbon” comes from the French “bon,” meaning good. Typically, they are sweet chocolaty morsels that melt in your mouth. However, this cheese bonbon recipe is savory rather than sweet, with cheese, flour, pecans, and butter being the main ingredients. Cheese bonbons are great to take to a potluck or served as an hors d’œuvre.
