Chef's Note
About camembert…
No one can resist touching the fine white down on the surface of a camembert, so strangely similar to a mushroom cap. Personally I like the mild mushroom flavor and nutty aroma characteristic of ripe camembert.

About my recipe…
Why not use camembert in a tart? It's another way to enjoy this cheese, whose roundness evokes a little cake.
