A little love letter
Dear café de paris butter,
Who decided that butter needed curry powder in it? Whoever it was, I would like to thank them. You are soft butter with half a spice drawer folded in: parsley, dill, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, a little paprika, garlic, and that curry note nobody can quite place.
You do your best work on something hot. A steak resting on the board, a slice of you on top, slowly sliding down the sides and pooling into the juices. Or just spread thick on warm bread while everything else is still cooking.
I like having you in the fridge the way some people like having a spare key. You never ask for attention. But the day I need you, nothing else will do.
Let’s make this piece of happinessxo, Kimberly

Café de Paris Butter
Soft butter with herbs, spices, curry and a little garlic, the classic for steak. Ten minutes of stirring, then it sits in the fridge until something comes off the grill.
Hi, I’m Kimberly. The kitchen is my happy place, and everything that turns out really good there ends up here. Including the little tricks I’d usually only tell my friends. more about me
mix the butter
Let the butter come to room temperature. Mix butter and all herbs and spices together in a bowl. Mix everything well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Roll the butter in parchment paper or place it in a bowl.Pairings
How long does Café de Paris butter keep?
What do I eat it with?
Why won’t the spices mix in evenly?
How do I get neat butter slices?
