Steps:
- To make tempura batter, mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a large bowl and add seltzer in a stream while whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat canola oil to 375 degrees F in a deep fryer. Spread coconut on a utility platter. Place slices of cheese on a slotted spoon and ladle tempura batter over. Deep-fry in the basket of a deep-fryer until golden brown, briefly drain then transfer to the plate of coconut so that the coconut will stick to the surface while the batter is freshly fried and still hot.
- Serve with small skewers or cocktail toothpicks.
CRAB, AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER TIAN WITH GAZPACHO COULIS
Steps:
- In a small bowl, gently fold the crab with the avocado, cucumber, tomato concasse, shallots, chives and lemon juice together. In a larger, separate bowl, fold the mayonnaise with the whipped cream. Using a spatula, fold the crab mixture into the mayonnaise mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place a 3-inch round cookie cutter in the center of a chilled plate. Fill the cookie cutter with the crab salad and remove the cookie cutter. There should be a cylinder of crab salad. Drizzle the Gazpacho Coulis around the crab salad, and garnish with chervil or basil.
- In a food processor, liquefy the tomato, tomato paste and cucumber. Juice the red pepper, garlic, and celery. With the food processor running, add the juice and olive oil to the tomato puree. Season with salt.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to make a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, about 1 minute. Add the cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth.
- Stir the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce. Scrape into a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Bake in the preheated 350 oven, uncovered, until bubbly and lightly golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the extra shredded cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use a good quality camembert cheese. A ripe camembert will have a soft, creamy center and a bloomy rind.
- Make sure the camembert is cold before frying. This will help to prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- Use a light coating of flour on the camembert. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Fry the camembert in a hot skillet until it is golden brown on all sides.
- Serve the camembert immediately with your favorite accompaniments, such as currant coulis, honey, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Fried camembert cheese with currant coulis is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The creamy, flavorful cheese is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tart coulis. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to use up leftover camembert.
