There is nothing down-home about Stewart's demonstrations, however. Her trendy chocolate truffles are decorated with pure -- therefore edible -- 24- karat gold leaf. Presentation is critical, whether it consists of sage leaves inserted under turkey skin "in the design of your choice" or "botanically correct" pastry leaves on a sweet-potato or pumpkin pie. Few details escape her attention, as when she insists on freshly ground white pepper in salmon and scallop timbales: "If you put black pepper in, people will see the big flakes and won't know exactly what it is."
