Whether you call it Chestnut Spread, Chestnut Jam, or Chestnut Puree, one thing remains the same: it is delicious. When talking about Chestnut Spread, one cannot skip talking about Clement Faugier, the master innovator of this sweet, nutty treat.

I always crave for chestnut, especially roasted chestnut. However, chestnut spread is new to me. I have to give it a try. I also noticed that the bowl in the picture is the same as the one I have at home!
