Janes says, "I created this
dish for a light luncheon, while consulting for Conrad’s restaurant, named for
Conrad Hilton, the former owner of the historic landmark hotel where our cooking
school was located. To display them attractively, I make every other cut on an
angle and then arrange the longer angular side of each cut toward the outside
and arrange them in fours, making them look like flowers, especially when
centering each “flower” with a piece of tomato. Also check out Jane Butel's
