Patrick Decker, who is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and now lives in Ulster County, is one of Rachel Ray's on-air chefs. (Patrick was featured earlier this year in a Hudson Valley Connoisseur magazine article about local folks who knit as a hobby.)

Here's a great new video clip with Rachel preparing a recipe for "Fancy French Cheese Puff Fake-Outs" created by Patrick. Look for him in the video!

I could definitely see using this recipe for get-togethers with friends, and around the holidays. I'd probably use the delicious grated cheese I've found at Leonardo's, an upscale Italian food market in Rhinebeck.
