Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar,
syrup and shallot, add the oils in a stream, whisking, and whisk the
vinaigrette until it is emulsified. Season the vinaigrette with salt
and pepper. Make the candied walnuts: In a saucepan simmer the walnuts
in water to cover for 5 minutes, or until they are softened slightly,
drain them, and transfer them to a paper towel to dry completely. In a
bowl stir together the walnuts and the sugar. In a heavy kettle heat 3
inches of the oil to 350 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer and in it
fry the walnuts in batches for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are brown
and crisp. Transfer the walnuts as they are fried with a slotted spoon
to a baking sheet and season them with the salt and cayenne. In a
large bowl, toss the frisee with the dates and enough of the
vinaigrette to just coat the salad, rserving any remaining vinaigrette
for another use. Divide the salad among 6 plates, mounding it in the
center, divide the cheeses and the bread around it, and sprinkle the
salads with the walnuts and the herbs. Yield: 6 servings Converted by
