Enough with the rants... Time for some FOOD!!

Okay... it has been a slower week at work and I have been able to play around a little more.  Here goes in no particular order.

Here is my take on a tequila shot...
It's a Prosciutto brittle and Grenadine Caviar (yes meat for dessert and no it's not fish eggs), Patron Gellee, Lime Ganache Truffle.  It's a progressive trio tasting. First spoon is the salt, next spoon is the tequila shot, the last is the lime.  At the time of presentation it is interesting to see the people's faces when they are told what it is.



Next up is a play on the classic apple tarte tatin.  Here I used petite anjou pears.  I slow roasted them with caramel in a 250 F oven for about 2 hours.  Hit it with a a puff pastry base and stuffed it with honeyed vanilla mousse (can't see it in the pictures, but trust me it's there!)



Third up to bat is another dessert trio.  Here I have a Deconstructed Tiramisu.  It's a maderia wine genoise, Mascarpone mousse, and esspresso spheres.  Encased in a chocolate tear.  Next to that is a mango, tamarind, and thai basil salad millefeuille. And finally that pink thing on the end is a Strawberry Nuage topped with Champagne Noodles... kinda a take on champagne and strawberries.



hope you all like the eye candy... make sure to follow my blog to keep up with the new things I'm doing and for those special invitations to the tasting we do at work.  I have a Champagne Tasting coming up in the near future paired up with some desserts that i have created.  So 4 Champagnes, and 4 Desserts to match... what else could you want.

Stay sharp!
