yogurt-beet noodles


we were able to take yogurt and gel the outside with beet juice. The exterior is beet gel and the interior is liquid yoghurt.....we served it with fennel pollen, hazelnuts and poached lobster....

Olive Oil Sugar


After seeing a picture of Albert Adria holding an oil encased in sugar, I began wondering how the hell they produced it. We brainstormed for weeks, some of our ideas for producing this was downright hilarious. We finally figured it out, or at least made it work for us. I am still not sure how they produce their oil bonbons but it was rewarding finally getting the results we were looking for. We have begun to brainstorm various other fats that would work with this technique. We were even able to add balsamic vinegar to the olive oil. Endless possibilities are ahead.........
