Under Pressure


Inspired by a few conversations with Alex Talbot about how pressure affects food and what a great tool it is, we began to brainstorm tools that would help us achieve our goals....We discussed building new pieces of equipment and talked about everything from food marinators to isi chargers. Yesterday we pressurized scallops with foie gras broth and the results were incredible.

Crispy Sheets of Foie Gras



To achieve this texture we used Ultra Tex 3 and a dehydrator.

Slammed





Fun,Fun,Fun


This dish was inspired by the tasty and classic bacon wrapped shrimp..........We slow cook the shrimp and serve it with a serrano ham consomme and fennel.....Thinking about adding a drizzle of 50 year balsamic????

Activa





We discovered activa a couple of years ago and have used it on a daily basis ever since......
It allows us to restructure things so that we can have more control over the cooking process.....Here we were concerned about the thickness of the halibut we have been recieving.....it was rather thin and was very easy to overcook. We simply dusted the skin side with activa and folded it over.....now it is twice as thick and will cook more evenly.....
