So we were sitting in the bar, and a young woman entered and remarked, ”Oh you get to taste your own food?” Chef turns, with all three of us sitting in whites and says “Of course.” I was reminded of how important it is, as a chef, to taste your food! We were sitting at the bar of course because today was my tasting at the restaurant with Chef Pascal. It went extremely well. The Funnel Cakes, pictured here in the final presentation, looked beautiful. I only wish Keri was there to take the picture.
Replate!

I did some refining to the funnel cake concept. One reason is I knew I could get in cleaner, and another is that as much as I love stinky cheese, tallegio mousse is just gross. So I went with a butternilk custard instead, and it turned out quite nicely. Getting there!! Keri’s picture is practically edible.

Just did 12 hours in the test kitchen…and when I saw this ominous symbol rise from the bottom of the fryer, I knew it was time to pay…
Remember the County Fair?

With this dessert I was trying to capture all the fun and excitement of a hot summer day at the carnival. Funnel cakes with a blueberry tallegio mousse, lemon tuile, mango sorbet, and mascerated blueberries. I think I’ll use a watermelon sorbet in the final presentation. Isn’t that a beautiful picture? It was taken by my sister in-law Keri. Check out her other pictures.
