Ice Cream & Toast...

Sour cream ice cream,grilled brioche,blueberry thyme reduction and fresh thyme.Sour Cream i.c. has been stuck on my mind since having it for the first time a few weeks back.Blueberries cooked down with red wine,sugar, thyme and yuzu make for a floral sweet sauce enough to call this a dessert.Hot and cold textures stimulate a few of the senses.Several ideas have sparked since. Cornbread is next on the list which was the original thought.Flavor is definitely there.Very reminiscent of bagels and cream cheese...

Unagi Ribs?

Unagi in a different light resembling bbq ribs somewhat...Compressed asian pears,grapefruit,radish,basil and kabayaki.

Pork Shank breaised and carmelized with viet flavors...Cherry tomatoes,watermelon & cucumbers all marinated in nam pla.Fried shallots and mint leaves.

Panna Cotta Part 2

Popcorn panna cotta version 2.Different mold,presentation,added compressed strawberries.May have took the base a little too far in the cooking process but needless to say,the flavors came out great and the combination works.Cutting the cord on this one for now.Enjoy!
