| Workshop Description | We will focus on some of the common ways that food texture or phase state can be manipulated in interesting ways and take you through the hands-on basic process and popular techniques in “molecular” cuisine, primarily altering appearance and texture of foods. It is taking natural ingredients which are often used in the food industry fused together with everyday ingredients to enhance existing cuisine disciplines and concepts. The natural ingredients are seaweed and other plant extracts & food additives. The end result can be spectacular, unexpected and takes cuisine to another level without too much effort. This workshop gives you the fundamentals to kick start this gastronomy and once the groundwork has been established it opens the doors to countless possibilities which can be applied to classic and new world cooking. Needless to say, the workshop is fun, exciting and a real challenge on one’s taste buds. | |
