pork n scallop

This is a dinner i cooked for my family, who were visiting from the northwest,  It was a pleasure to cook for them and show them some of my work.

Pork loin, scallop, baby eggplant glazed in the juice from roasted beef, pickled zucchini, radish, pumpkin seeds.

Bubble gum

Bubble gum, coconut, black sesame.

This sounds a little strange but I assure you this combination works, It started with the bubble gum and what flavors do I think of when I chew it, for me I get coconut, passion fruit, strawberry etc.  So coconut seemed like a good candidate, then my first choice was corn for the sponge cake, which may work well also, But, I felt black sesame would do a better job contributing to the whole dish.

Bubble gum meringue and pudding, coconut ice cream, black sesame sponge.

Caramelized White chocolate

Carmalized white chocolate ganache, compressed strawberry, marcona almond in 3 forms: whole, shaved, bubbles, Strawberry sorbet, wasabi.

72 hr. Short Rib

This is beef short rib cook sous vide for 72hr. in a infused milk, the results were very surprising, the meat came out almost cured, bright pink and almost faintly tasting of pastrami, which is never a bad thing.   The dish is supposed to include things associated with cows, milk and corn in this case.

Beef short rib, corn puree and corn husk ash, pickled corn silk, corn powder, nasturtium, red sorrel, freeze dried pea, pecan, micro beet.
