Why blog? I really don't know. Memories? Thought? Vanity? I think I started this as a personal sounding board and log of past successes and failures. Not to mention future experiments.

"Land and Sea"


I call this "Land and Sea" simply because it looks like a fish washed ashore, also because it is salmon paired with some very earthy flavors. It has some salt roasted candy stripped beets, asparagus in two forms, simply cooked in some burre monte and fried strips, also I have some maple "sea" foam and maple granola "beach sand". I then garnished it with a perfect salmon skin crisp! I really love this dish, it might could use some tweeking but the texture and presentation I enjoy.

S'mores!

This has house made marshmellows, graham crackers, graham cracker flan, soft chocolate ganache and graham dust. The marshmellow is bruleed and the flan is smoked under glass for that campfire appeal!
