Beet Curing Salmon

Admittedly not the best picture, but under the plastic, wrapped in plastic is a nice test piece of wild salmon wrapped in beet and horseradish curing salt w/ sugar. See you in a few days salmon...

Beet Cake : Phase 1


First attempt at the beet cake recipe I'm working on. It tastes real good but definatly needs tweeking and some flurishes.

Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Beet Shell

This is goat cheese cheesecake that has been whipped and piped to resemble baby beets. They will later be covered with a beet croquant outer shell... Below is the powder for the beet croquant.


I didn't get the picture of the final product, I couldn't wait to crack it open an see & taste theoutcome. Plan to make more soon, more refined.

Bedside "Library"

It dawned on me the other day, perhaps these are what are causing my sleepless nights. My bedside table making me feel unrested and slightly obsessed. Not to mention what books I keep hidden in my closet in a steady rotation to the bedside. Hell, you try to get good sleep when you doze off with an elBulli book on your chest slowly crushing you to submission

Tuna Pastrami on Rye

Here I made some tuna pastrami, which I cured in pastrami spice overnight then seared and very thinly sliced. Under that I placed a rye cracker I made by rolling out fresh rye bread cutting and baking, along with it I put a housemade pickle, pommery mustard and fingerling potato chips!
