Evolution of a Dish, Part Two

Previous- http://pckeith.tumblr.com/post/10984339907/evolution1

Step 5 was the first attempt at making the dish.

Step 6) Throw out everything you did in the first attempt. it was probably no good.

-not happy with the semifreddo. not enough flavor, didn’t highlight the toffee.

-tuile was ok, not modern enough

Step 7) Review, Research, Refine (come up with some new ideas based on what worked and what didn’t.) Remember to check places like Ideas in Food for inspiration! Reference books such as Larousse Gastronomique are invaluable for researching food.

-need a better application for the toffee. Dark Chocolate and Toffee mousse filled with orange compote?

-keep the tuile, for now

-learn how to glaze with ganache to enhance the presentation

Step 8) Keep cooking until something “Pops”

Attempt #2

Dark Chocolate and Toffee Mousse, Orange Compote, Almond Tuile
