Amuse:

- smoked sable fish with parsnip, parsnip veloute, smoked eel with parsnip.

The amuse was very well executed, although I was a little surprised to see two kinds of smoked fish in a parsnip-themed pre-appetizer. The taste of both fish-parsnip bites was very complex, but my favorite was, without any doubt, the veloute - texture was picture perfect, it was rich, but not greasy or even buttery, seasoning was exceptional, although not at all aggressive. Delightful.

sorry, this is a real.

I panfried the heads and legs of some tiger prawns, with some garlic and salt. Then blizzed it, added chickenbroth and some shaoxing wine. Sieved it, served with some fresh coriander. It was just an improvised experiment, never used the heads before, but it wasn't bad, not bad at all.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns carrot and radish; "beet burger," and pancetta-wrapped asparagus with toasted sesame shell.

Notes: This was an easier way to photograph all of these pre-meal nibbles. These were all great, particularly the "beet burger."
