This is no ordinary yolk!

Yesterday I spent 3 hours preparing a dessert for this evening's company. At one point, I was so fascinated by the vanilla making patterns in the cream around the yolk, that I grabbed my camera and stuck the lens into my cuisinart . . . true to form, I continued painting long after the Pear Tart had been served and devoured!

I've published my article for making bread on my webzine EpicureanPiranha.com. It's for oatmeal bread, but the technique applies to making any bread the traditional way.

“Manhattan Chowder”

San Marzano tomato, mussels, shrimp, bacon, potato.

 

Notes: This soup was immensely complex ; it had a spiciness (not heat) to it that I couldn't explain from the ingredients (cinnamony/nutmeg). I especially appreciated that the soup, which was more velvety than thick, was hotter than I expected. Thicker soups seem to need to be hotter than broth soups in order to be satisfying. I can imagine this would be just great with a toasted, crusty bread with bubbly melted cheese.

I like to group these books together because they're all such critically important people in the food world: Julia Child, James Beard, and Jacques Pepin. American cookery (most awesome word) would be nothing without James Beard. Julia Child taught us that we could eat gorgeous, delicious meals like they do in France, and Jacques Pepin has written tons of cookbooks, with great recipes, and seeing him work alongside Julia on their show is one of the most heart-warming things, ever.

I covered the James Beard Awards last night for the foundation (and Time Out New York). It was pretty cool photographing some of these people..I remember watching Ming Tsai years ago on the food network and Emeril as well...so it was cool introducing myself to them

 

Ted Allen (from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) told me I had a nice mop of hair and complimented my suit! (which Jordana made me buy specifically for this event because my one old suit doesn't cut it anymore).

Chocolate Banana Tart

Habanero-orange caramel, chocolate custard, caramelized bananas, and peanut butter ice cream. ($7, $3 for extra scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.)

 

Notes: I am NOT a peanut butter or a banana fan. However, I do not object to bananas and chocolate. The peanut butter ice cream is what ruined it for me (it is very peanut butter-y ice cream and is very good, but I just don't care for peanut butter unless it's chunky and spread on hot toast). The orange habenero syrup, which was liberally drizzled over the entire creation, was probably too hot for most, but I enjoyed it. However, I will note that it was not properly balanced with the rest of the dish, although the creaminess of the peanut butter ice cream and the chocolate custard helped to cut the heat a bit. The chocolate custard was rather rich and unextraordinary.

 

This dessert is very Michael Bump-ish (currently pastry chef at Michael Smith); it reminds me of a Chocolate Nutter dessert that I had when Bump was pastry chef at 40 Sardines.

What really bugs me about this image is the white building on the left, its monochrome tones don't help to balance the image very well, and if I convert the image to Grayscale, I lose the 'glow' of the tinted glazing...

Sous Vide Meyer Lemon Custard

Grapefruit, Yuzu Caramel, Tarragon, Black Pepper Blood Orange Sorbet. ($9)

 

Notes: The lemon custard was cold, and really, had the texture of semi-freddo. Beside the symphony of citrusy flavors, the most outstanding touches of this dish were the tarragon syrup and the crispy sheets of brik dough.

I made a beef stew for a pot luck

It is a classic recipe from James Beard. It came out pretty good. the trick to sucess is not to over cook the veggies so that they look and taste like mushy. This batch worked out well

Pre-Dessert (Left)

Goat cheeese and honey panna cotta, citrus, and fig.

 

Iced "Quatro Leches"

Milk sponge, coconut parfait, puffed rice pudding, cajeta gelato.

Steamed Buns

Pork belly, hoisin, cucumber, scallions. ($9 - the picture shows two orders)

 

Notes: Words cannot do justice to how good this was. So, I won't even try. You have to try them here at least once. Probably the best steamed pork belly buns I've had on this side of the International Date Line.

Pictured here are the service 'pods' for each floor - used in a very formal resolution to help articulate the facade. I will post images of these with more context sooner or later...
