- Sous Vide Salmon, basically a warm water poaching approach applied to the tender and fatty Icelandic salmon. the result is quite good, fish has very tender and silky texture, but not raw. the spiced butter searing part is substituted by very brief searing with olive oil and yuzukisho,ginger and scallion sauce.
- Basamic Panna Cotta, the key thing is to use citrus acid instead of gelatin or egg to set the cream. the result is a mixture of success and failure, the texture is no bounce alright, but way too dense and not soft. need to work on the proportions.
