Sweet Talk (Part 1)

The Bavarian: This dessert is so light and refreshing. Its a perfect finish to the tasting menu which is so heavy and rich. On the plate we begin with a berry sauce and mint oil. Fresh berries which include: blueberries, blackberries, golden and red (sometimes orange too if we get them in) raspberries and lastly Harries Berries delicious and amazing strawberries. They should be at $65 a flat! The berries are sandwiched between 2 layers of puffed pastry. The puff was sprinkled with layers of sugar and ground caramel. Its then baked with weights on top of it so that it doesn't raise like a puff dough normally would. A vanilla bavarian and a scoop of mixed berry sorbet on top with a pulled sugar spiral to complete this dessert .

The Crepe: Starting at the bottom; pineapple caramel with flecks of gold ground this dessert. Then we have citrus crepes filled with coconut, lime rice pudding. On top of the 3 crepes there is a pineapple tuile (crushed pineapple that was spread super thin then dehydrated, sprinkled with isomalt -an invert sugar- and then cut into rectangles.) Slices of roasted pineapple are sandwiched in between the tuile. A scoop of mojito (lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum)sorbet on top and 2 pulled sugar sticks to finish.

The Valencia: Starting at the bottom, we drew on the plate a chocolate swirl with writing chocolate. On top of the swirls we poured an orange reduction. Chocolate crumbs act as a bed for the scoop of orange ice cream. On the left is a milk chocolate cylinder filled with all sorts of goodness: flourless chocolate cake (sinful to those of you who know it by name and have tried it), burnt orange caramel, buttermilk chocolate cake, toffee bits, orange cream, glacage, then topped off with an orange cremeux and glacage. Garnished with a chocolate cigarette. Super rich!
