Fluff we used to call it, aeroplane jelly - fruit liquor set with gelatin cooled and whipped. There was a lot of stigma around the said dessert, I never really got into it, conveniently before this course arrived I had had sufficient an any more would have been supurfulous. In this case I used chardonnay, concord grapes and sugar simmered for about 5 minutes, blitzed, passed, chilled over ice, poured into shot glasses, the remainder I whipped up and spooned on top and let set in the fridge! Choice fluff aye!

S.T.R.M.B. 3 The Quinelle

The Quenelle is another site I draw great inspiration from. Francisco Migoya, the sties author, is the Associate Professor at The Culinary Institute of America in New York. The author of “ Frozen Deserts ” and “The Modern Café” both cracking books! He was as Pastry Chef for The French Laundry, and for some time of Bouchon Bakery and Bouchon Bistro. The intention of his blog is to communicate ideas about pastry and bread making to professionals and other serious food enthusiasts. I just plagiarized straight from his bio but hell that's what chefs do best.

A new toy!
