The last few days
As the twins near their birth I've been a little distracted at work often daydreaming of how things are going to be, how grumpy I'll be when I'm sleep deprived?! Here are a few shots of some fun I've had. Mascarpone brûlée, liquid raisins, crispy tortas, hazelnut foam, and coffee sorbet on cardamom crumbs. Baked brioche with the mascarpone brûlée innards dusted with sweet gingered cinnamon. Rum and raisin truffles Raisin fluid gel + chocolate and rum, covered in shaved chocolate, cocoa and chocolate crumbs.
