PRESENTER BIOGRAPHIES

After ANTOINETTE BRUNO found success on Wall Street, she realized something was missing: an intimacy with food—the kind of closeness she felt living in Europe, working her way through school in restaurants. She left the world of finance for the Chefs’ Program at Ritz Escoffier in Paris. She earned her culinary chops working in southern France and then returned to the States. In 1999, Antoinette became CEO of StarChefs, combining her culinary training with her business know-how and refocusing its mission of supporting, connecting, and elevating chefs and their profiles in a fractious and competitive industry. In 2001, she also took on the role of editor-in-chief, leading StarChefs to become an industry authority on chefs, food trends, and the culinary world. The Rising Stars Awards were launched in 2002 as a platform for young chefs to be recognized broadly. And in 2006, Bruno and partner Will Blunt launched the StarChefs International Chefs Congress, a professionally culinary symposium like no other in the world. In 2005, she developed a passion for photography and began to give the StarChefs audience a visual account of her tastings through her daily “” postings. Since then, her photos have been published in 11 books, countless magazines, and many national newspapers. Prior to helming StarChefs, Antoinette earned a post-graduate degree from the London School of Economics and her MBA from Harvard Business School. She’s been a judge on “Iron Chef,” a guest on morning programs across the country, and was nominated for James Beard Awards for Best Multi-Media Feature and Best Food Website. Bruno is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, The James Beard Foundation, and Women Presidents’ Organization; she was elected to the board of Women Chefs and Restaurateurs in 2012.

JON BRZYCKI is the culinary gardener at The Culinary Institute of America at Copia. In this role, he is in charge of growing a vast array of seasonal organic produce for the restaurant, special events, and demonstration kitchens. Jon began his career in culinary arts, studying the fundamentals of French classical cuisine at a Hilton hotel in Scottsdale, AZ, as an apprentice with the American Culinary Federation. Upon graduation, he moved to Orange County, CA, and while working in fine dining restaurants and resort hotels over the next eight years, he learned the art of contemporary Californian cuisine. While settling into a new home in the city of Napa, he returned to the restaurant kitchen, but never found a job that suited him until he began working as a personal chef for a local winery owner. It was there that Jon was introduced to the garden on a much higher level and designed his first culinary garden from which he grew most everything for the meals he prepared for his employer. As his gardening skills and experience expanded, Jon started the first residential urban farm in the city of Napa in 2003. He built raised beds for his produce, planted a large fruit orchard, and created a respectable farm culture, complete with its own well and an elaborate irrigation system. He sold his produce to local winery and restaurant chefs throughout Napa Valley until he closed the business in 2010 and returned to working as a private chef, all before taking his current position back in the garden.

while preparing Louisiana game, waterfowl, and fish at his family’s hunting and fishing camps. It was here where his cooking talents really started to flourish. At the age of 18, Cody left the farm to attend Louisiana State University. He graduated from LSU in 2007 with his degree in business; he then enrolled at the Louisiana Culinary Institute to acquire his degree in culinary arts. It was here that he met his future wife and business partner, SAMANTHA CARROLL. They both graduated culinary school in January 2010 and just three months later, turned a former drive-thru convenience store in New Roads into a rustic South Louisiana style restaurant. Opening their first restaurant at the early age of 25 and 19, Hot Tails Restaurant focuses on a mix of Cajun and Creole cuisine with a new interpretation. Their dishes have been referred to as “hardcore South Louisiana.” In 2013 Cody and Samantha competed in the Louisiana Seafood Cook-off, thus winning and earning the crowning title of King and Queen of Louisiana Seafood. After winning the crown they set sights on opening a second restaurant. In March 2015, Cody and Samantha opened their second restaurant, Sac-a-lait, in an old Cotton Mill in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Sac-a-lait Restaurant focuses on deriving inspiration from hunting, farming, and fishing in South Louisiana. Bringing in fresh ingredients daily from all local Louisiana sources and boasting a menu that includes alligator, turtle, venison, quail and fresh Louisiana fish. Just nine months after opening, Sac-a-lait was named Restaurant of the Year by New Orleans Magazine. Cody and Samantha with their extensive background in true Louisiana flavors makes Hot Tails and Sac-a-lait a very unique dining experience. They are the hosts of Cajun Aces on the .

MEGAN KRIGBAUM is a wine writer and contributing editor for Punch Magazine. (Brooklyn, NY) @mdkrigbaum

JIM LAHEY studied sculpture before learning the art of bread baking in Italy. When he returned to New York City in 1994, he opened Sullivan Street Bakery in Soho with the desire to bring the craft of small-batch bread baking to America. In October 2000, he built the Sullivan Street Bakery headquarters in Hell’s Kitchen, where he has become renowned not just for his bread, but for his Roman-style pizza, rustic Italian pastries, and cookies. In 2009, Jim opened Co., his first pizza restaurant in Chelsea, putting his own spin on pies while celebrating artisanal food culture and communal dining. The name is short for Company, a word whose Latin roots refer to the phrase “with bread.” He has been called “one of the most influential food figures in America” by Bon Appétit, and his businesses have been featured in numerous publications, including Vogue and The New York Times. He has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and NBC’s The Today Show. Jim’s innovative no-knead bread recipe that ignited a worldwide homebaking revolution was first published in an article by Mark Bittman in The New York Times in 2006. That article became the basis of Lahey’s first cookbook, My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method (W.W. Norton & Company, October 2009), and My Pizza: The Easy No-Knead Way to Make Spectacular Pizza at Home (W.W. Norton & Company, March 2012). Jim expanded his footprint in New York in July 2012 with the opening of Sullivan Street Bakery’s second outpost in Chelsea, just a few doors down from Co. His third book, The Sullivan Street Bakery Cookbook (W.W. Norton & Company, November 2017), which he co- authored with his wife Maya Joseph, builds on the revolutionary no-knead recipe he developed for My Bread, to outline his no-fuss system for making sourdough at home. Jim was named the first recipient of the James Beard Foundation’s Award for Outstanding Baker in 2015. He was recognized again in 2016 by the James Beard Foundation as Who’s Who of Food & Beverage in America. In June 2017, Jim partnered with Steven Perricone to open a wholesale outpost of Sullivan Street Bakery in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, servicing local restaurants and hotels. He plans to eventually add a retail component, but in the meantime, his breads can be purchased Perricone’s Marketplace & Café. (New York, NY) @jimlaheyssb

After graduating with honors from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, ETHAN MANTLE ‘98 embarked on an ambitious trajectory. He worked at the legendary Michelin three-starred Georges Blanc in France, before staging at The French Laundry, then becoming a chef’s assistant at the historic Ahwahnee Hotel’s “Chef’s Holidays’’ extravaganza in Yosemite, and finally landing at the acclaimed Fleur de Lys in San Francisco. After two years there, he took a unique step, pivoting to become a caterer. His is probably the most improbable resume in the catering industry, which is precisely why his Componere Fine Catering is unlike any other catering company around. The Nevada City native discovered his calling in life after graduating high school, when he took a summer job as a dishwasher at the Ahwahnee Hotel, only to catch the eye of the executive chef who saw his potential and started him as a prep cook. Established in 2005 with his wife Tisa Mantle, Componere provides the elevated food, service and experience of the best fine-dining restaurant –anywhere, anytime. Ethan didn’t set out to push the envelope in catering. In fact, admittedly, he used to thumb his nose at that side of the industry. But all that changed when he and his wife were plotting to open their own restaurant. While they toiled away on those plans, friends started asking them to cook at their dinner parties. Now, he and his wife Tisa can’t imagine doing anything else. They manage the company together, and live in Novato with their two children on the farm they established to supply Componere with organic specialty produce. In October 2017, Componere received the “Exceptional Non-Brick & Mortar Restaurant of the Year” award during the Golden Gate Restaurant Association’s annual Saucy Awards, an industry-driven awards recognizing the excellence of the San Francisco Bay Area culinary community.

PHILIP TESSIER ‘99 won international acclaim in 2015, winning the Silver Bocuse at the Bocuse d’Or, the world’s most difficult culinary competition. Just a few points shy of gold, he became the first American ever to mount the podium in the 30-year history of the competition. In 2017, Philip returned as head coach for Team USA and again was a part of history as the United States at last won gold, establishing America as the new standard bearers at the Bocuse d’Or. His newly released book, Chasing Bocuse: America’s Journey to the Culinary World Stage, offers a behind the scenes view of this incredible journey in pursuit of establishing America as the new standard bearers at the Bocuse d’Or. Philip’s culinary career began at the Williamsburg Inn in Virginia, where he first gained an appreciation of kitchen logistics and management. To build on that experience, he enrolled in The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and after receiving his degree in 1999, spent an additional year at the CIA as a postgraduate fellow in the Escoffier Room restaurant. A love of French cuisine led Philip to France, where he worked in the highly regarded kitchens of L’Essential and Le Moulin de Mougins. Upon returning to the United States, he spent time training under chef Eric Ripert at New York’s Le Bernardin, where he rose through the ranks to the position of sous chef before joining the opening team at Per Se in 2004. Philip’s 11-year tenure with the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group would take him through the kitchen of Bouchon, Yountville as chef de cuisine and culminate at The French Laundry as the executive sous chef. Today, he is a founding member and director of culinary and media at Hestan Smart Cooking, adding his culinary expertise to a talented team of engineers and scientists to develop a new platform for cooking in the home. Tessier is also in the beginning stages of pursuing his lifetime dream of establishing his own restaurant and mentoring the next generation of chefs in America. (Napa, CA) @PhilipTessier

PIZZA BIANCA ALLA ROMANA Yield: Two 12-inch Round Pizzas Ingredients Amounts

All-purpose flour 400 g plus flour for shaping Sugar 5 g Sea salt, fine 5 g Water, room temperature 350 g Biga 100 g Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing as needed the bowl and pizzas Sea salt, course 8 g Rosemary for serving as needed

Method 1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and sea salt in a large bowl. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water and biga until the biga is fully dissolved and the water is very bubbly. Pour in the contents of the flour bowl and mix quickly and vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. 3. The dough will be bumpy and stringy looking. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes at room temperature. 4. Dust the edges of the dough with flour and fold them in toward the center of the bowl. Turn the dough over, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 hours, until it has increased in size by a third and is visibly bubbling. 5. Dust flour over two 12-by-16-inch pieces of parchment paper. Sift a little flour over the risen dough in the bowl. Lightly flour your hands. 6. Using a dough scraper, divide the dough in half. Pinch off one half of the dough and, with gravity's help, form the dough into a taut ball and place seam side down on one piece of the floured parchment. 7. Dust a bit more flour onto the paper if needed, so that there is a coating of flour on the paper all around the dough. Repeat with the second half of the dough and second piece of parchment. 8. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the centers of the tops of each round of dough with olive oil. (Leave a margin of 2 inches around the perimeter; the oil will spread on its own.) Sprinkle the coarse sea salt on top of the oil. 9. Let the dough rounds sit, uncovered, at room temperature until they have doubled in size, 1 to 3 hours. When they are ready, the dough rounds will be large, bubbly, expansive, and clearly full of gas. Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and heat it to 500°F. 10. Dust the tops of the doughs lightly with flour and gently pull the dough outward with both hands so that it stretches to about 8 inches in diameter. I call this movement "opening the dough." Now for 10 seconds of fun: Stick out all ten of your fingers like you're going to try to walk across the table with them and "dock," or dimple, both doughs by plunging your fingers into them very firmly, three or four times for each dough.

11. Place one docked pizza dough on parchment on the peel. Oil or flour your fingertips and dock the dough again, with both hands, about three times. 12. Very gently, use your fingertips to pull the dough outward all around - it should stretch evenly to make a rough circle that nearly reaches the edges of the parchment and is about 12 inches in diameter. 13. Open the oven, line up the far end of the peel with the far end of the pizza stone, and shimmy and shake the dough and the parchment onto the stone. 14. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the top of the dough is browning and the valleys made by your fingertips are pale and golden. 15. Slide the peel under the pizza and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. If you don't have a wire rack, lean the pizza on its side for a few minutes. This will allow the bottom to cool and prevent it from becoming soft.

Note: Now that the peel is free, place the second pizza on parchment and repeat the docking and stretching. Once you get comfortable handling the wet dough you can stop using the parchment. Bake the second pizza. Brush the warm pizzas generously with olive oil and a sprinkle of rosemary needles, if desired, and serve.

GREEN CHILI CHUTNEY

Ingredients Amounts

Cilantro, firmly packed 1 ½ cups Mint leaves, firmly packed ½ cup Green onions, white and light green 4 ea. parts only Green chiles, (like jalapeños or Serrano) 2-3 ea. stemmed and roughly chopped (seeded for less heat) Gingerroot, peeled and roughly chopped 1 ea. 2 inches/5 cm Lemon, juice of 2 ea. Sugar 1 Tbsp. Salt ½ tsp.

Method 1. Place the cilantro, mint, green onions, chiles, ginger, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in a blender with ¼ cup/60 milliliters of water and purée (it doesn’t purée smoothly—you’ll have to stop and scrape down the sides and bottom of the blender jar often) until completely smooth. 2. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Makes 1½ cups.

Note: There are a few homemade chutneys that I am never ever without—haree chutney is one of them (tamarind chutney and tomato chutney are two others). It’s is amazing with anything and everything, giving even the most simple dish a beautiful, fresh, and incredibly bright flavor. In the summer I’ll add ¾ cup/180 grams of plain yogurt for a refreshing mint chutney.

Chocolate Hazelnut Spread ½ cup Chocolate chips (dove) ¼ cup Hazelnuts, toasted, chopped ¼ cup

Egg, lightly beaten 1 ea.

Cocoa Nibs, crushed ¼ cup

Method 1. For the Dough: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for 10 to 15 seconds. 2. Scatter the butter over the top. Mix on low speed for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, or just until the flour is no longer bright white and holds together when you clump it. Lumps of butter the size of pecans should be visible throughout the dough. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk until blended. Add to the flour mixture all at once. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds or until the dough just barely comes together. It will be a shaggy mess. 4. Dump the dough onto an unfloured surface and gather it into a tight mound. Using your palm and starting on one side of the mound, smear the dough bit by bit, starting at the top and sliding your palm down the side and along the work surface. 5. Do this once or twice on each part of the dough, moving through the mound until the whole mess has been smeared into a cohesive dough with streaks of butter throughout. 6. Gather up the dough, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and press down into a disc about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using. The dough will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer. 7. For the Glaze: Whisk together sugar and cinnamon, add milk and stir until smooth. 8.

Method 1. For the Dough: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt for 10 to 15 seconds. 2. Scatter the butter over the top. Mix on low speed for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, or just until the flour is no longer bright white and holds together when you clump it. Lumps of butter the size of pecans should be visible throughout the dough.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk until blended. Add to the flour mixture all at once. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds or until the dough just barely comes together. It will be a shaggy mess. 4. Dump the dough onto an unfloured surface and gather it into a tight mound. Using your palm and starting on one side of the mound, smear the dough bit by bit, starting at the top and sliding your palm down the side and along the work surface. 5. Do this once or twice on each part of the dough, moving through the mound until the whole mess has been smeared into a cohesive dough with streaks of butter throughout. 6. Gather up the dough, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and press down into a disc about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before using. The dough will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer. 7. For the Berry Patch Filling: In a small sauce pan, combined all of the ingredients and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat (keep stirring until thickened for best results). The mixture should be the consistency of jam. 8. For the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, salt and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. 9. For the Glaze: Whisk together sugar and vanilla, add milk and stir until smooth. 10. To Assemble: Preheat the oven to 350°F. 11. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface roll the first half of the dough into a 28- by 11-inch rectangle. 12. Using a paring knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into eight 3 ½- by 5 ½-inch rectangles (about the size of an index card). Brush four of the rectangles with the egg. 13. Pipe a border of room-temp cream cheese around the edge; then pipe a double thickness of cream cheese down the middle. Spoon 2+ tablespoons of the filling in between the cream cheese borders. 14. Top with the remaining 4 rectangles of dough. Use a fork to lightly press the edges together and seal them together. Place each Pop-tart on a parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. 15. Repeat the same process with the remaining half of the dough. Lightly rolling out top halves of tarts one more time so they stretch ever so slightly bigger in size. This ensures they can drape over the filling on the bottom halves and still seal tightly. 16. Brush edges of bottom halves lightly with beaten egg. Arrange tops and press gently to seal. Crimp edges firmly with a fork. 17. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the tops of the pastries are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. 18. Brush the tops with the glaze. Sprinkle with freeze dried fruit. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving. 19. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

UBE YAM JAM Yield: 3 Cups Ingredients Amounts

Coconut milk, #10 Can 1 ea. Sugar 1 ¼ cup Salt a pinch Purple yam, grated 16 oz. 1 Tbsp.

Method 1. Using a rubber spatula, stir together the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and purple yam in a large saucepan over high heat. 2. Bring everything to a boil, while stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium, or medium- low, and continue to simmer and stir until the mixture thickens, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pot with the spatula to prevent scorching. If the mixture bubbles too much, reduce heat to low. 3. Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring until it becomes the consistency of thick cake batter and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot, about 30 minutes total. Remove from heat. 4. Stir in the coconut oil and continue to mix until the oil is completely incorporated into the jam. 5. Allow the mixture to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer the warm mixture to jars or containers. Store at room temperature for easier spreading. If storing in the refrigerator, allow jam to come to room temp before using so it is easier to spread.

RASPBERRY CARDAMOM JAM Yield: 3 Cups Ingredients Amounts

Cardamom pods 9 ea. Raspberries 3 ½ lb. Sugar 5 cups Lemons, juiced, rinds reserved 2 Tbsp.

Method 1. Heat the oven to 225°F (110°C) and get your kitchen ready for canning. 2. In a small, dry pan over medium-low heat, toast the cardamom seeds—the little black things inside the green pods, not the pods themselves—for about 4 minutes, stirring every so often so they don’t burn. Grind to a powder in a spice mill. 3. Mash the raspberries and place in a large bowl and stir in the cardamom, sugar and lemon juice; let sit for at least a few minutes or up to 30 minutes. 4. Transfer the mixture to a pot. Put the squeezed lemon rinds in a turkey stuffing bag and tie the bag to one of the pot’s handles. 5. Cook over high heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot so the sugars don’t burn. Use a fine-mesh skimmer to skim off any white scum. As the jam cooks, the solids will separate from the liquids and then rejoin. You’ll see the surface will look matte at the beginning, then all of a sudden it’ll change to shiny and glossy. 6. Once the jam is glossy, remove the bag or lemon rind, squeeze out all the liquid inside, and remove the bag from the pot. 7. Continue cooking the jam for another minute. It usually takes 10 to 12 minutes and will be approximately 217°F (103°C) when it’s done. 8. An easy way to tell if this jam is finished cooking is to perform a plate test. Stick a few small plates in the freezer before you start cooking the jam. 9. To perform the plate test, turn off the heat under the pot and spoon a little bit of jam onto one of the frozen plates. 10. Put the plate back in the freezer for 1 minute, then set your pointer finger on the plate and slide it upward through the jam. If the jam parts like the Red Sea and furrows like a brow, it’s done.

Once the temperature of the mixture reaches 140°F, switch to a flexible spatula, stirring as the mixture becomes a thin custard. 4. Continue to stir; once the mixture reaches 170°F, transfer the bowl to a work surface. Whisk in one-quarter of the butter until incorporated. Repeat with the remaining butter in three more additions, whisking to form a smooth curd. 5. For a satiny finish, push the curd through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the zest. 6. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours, which will help develop the flavor and texture.

Note: You can substitute the same amount of juice and zest from Meyer or Eureka lemons, red or pink grapefruit, key limes, satsumas and/or kumquats. Whisk together all ingredients over low heat until mixture is thick.

Mini Crack Pies

The Flavor Summit 91 THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA® MARCH 2018 JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE AT #CIAFS

CRACK PIE® Yield: Two (10-inch) Pies; Each serves 8 to 10 Ingredients Amounts

Oat Cookie (recipe follows) 1 ea. Light brown sugar 15 g Salt 1 g Butter, melted, or as needed 55 g Crack pie® filling (recipe follows) 1 ea. Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting as needed

Method 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. 2. Put the oat cookie, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse it on and off until the cookie is broken down into a wet sand. (if you don’t have a food processor, you can fake it till you make it and crumble the oat cookie diligently with your hands.) 3. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, add the butter, and knead the butter and ground cookie mixture until moist enough to form into a ball. If it is not moist enough to do so, melt an additional 14 to 25 grams (1 to 1½ tablespoons) butter and knead it in. 4. Divide the oat crust evenly between 2 (10-inch) pie tins. Using your fingers and the palms of your hands, press the oat cookie crust firmly into each pie tin, making sure the bottom and sides of the tin are evenly covered. 5. Use the pie shells immediately, or wrap well in plastic and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. 6. Put both pie shells on a sheet pan. Divide the crack pie® filling evenly between the crusts; the filling should fill them three-quarters of the way full. Bake for 15 minutes only. The pies should be golden brown on top but will still be very jiggly. 7. Open the oven door and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Depending on your oven, it may take 5 minutes or longer for the oven to cool to the new temperature. Keep the pies in the oven during this process. 8. When the oven reaches 325°F, close the door and bake the pies for 5 minutes longer. The pies should still be jiggly in the bull’s-eye center but not around the outer edges. If the filling is still too jiggly, leave the pies in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or so. 9. Gently take the pan of crack pies® out of the oven and transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature. (you can speed up the cooling process by carefully transferring the pies to the fridge or freezer if you’re in a hurry.) Then freeze your pies for at least 3 hours, or overnight, to condense the filling for a dense final product—freezing is the signature technique and result of a perfectly executed crack pie®. 10. If not serving the pies right away, wrap well in plastic wrap. In the fridge, they will keep fresh for 5 days; in the freezer, they will keep for 1 month. Transfer the pie(s) from the freezer to the refrigerator to defrost a minimum of 1 hour before you’re ready to get in there. 11. Serve your crack pie® cold! Decorate your pie(s) with confectioners’ sugar, either passing it through a fine sieve or dispatching pinches with your fingers.

OAT COOKIE Yield: About 1 quarter sheet pan Ingredients Amounts

Butter, at room temperature 115 g Light brown sugar 75 g Granulated sugar 40 g Egg yolk 1 ea. Flour 80 g Old-fashioned rolled oats 120 g Baking powder .5 g Baking soda .25 g Salt 2 g Nonstick cooking spray (optional) as needed

Method 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. 2. Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale yellow in color. 3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. On low speed, add the egg yolk and increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sugar granules fully dissolve and the mixture is a pale white. 4. On low speed, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix for a minute, until your dough comes together and any remnants of dry ingredients have been incorporated. 5. The dough will be a slightly fluffy, fatty mixture in comparison to your average cookie dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 6. Pam-spray a quarter sheet pan and line with parchment, or just line the pan with a silpat. Plop the cookie dough in the center of the pan and, with a spatula, spread it out until it is ¼- inch thick. The dough won’t end up covering the entire pan; this is ok. 7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until it resembles an oatmeal cookie-caramelized on top and puffed slightly but set firmly. Cool completely before using. Wrapped well in plastic, the oat cookie will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 1 week.

CRACK PIE® FILLING Yield: Two (10-inch) Crack Pies® Ingredients Amounts

Sugar 300 g Light brown sugar 180 g Milk powder 20 g Corn powder 24 g Salt 6 g Butter, melted 225 g Heavy cream 160 g Vanilla extract 2 g Egg yolks** 8 ea.

Method 1. Combine the sugar, brown sugar, milk powder, corn powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed until evenly blended. 2. Add the melted butter and paddle for 2 to 3 minutes until all the dry ingredients are moist. 3. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and continue mixing on low for 2 to 3 minutes until any white streaks from the cream have completely disappeared into the mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. 4. Add the egg yolks, paddling them into the mixture just to combine; be careful not to aerate the mixture, but be certain the mixture is glossy and homogenous. Mix on low speed until it is. 5. Use the filling right away, or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Note: It will be the death of your wildly dense pie filling if there is any bit of egg white in the mixture. I believe the easiest, and best, way to separate an egg is to do so in your hands. You may also use the two half-shells to separate the eggs, but the cracked shells can tear the yolk open, and you may not totally separate all the white. If you do this by hand, you can feel when you get every last bit of white away from the yolk. Remember to wash your hands under warm soapy water for 30 seconds or more before and after you handle raw eggs! Save your egg whites for peanut butter nougat or pistachio cake, or cook them up for your doggies, for a shinier coat You must use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to make this filling. it only takes a minute, but it makes all the difference in the homogenization and smooth, silky final product. i repeat: a hand whisk and a bowl or a granny hand mixer will not produce the same results. also, keep the mixer on low speed through the entire mixing process. if you try to mix the filling on higher speed, you will incorporate too much air and your pie will not be dense and gooey- the essence of crack pie®.

UNTIL T’AMARO Yield: 1 Beverage Ingredients Amounts

Tabasco Honey Local honey 100 g Tabasco 10 g

Grapefruit Marmalade Grapefruits 2 ea. Sugar 500 g Brown sugar 500 g Lemons, juiced 2 ea.

Sazerac 1 oz. Averna 1 oz. Grapefruit juice .5 oz. Lemon juice .5 oz. Tabasco Honey (recipe above) .5 oz. Grapefruit Marmalade (recipe above) .5 oz. Fee Brothers Grapefruit bitters 3 dashes El Guapo crawfish boil bitters 5 dashes Angostura bitters 2 dashes

Rue sprig as needed Garden flowers as needed

Method 1. For the Tabasco Honey: Warm the tabasco in the microwave. Start with 10 seconds, then 5 seconds repeated until hot. This will help break down the honey easier. Combine ingredients and mix until consistency is reached. 2. For the Grapefruit Marmalade: In a large pot, place 2 grapefruits in just enough water to make them float freely. Bring to a boil, let them boil for 2 hours. Adding water if needed to keep the grapefruits floating. 3. Drain the grapefruit, discard water and let fruit cool. 4. Slice the grapefruits as finely as possible and chop them just a bit. 5. Add the grapefruit, sugars and lemon juice back to the pot and dissolve the sugars on low heat. 6. Bring to a boil and let bubble until you reach the jell point, about 15 minutes, give or take. Ladle into clean sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes! 7. I take the finished kitchen product and puree with simple syrup until it’s just barely pourable. 8. I batch everything into two separate batches ahead of time, spirit batch and juice batch. This eliminates the waste of liquor and reduces cost by only having to trash the juice batch if it

Cook over medium low heat, stirring gently until the orzo has absorbed all the liquid and the bottom of the pot is almost dry. 16. Add more stock, a ladle or two at a time, to keep the pot simmering at a level just above the orzo, stirring until the orzo absorbs all the liquid and continue the above process. 17. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the orzo kernels will be nearly cooked but still slightly crunchy in the middle. 18. Stir in the cheese and butter, continue to cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste for texture. If the orzo is not quite cooked and threatens to become sticky, add a little more broth. 19. Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and chanterelles, and sauté until golden brown. Add thyme and garlic and cook until aromatic, deglaze with white wine. Stir into finished risotto with the chopped parsley. 20. Combine the frisee, herbs and lemon zest in a bowl season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. 21. To serve: Heat a sauté pan over medium with ½-inch of oil. Add the veal and brown on the top and bottom, cooking until warmed through. 22. Place the veal on a spoonful of orzo risotto and drizzle with a little of the sauce. Garnish with a frisee mixture.

Note: The finished risotto should be creamy and almost pourable, neither dry nor soupy. The rice should be somewhat chewy and firm, neither crunchy nor so cooked that the kernels have split. If overcooked it will be sticky and will not develop proper consistency if cooked too rapidly or over too high heat.

OOLONG DONUTS WITH MILK TEA Yield: 24 Donuts Ingredients Amounts

Oolong Donuts All-purpose flour 2 ½ cups Baking soda 1 tsp. Salt ¾ tsp. Cloves ¼ tsp. Milk ¾ cup Oolong tea 1 Tbsp. Eggs 3 ea. Canola oil ¼ cup Sugar 1 ½ cups Buttermilk ¾ cup Vanilla extract 1 tsp.

Milk Tea Glaze Milk, hot ½ cup Black tea 3 ea. Powdered sugar 4 cups Vanilla extract 2 tsp. Pistachios, chopped as needed

Method 1. For the Donuts: Bring the ¾ cup milk to a boil and add the oolong tea. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool for 1 hour. 2. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cloves in a medium-sized bowl until well blended. Set aside. 3. Once the milk tea mixture has cooled to room temperature, pour it into a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, vegetable oil, and sugar until blended. 5. Add the buttermilk, oolong milk mixture, and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Then slowly add the flour mixture in thirds, mixing until just blended. Scoop the batter into a greased donut pan, filling the wells ¾ full. 6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the donuts have risen a bit and are lightly golden around the edges. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the donuts from the pan and allowing them to cool completely. 7. While the donuts are baking and cooling, you can begin preparing the glaze. Steep the tea in the hot milk for 1 hour until it cools to room temperature, agitating it while the milk it hot to get as much of the black tea flavor to seep into the liquid as possible.

GRAPEFRUIT VANILLA MERINGUE TARTS Yield: 6 Tarts Ingredients Amounts

Pâte Sucrée All-purpose flour 375 g Powdered sugar 46 g Powdered sugar 94 g Almond flour/meal 47 g Butter, at room temperature 225 g Vanilla bean, split lengthwise ½ ea. Eggs 56 g

Sugar 85 g Grapefruit zest (grated on a rasp) 2 Tbsp. Vanilla bean seeds ¼ ea. Eggs, large 3 ea. Egg yolks, large 4 ea. Grapefruit juice ½ cup Lemon juice ¼ cup Butter, chilled and cut into small cubes 4 Tbsp.

Egg whites 170 g Granulated sugar 255 g Salt ¼ tsp. Cream of tartar ¼ tsp. Vanilla bean seeds 1 ea.

Method 1. For the Pâte Sucrée: Place the flour in a medium bowl. Sift the 46 grams plus 2 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar and the almond flour into the bowl; break up any lumps of almond flour remaining in the sieve, add them to the bowl, and whisk to combine. 2. Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream on medium-low speed, warming the bowl as needed, until the butter is the consistency of mayonnaise and holds a peak when the paddle is lifted. 3. Sift in the remaining 94 grams/ ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and pulse to begin incorporating the sugar, then increase the speed to medium-low and mix for about 1 minute, until the mixture is fluffy. 4. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean, add them to the butter mixture, and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds to distribute the seeds evenly. 5. Add the dry ingredients in 2 additions, mixing for 15 to 30 seconds after each, or until just combined. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate any dry ingredients that have settled there. Add the eggs and mix on low speed until just combined, 15 to 30 seconds.

6. Transfer the dough to the work surface. Use the heel of your hand to smear the dough and work it together (fraiser). Divide the dough in half and form each half into a 4-by-6-inch- rectangle, about 1 inch thick. 7. You will use only one of these rectangles to make the tarts. The other half can be used in future recipes, for any tart with a semi-sweet filling. 8. Wrap each piece in a double layer of plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours, but preferably overnight. The dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. 9. For the Grapefruit Vanilla Curd: Pour one inch of water into a medium pot that accommodates your heat-proof glass bowl without letting it touch the water's surface. Bring water to a simmer over medium heat. 10. In a food processor or mortar and pestle, combine the sugar, grapefruit zest, and vanilla seeds, and pulse or mash until well combined and very fragrant. 11. Combine the grapefruit sugar, eggs and egg yolks in the heatproof bowl. Whisk together for one minute to distribute the sugar. Place the bowl over the pot with simmering water and whisk constantly for about 30 seconds, or until the sugar is dissolved. 12. Add the grapefruit juice and lemon juice and cook, whisking frequently, until the curd reads 170°F and has the consistency of sour cream, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat. 13. Whisk in the pieces of cold butter one by one until they are completely incorporated. Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Serve as a condiment with scones or toast for breakfast, or spooned into tart shells for dessert. Will keep, tightly covered, in the fridge for up to two weeks, or frozen for several months. 14. For the Swiss Meringue: Fill a wide pot with at least 1 ½ inches of water, with a thick ring of crumpled tinfoil placed inside to act as a "booster seat." Place over high heat until steaming- hot, then adjust temperature to maintain a gentle simmer. 15. Combine egg whites, sugar, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla seeds (if using) in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set over steaming water, stirring and scraping constantly with a flexible spatula, until egg whites hold steady at 175°F (79°C), between 8 and 10 minutes. 16. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip at high speed until meringue is glossy and beginning to ball up inside the whisk, about 5 minutes. Use immediately. Transfer to the pastry bag fitted with the 1-inch tip. 17. Fill the pastry bag fitted with the ½-inch plain tip with the curd 18. Fill the tart shells with curd to ½-inch from the rim of the shells (50 grams/1/3 cup each). Hold the pastry bag vertically over the center of each cake, about 1 inch from the surface, and pipe the meringue to cover about two-thirds of the surface (20 grams each), then pull the bag up to form a dome with as much additional meringue as you’d like. 19. Hold a small offset spatula at the tip of the domed meringue and pull it to the edges of the crust, forming a smooth line from the tip to the outside of the shell. 20. Wipe off the spatula and continue around the tart to form a cone shape, then use the spatula to form irregular peaks in the meringue. Using the propane torch, brown the top of the meringue. 21. The tarts are best the same day they are assembled. They can be refrigerated for 4 to 6 hours; remove them from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.

BUCKWHEAT BLINIS WITH CITRUS CURED SALMON, WATERCRESS CRÈME FRAICHE, AND CAVIAR Yield: 30 Blinis Ingredients Amounts

Yukon Gold potatoes, about 3 200 g Buckwheat flour 8 g Pastry flour 8 g Salt 4 g Baking powder 2 g Crème fraîche, room temperature 56 g Egg, about 2 large, room temperature 100 g

Watercress Crème Fraiche Watercress, blanched, shocked 1 cup Lemon zest 1 Tbsp.

Citrus Cured Salmon (recipe follows) 1 lb. Watercress Crème Fraiche ½ cup (recipe above) Caviar as needed Chervil pluches as needed

Method 1. Place unpeeled potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are fork tender (meaning you can insert a fork into a potato and remove it without any resistance). 2. Once the potatoes are fork tender, peel them and pass the flesh through a sieve. 3. While the sieved potatoes are still hot, incorporate the room-temperature crème fraîche into them with a spatula. If the crème fraîche is too cold when mixed into the hot potatoes, it will not emulsify properly. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. 4. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and mix them gently with a whisk or spatula. 5. Add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture and mix by hand until smooth. 6. Add one egg and mix, then add remaining egg or eggs one at a time. Mix until fully incorporated. Pour batter into a wide-tipped squeeze bottle, if available. 7. In a cool nonstick pan, form six ¾-inch (about 20 millimeters) dollops of batter. Place the skillet on a cool burner, and turn it to medium-high heat. Cook until steam starts escaping from the bottom of the blini. 8. Gently flip the blini using an offset spatula, and continue to cook on medium-high heat for about one minute. 9. Make sure you start with a cold pan instead of a warm or a hot one. If you add dollops of blini batter to a cold pan and then quickly and evenly heat it up, you’ll get a smooth, uniform color distribution on the surface.

The Flavor Summit 111 THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA® MARCH 2018 JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE AT #CIAFS

10. If you start with a warm or a hot pan, you’re likely to get blini with spotty browning or even burned edges. Starting with a warm pan may also lead the blini to cook at different rates, making it tricky to take all of them out of the pan at the same doneness. 11. Serve blini with a dollop of crème fraiche topped with a thin slice of salmon. Top with a spoonful of caviar and a pluche of chervil.

CITRUS CURED SALMON Yield: 24 Portions Ingredients Amounts

Salmon fillet 24 oz. Brown sugar 2 cups Salt 1 ½ cups Orange zest 2 Tbsp. Lemon zest 4 Tbsp. Lime zest 2 Tbsp. Thyme leaves 2 tsp. Black peppercorns 20 ea. Bay leaves 2 ea.

Method 1. Prepare the salmon by removing the skin and trimming off any tissue, as well as removing the pin bones. Set aside in the refrigerator. 2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until the peppercorns and citrus zest are combined. 3. In a small glass baking dish, evenly spread half the sugar mixture over the bottom. Place the salmon over the mixture. 4. Cover evenly with the remaining sugar mixture, making sure to cover all the salmon. Using a similar sized pan, weight down the salmon and place in the refrigerator for 2 days. 5. After the salmon has cured, remove from the refrigerator and rinse off the salt mixture and pat dry with a paper towel. 6. Slice the salmon thinly with a sharp knife and lay the salmon pieces on a large platter. Slice about 30 pieces. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.

UNTIL T’AMARO Yield: 1 Each Ingredients Amounts

Tabasco Honey Local honey 100 g Tabasco 10 g

Grapefruit Marmalade Grapefruits 2 ea. Sugar 500 g Brown sugar 500 g Lemons, juiced 2 ea.

Sazerac Rye Whiskey 1 oz. Averna 1 oz. Grapefruit juice .5 oz. Lemon juice .5 oz. Tabasco Honey (recipe above) .5 oz. Grapefruit Marmalade (recipe above) .5 oz. Fee Brothers grapefruit bitters 3 dashes El Guapo crawfish boil bitters 5 dashes Angostura bitters 2 dashes

Rue sprig as needed Garden flowers as needed

Method 1. For the Tabasco Honey: Warm the tabasco in the microwave. Start with 10 seconds, then 5 seconds repeated until hot. This will help break down the honey easier. Combine ingredients and mix until consistency is reached. 2. For the Grapefruit Marmalade: In a large pot, place 2 grapefruits in just enough water to make them float freely. Bring to a boil, let them boil for 2 hours. Adding water if needed to keep the grapefruits floating. 3. Drain the grapefruit, discard water and let fruit cool. 4. Slice the grapefruits as finely as possible and chop them just a bit. 5. Add the grapefruit, sugars and lemon juice back to the pot and dissolve the sugars on low heat. 6. Bring to a boil and let bubble until you reach the jell point, about 15 minutes, give or take. Ladle into clean sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes! 7. I take the finished kitchen product and puree with simple syrup until it’s just barely pourable. 8. I batch everything into two separate batches ahead of time, spirit batch and juice batch. This eliminates the waste of liquor and reduces cost by only having to trash the juice batch if it

SOUSVIDE EGG BITES WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND CHIMICHURRI Yield: 6 Each, ½ Cup Bites Ingredients Amounts

Egg Bites Eggs, beaten 300 g Cottage cheese 300 g Salt 3 g Parmesan cheese, finely grated ¼ cup + garnish Chives, chopped 1 Tbsp.

4 Ounce canning jars with lids 6 ea.

Cherry Tomatoes Cherry tomatoes, assorted, cut in ½ 1 pt. Chimichurri 2 Tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp. Almonds, slivered, toasted 1 Tbsp.

Method 1. For the Egg Bites: Preheat the water and immersion circulator bath to 172°F. 2. Crack eggs into the pitcher of a blender. Add the cottage cheese and sprinkle in the salt. Blend until silky smooth. Stir in parmesan cheese and chives. 3. Pour the egg base into the jars, filling them to the bottom notch of the jar opening. 4. Place a lid on each mason jar and twist the lid until it’s closed but still possible to open with your fingertips. This allows air to escape from the jars when they’re submerged in water. If the jars are closed too tightly, the trapped air will press against the glass and could crack or break the jars. 5. Place the jars in the water bath, submerged. Cook for 1 hour. 6. Remove from the water bath on to a towel. Pat dry. 7. Remove the lids. 8. Combine the tomatoes, chimichurri and olive oil in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 9. Place a spoonful of the cherry tomatoes on top of the sousvide eggs. Sprinkle with almonds.

Note: Sealing the jars: Place the lid on top of the jar, then twist the band to tighten using just your fingertips. When you begin to feel resistance, twist once in the opposite direction to loosen, then once more in the original direction to tighten.

The Flavor Summit 120 THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA® MARCH 2018 JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE AT #CIAFS

6. Wipe down the frying pan, add the butter or ghee and place on a high heat. Use a knife to cut the upma into four squares and then cut each square in half on the diagonal. 7. Add the triangles to the pan and fry for about 6 minutes, turning once, so that both sides turn golden and crispy. 8. You will need to do this in 2 batches so keep them warm, in a low oven, whilst you continue with the second batch, adding more butter if you need to. 9. Finally, poach the eggs. Fill a shallow saucepan with enough water for a whole egg to cook in. Add the vinegar and bring to a rapid boil. 10. To poach each egg, carefully break it into a cup, then gently pour into the boiling water. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and set it aside. After about 4 minutes the egg should be poached to perfection. 11. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the poached egg to a bowl of warm water to keep it from cooling down. Once all the eggs are done, dry them on kitchen paper. 12. Put two triangles on each plate, leaning one up against the other. Spoon a poached egg alongside, with yogurt, Coconut Chutney and Pineapple Ginger Chutney.

MAPLE BACON MONKEY BREAD

Yield: 1 Bundt Pan

Ingredients Amounts

All-purpose flour 3 ¼ cups Yeast 2 ¼ oz. Salt 1 tsp. Milk 1 cup Water ½ cup Sugar ¼ cup Butter, melted 2 Tbsp. Vanilla extract 2 tsp.

Bacon Bacon, chopped 12 oz.

Maple Glaze Butter ½ cup Brown sugar ¾ cup Maple syrup ½ cup

Brown Sugar Coating Brown sugar 1 ¼ cups Cinnamon 1 Tbsp. Butter, melted 8 Tbsp.

Glaze Powdered sugar ½ cup Milk 1 Tbsp. Vanilla extract ¼ tsp.

Method 1. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer add flour, yeast and salt. Use a spoon to stir well to combine then attach dough hook. 2. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature turn it off. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and set aside. 3. If using a metal Bundt pan, very generously butter the pan and set aside. If using a silicone pan, no buttering is required. 4. In a small saucepan combine milk and water and warm to 110 to 115°F. Pour warmed milk mixture into a large measuring cup. Add sugar, butter, and vanilla and stir well to combine. 5. Turn stand mixer on low and slowly add the milk mixture. Once the dough comes together increase speed to medium and mix until shiny and smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes.

6. On a lightly floured work surface knead dough briefly and form a ball. Place dough in prepared large bowl and spray the top of the dough with additional cooking spray. 7. Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in still warm oven until dough doubles in size, about one hour. (Note: double check that your oven is off or you'll kill the yeast). 8. While dough is rising, mix brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Prepare another bowl with melted butter and set aside. 9. When dough is finished rising, remove from oven and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into roughly an 8-inch square and using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut into 64 1-inch square pieces. 10. For the Bacon: Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and remove extra fat. 11. For the Maple Glaze: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir until mixture begins to foam and the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat. 12. To Assemble: Roll each piece into a ball, dip in melted butter and roll in brown sugar mixture. 13. Sprinkle ¼ of the bacon pieces in the bottom of the bundt pan. Pour in ¼ of the maple mixture. Arrange a layer of dough pieces on top. Sprinkle with more bacon and glaze and repeat the layer ending with the maple mixture on top. 14. Be sure to stagger the dough balls so they aren't stacked directly on top of each other, the staggering gives the bread the interlocking puzzle structure. 15. Wrap Bundt pan tightly with plastic wrap and return to turned-off oven to let the dough balls rise until they are puffy and have risen about an inch from the top rim of the pan, about an hour. Remove pan from oven and set aside. Preheat to 350°F. 16. Once oven is ready, remove plastic wrap and bake until the top is deep brown and the caramel is bubbling up around the edges of the pan, about 30 to 35 minutes. 17. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes then turn bread out onto a serving plate. Let cool for 8 to 10 minutes before serving. 18. In a medium bowl whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth to form the glaze, adding a splash of additional milk if you prefer a thinner glaze. Drizzle glaze over monkey bread and serve warm.

The Flavor Summit 146 THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA® MARCH 2018 JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE AT #CIAFS

4. In a small pot over low heat, add the kombu mixture; heat to just below a simmer (about 150°F), then continue cooking at that temperature, adjusting the heat as needed, for 1 hour. Remove and let cool. 5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the kombu and squeeze any moisture back into the pot; coarsely chop the greens and reserve. Chill the kombu and stock until ready to use, up to 1 week. 6. In a blender, add the drained almonds and 1 1/3 cups of the chilled kombu stock (reserve the remaining stock). Blend the mixture into a thick, smooth cream, about 1 minute. Stir in salt, pepper, and lemon. Strain through a fine sieve set over a bowl; discard the solids. 7. For the Relish: In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the parsley, scallions, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and spread into an even layer; chill until cooled. 8. In the clean bowl of a blender, add the chilled greens, soaked and drained pistachios, and remaining ½ cup olive oil. Blend until pestolike and almost smooth, about 2 minutes. 9. Transfer the herb mixture to a medium bowl. Finely chop the remaining 3 tablespoons pistachios.

For the Vegetables: Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice a few carrots, radishes, and/or cucumbers to serve raw, as garnish. Pair like vegetables together so they can be cooked in groups. 11. Peel carrots, turnips, and beets, leaving a bit of the stems attached for appearance; halve or slice any large ones vertically so they are about the same thickness. Trim radishes and spring onions. Cut them, as well as cucumbers, zucchini, and romano beans, into bite-size pieces. Shell fava beans and peas. Stem any tomatoes and cut in half. 12. In a 4-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. 13. Add a generous pinch of salt and the first batch of vegetables, stirring to coat evenly with the oil; cover and let cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. 14. Stir in 2 tablespoons of stock (or up to 3 for firmer vegetables) and another small pinch of salt; cover and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are al dente and glazed, 2 to 3 minutes more. 15. Repeat with the remaining groups of vegetables, adding up to 1 tablespoon olive oil more for each batch, if necessary. 16. When ready to serve, spoon some of the almond cream onto 6 individual plates or one large serving platter. Spoon small dollops of the herb relish around the plate. 17. Drizzle with a few drops of olive oil and sprinkle with seaweed flakes if using. Arrange the cooked and raw vegetables atop the sauce and serve with the remaining almond cream and herb relish on the side as desired.

Note: Use seasonal vegetables such as baby carrots, turnips, beets, radishes, spring onions, cucumbers, zucchini, romano beans, fava beans, shell peas, and cherry tomatoes

WATERCRESS GAZPACHO WITH COCONUT YOGURT, FINGER LIME AND BASIL FLOWERS

Yield: 4 Portions Ingredients Amounts

Savoy spinach, blanched and chopped, ½ cup squeeze all of the water out Green tomatoes, cored and chopped ½ lb. Cucumber, peeled and chopped 1 ea. Poblano pepper, deseeded and chopped 1 ea. Green pepper, deseeded and chopped 1 ea. Garlic, crushed 3 ea. Spring onions, chopped 3 ea. Sherry vinegar 3 Tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup Parmesan stock(sub veggie stock) 1–2 cups

Himalayan pink salt 1 Tbsp. Ground black pepper as needed Gluten free bread, toasted (optional) 2-3 oz.

Garnish Finger limes as needed Basil flowers as needed Coconut Yogurt as needed

Method 1. Place all ingredients in a high powered 1-gal blender and blend until smooth. Use the stock(below) to wet the ingredients enough to get a smooth soup. 2. Season with salt & pepper and blend in a small amount of gluten free bread to get a light texture. 3. Blend until the soup is warm and smooth, then strain through a chinois and chill rapidly to lock in color and nutrients.

Notes: *For an appetizer, soup works best a little thicker. For a tray passed item, a little thinner than a traditional gazpacho. Place in a 2 oz. soup shooter or shot glass. Top with a dollop of fermented coconut yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, fingerlime “caviar” and basil flowers.
