farce, did you scratch make your demi?!? Seriously?!? Wish i could megaprop for that shit!

 

yeah i make all my own stocks. it's the best way to go. the kitchen basics shit has to much sodium in it to reduce down. shit gets maaaaaaaad salty like almost unpalatable. so every couple months or so i go and pick up bones from the meat purveyor i go to and make stock then freeze it. then when i need to make a sauce or something i just throw it in a pot and let it reduce.

This was nice, the lamb was cooked perfectly. I know taste plates for dessert are a bit out of fashion, but it's my favourite way to eat dessert.

Slow cooked lamb/chickpea, smoked almonds and persian fetta salad//

Toasted coconut pudding/pineapple sorbet, and kaffir lime custard//

Frozen white chocolate and mulberry parfait/with pistachio sherbet and summer berries//

Couple of things I missed, I think almond shortbread, chocolate brownie & a little citrus butter cake.

did you use thickeners or classical method? One of the local restaurants does demi classical style and it takes them a full day to reduce the batch. 3 kettles constantly on to keep up with demand.

 

usually i don't but i got a late start and used a little bit of roux. generally i'll reduce a gallon by half then add a half gallon of wine and reduce by half again. generally at that point if im making say a black pepper demi that's when i add rough cracked pepper and let it simmer for a little while. then strain it and season it. it does take a long time but it's definitely worth it.

i don't know protestor one of my chefs that i worked with does 4 or 5 dessert tastes for his grand tasting menu all on one plate. i don't think it's old fashioned depending on what you're putting forth.

 

one of chef morris's desert symphonies

I feel like the dessert taste plates are passe to the new wave of customers/foodies and to the chefs putting them together. Neither Chef nor consumer want to feel like they went to a buffet and piled a bunch of deserts on their plate. Dining has become more about the story the chef has put together, absorbing the whole "page" they wrote for the consumer.

I think the whole intent of avoiding the taste plate is to not overwhelm the customer. No disrespect to Chef Morris and his symphonies because without a doubt they are beautiful. But I think it would be 10x more appealing on separate plates.

I have the hardest time trying to convey what I wanted to. This ^^^ was sloppy. I have more to say about it but I cant think of how to write it out.

sowwy :D

trop you could be totally right. although at the end of an already 12 course meal if he were to individually plate each of those desserts that would bump it to 17 courses which isn't un heard of but sometimes after a couple hours of eating the point can get lost. due to just being full or losing interest. not everyone can sit through a 3 hour meal and be as excited at the end as they were at the beginning.
