From Identita Golose: “Earl Grey tea cream millefeuille, magdalenas ice cream, caramelised butter tiles and old-book flavoured rice paper: the extraordinary dessert designed by Jordi Roca at El Celler de Can Roca, in Girona, Catalonia”
The Taste of Old Books
We recently came across a TikTok of pastry chef Jodi Roca of El Celler de Can Roca who infused his dessert with the taste of old books. El Cella de Can Roca, is Spain’s three-starred Michelin Restaurant where chef Roca has been known to truly create out of this world desserts that take on a new meaning to life imitating art. In this case, he extracts the liquid from old books and infuses it into a dessert, a method called enfleurage, an old perfumery methodology where you extract fragrances from flower petals by transferring them into a solvent, generally solid fat. He uses the extracted liquor to add the finishing touch on this dish which is presented prior to the final course.
Not only are we fascinated by the process and inspiration for this dish, but our curiosity has us pondering what old books taste like.
Here’s the link to the translated article from Identita Golose.
AMAZON FINDS
This month’s Amazon Finds are a great way to upgrade your kitchen gadgets to make advancing your kitchen skills easy. These items are perfect for any kitchen whether you’re an at home chef or a professional looking to add to your tools.
These are perfect for creating mini tarts at home. These rings are easy to use with a stainless steel perforated designed that allows for easy release from the mold and a perfect finish to your tarts.
Who doesn’t love a delicious chocolate bon bon?! These molds are the perfect size for traditional bon bons that we have also used in our own pastry production. The chocolates can easily be released and easy to wash.
If you’re looking to step up your chef skills, then a butane torch is perfect for you. Having a butane torch is meant for more than your standard creme brulee. This can also be utilized for finishing for the perfect char, an easy way to articulate heat to a specific item, and many more applications. We love this torch because you can adjust the flame easily.
