Chef Javs Prepares His First Degustation

By August 20, 2013 Foodie, For kids 2 Comments

We were surprised when one day Chef Javs said he wanted to prepare a degustation!  He must have been inspired by something for him to do this.  He wanted the whole family to come but just a few could make it on short notice.  This was five weeks ago so it is a delayed post.  He did not want me to post it because he feels it’s not so good, but I told him that it was very good especially for his first time.  

I went behind the scenes to check on my Chef 🙂

Our first dish,  Potato tortilla with potato foam and crispy potatoes and green onions.  He used the whipper to make the foam – so you can say this is molecular gastronomy 🙂

When Mom saw this dish, she rushed to bring out her caviar and added it 🙂

Salmon with Cream cheese in Phyllo pastry – it was a big big portion – we told the Chef that he should make his portions smaller 🙂  He doesn’t realize that we do not eat as much as he does! 🙂
