molecular gastronomy demo @ surfas
Originally uploaded by bluepupae.

on a semi-random visit, mike went to pick up some ingredients for me at surfas, which is a wonderful cooking/baking supply shop that is very close to where he works. he found out about their regular demos, and that there would be one on molecular gastronomy. not only was it free, you get tastings along with the demo. i had to go!

there were quite a few people already there when we arrived about 5 min before the start, and the place filled up quickly! despite the large turnout, there were some hands on opportunities, and recipes were given out. it was fun making balls of midori that floated in sprite, and little rose infused panna cotta caviar to top chocolate mousse. not sure about some of the demo'd flavor combinations, but i'm excited to incorporate some of the techniques into cooking, although it would probably be more of a special occasion kind of thing.
