Puerto Rican Cuisine: Plan B
I was supposed to teach a Puerto Rican cooking class last night but the weather decided it wanted to take control of the fun and excitement so the people that run the shop where I was going to cook decided to reschedule because of the threat of snow. The forecasters said anywhere between 1-8″ of snow would fall so this freaked the hell out of everyone and well……SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING. There was one problem with this, I was […]

Edible Zen Garden 2.0
So about a week ago I showed you the soil that I was working on and I said how I wanted it to be a bit darker. I fixed that problem and as you can see it looks pretty cool! It’s a black sesame and marudaizu soil. The ox tail stones came out perfect with the only thing being left to address is the aesthetics……I don’t think a stone should be that glossy so I’ll have to make […]

Duck Ham…….in three weeks!
I’m about three days/early mornings into this project already. First you start with the whole duck. Then you quarter it and save the legs for something else, make a stock with the carcass and focus on the breasts (hehehehehe). Place the breasts in salt and some other seasonings. Wash them off, wrap them up and let them hang for three weeks! or Duck Prosciutto…..whatever. Eric

A few projects…..
I’ve been working on a few things lately. Above is a picture of a marudaizu glazed pork belly spring roll with pickled vegetables and fried wonton wrapper for crunch. This is an unfiltered chili oil made from japones chillies. I like how cloudy it is and it will be a nice thing to plate with and will give a dish an extra little kick. That’s a naga viper harissa. The hottest harissa in the world. :) These are […]

Dehydration Station:
I got a screaming deal on a brand new Excalibur 4 tray dehydrator on eBay and over the past few days I’ve been dehydrating everything in site. The bottom tray has black trumpet mushrooms and the top tray has orange slices (I want to see how long the quartered slices take rather than the round slices…..I have a ton of oranges at the house so why not try it all). I pickled some ginger the other day….then I dehydrated […]

Working on some things.
I have a couple things I’m working on right now that won’t see the light of day for a while but I want to give you a little peak inside the madness. The picture above is of a sand idea I’m working on. The picture is a tribute piece to where I’ll be working at in less than two months and the recipe for the sand itself is pretty close to theirs. The idea that I’m working on is an […]
