Blender
The professional ultra-high-velocity blender (often over 25,000 RPM) is the ultimate instrument for breaking and pulverizing plant cell walls on an almost microscopic scale. Far from being limited to making simple smoothies, its phenomenal power is harnessed to force the creation of molecularly ultra-stable emulsions, to obtain coulis of absolute brilliance and fluidity (making passing through a fine sieve almost superfluous).
8-Hour Kamado Confit Lamb Shanks
A masterful interpretation of 8-hour lamb, where delicate cherry wood smoking in the kamado precedes an extremely slow braise. The collagen breakdown yields spoon-tender meat, coated in a rich jus, accompanied by a silky celeriac mousseline.
Modernist Butter Chicken & Saffron Basmati
Forget poultry dried out by long stewing. This modernist version uses the surgical precision of sous-vide cooking at 62°C to guarantee spectacular juiciness of the chicken, all coated in an ultra-silky Makhani sauce emulsified in a blender for perfect consistency, accompanied by a fragrant rice where each grain separates elegantly.
Paccheri 'Da Vittorio': Sicilian Tomato Emulsion and 30-Month Parmesan
A modernist reinterpretation of the legendary Cerea brothers' dish. The technique relies on pressure-assisted tomato extraction to concentrate lycopene and an extreme 'mantecatura' emulsion for unparalleled creaminess.
Pressure-Roasted Carrot Velouté, Brown Butter and Ginger
A spectacular modernist approach: the Maillard reaction is accelerated under high pressure in an alkaline environment to achieve intense roasted notes, bound in a silky emulsion with brown butter infused with fresh ginger.
Blender Cryo-Emulsion Raspberry Ice Cream
A disruptive modernist technique to bypass the ice cream maker. By combining the action of a hydrocolloid to trap free water and the extreme shearing force of a blender on a deep-frozen base, we mechanically recreate the texture of a pacotized ice cream, ultra-silky and creamy.
Exceptional Homemade Nociolata
A meticulous approach where gentle roasting and ultra-fine grinding of hazelnuts elevate this spread. A highly fluid texture and pure taste, without artifice.
Ultra-Silky Express Hummus: Direct Cook and Cold-Denatured Garlic
A brilliant demonstration of thermodynamic and biochemical mastery. No more 12-hour soaking: extreme pressure forces starch hydration. Raw garlic, meanwhile, is tamed by a cold enzymatic inhibition reaction, offering a purée of absolute aromatic purity in record time.
Sous-Vide Wagyu Osso Buco & Silky Saffron Polenta
A modernist reinterpretation of a Milanese monument. The Wagyu beef shank, elevated by a 48-hour sous-vide cooking, offers an extraordinary melt-in-the-mouth texture where collagen transforms into gelatin without drying out the muscle fibers. The dish is supported by an aerated blender polenta and a deeply umami mirror jus.
