Just
wanted to say Happy New Year to you all, and share what Michele and I
enjoyed for our final meal of 2010. The first course was a superb
Moroccan-style chicken crépinette seasoned with preserved lemon from Fatted Calf. I served it over a salad of raw, shaved asparagus, and garnished with kumquats candied in a chili syrup.
For
our main course I continued my exploration into equipment-less sous
vide, which produced the finest duck breast I've ever eaten. I served it
with a huckleberry gastric, and green lentils, The meat was perfect
beyond description. I can't wait to show you how amazing and simple
doing sous vide cooking at home actually is. Stay tuned!
