Receive Text UpdatesI would say my signature isn’t a dish but a multi course meal. After cooking many weddings and tasting themed menus I have discovered my signature in the execution of small bites and displays that are all revolutionary. Example melon tree. Melon spheres Compressed with infusions and displayed on a tree. Edible thread connects spheres honey, matcha, miso caramel, pistachio are just a few of the garnishes. Purpose: display for gala.
