Presentation

Learn how each chef uses techniques and ingredients to create their own style

In this course you will see Francesca and James adapt various preparations to their perspectives.

Francesca shows us what signature cuisine is for her: a harmonious fusion with touches from Southeast Asia and the Peruvian Amazon. For her, representing each cuisine is a challenge that requires arduous research. Finding the connection between both cultures is about knowing how to match the profile of local flavors and techniques.

James will share some recipes from his restaurant, Cosme. He makes a compilation of recipes that are Peruvian in essence, with touches from other cuisines, resulting in an innovative proposal that takes advantage of advanced culinary techniques.

What you'll learn

Apply molecular gastronomy and other advanced techniques to take each dish to another level

In this course you will learn to apply molecular techniques: thickening, gelling, emulsions, textures, and dehydration . You will also learn how to incorporate elements using state-of-the-art tools such as the siphon and the sous-vide machine.

Each chef will show us dishes with technique, creativity and sophistication. With Francesca we will see how to create a fake tofu, gels, a veil and various sauces, in addition to the secrets needed to make unleavened and siphon bread.

James will focus on transforming traditional preparations through innovation, such as a deconstructed dessert of yesteryear, and a potato foam made with its own starch.
