Recently, I took a class at ICE. The class was given by my long time hero chef Michael Laiskonis from Le Bernardin. In fact, I have never been to the restaurant yet (I want to so bad....). Only time I saw him before is at the food & wine show in NYC last year. Usually, to like chefs, I need to go to restaurants to eat their desserts, and I fall in love with what he or she does. It is not too easy to happen to me though...
However, Chef Michael, he is an exception. From the moment I saw his blog, I couldn't stop thinking about having his desserts, meeting him and learning from him. I was inspired by how much he is generous about sharing what he tries or what he learns everyday in the kitchen to everyone. And he is always trying something new!
At the class, we learned how to use herbs in the desserts.
I love herbs in general, especially in savory cooking. But, it was nice to know how to combine those herbs into ice cream and mousses. My favorite one in the class is Rosemary Ice Cream.
It was such a good experience for me.
I feel that a lot of times people are too busy and tired from what they have to do everyday. However, if you take a small extra effort, there are so many new and inspiring opportunities waiting out side of their everyday circle.
