And there is a very enthusiastic young Perth chef who recently spent a month of his own time working there for free.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week he has made his debut appearance here at rochelle adonis. Coming in on his own time, driven by his passion for pastry and desserts, he will be whipping up a storm with his knowledge of exciting and ground-breaking culinary techniques. We think it is a win/win situation - we get a glimpse of what has been going on in the greater gastronomic world, and our guests will get to enjoy the final creations on our high tea dessert platters every Saturday! And this young gun, Brendan, will get to work in our kitchen and further broaden his knowledge of all things sweet.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week he brought in his siphons and popping candy to create the most delightful cup of deliciousness we have seen lately!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It all starts by pouring our vanilla bean anglaise into the siphon and charging it with a couple of No2 [nitrous oxide] bulbs. A few vigourous shakes later and you have this vanilla bean aspuma - the lightest frothiest mousse-iest stuff you can imagine. Oh so dangerously good!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next came the lemon curd.....he put his funky spin on our traditionally buttery recipe with the addition of popping candy. Shame we can't figure out how to attach a sound byte to this post, but you could actually hear it going 'snap crackle pop'.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These two elements were components of a little dessert he wanted to call "The Importance of Being Earnest" [the name's a mystery to us!]. We started with the aspuma, dollopped in the popping lemon curd, topped it with some berry compote and finished it all off with some crumbled nutty burnt butter financier.</span><br />

This causes the fat globules to start to clump. This clumping first enables tiny air bubbles to be trapped in the cream forming a relatively stable foam that we know of as whipped cream. When the agitation continues, the fat globules begin to clump so much that the air and fluid being help in place cannot be contained any longer. The foam seizes and the fat network begins to break down into large fat clusters that we call butter. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;">Are you down with all that?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />

Having never made it before, we were curious to give it a go. Turns out it’s really easy! We took our amazing Bannister Downs cream and turned it into the dreamiest, creamiest mascarpone we’ve ever tried. It doesn’t have the ‘cheesy’ rennet tang of commercially produced mascarpone, but we think it’s pretty fab.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
