This morning concluded with our first cooking demonstration on board ship. Let me tell you that cooking in a pendulum where you have to procure ingredients from the bowels of the beast is not as easy as they let on. With that said, we had a tremendous time working out the finer points of the three recipes, truly working together as an improvisational act.
The menu was Lobster in Three Services:
Lobster Broth
fried dumplings, celery leaves, shiitake mushroom
Lobster Salad
avocado larded with vanilla bean, banana guacamole, scallion-lime relish
Lobster Sausage and Peppers
green and black olives, basil, fresh mozzarella
And here are a few action shots as well.
We are waiting to see the actual show on DVD. If it is any good and we can edit it perhaps we will drop some content here as well.
