I had a great time working with Chris and his team in the kitchen at noca the other evening. We were able to put out some fun dishes which worked really well with the cocktails of Jim Romdall of Vessel in Seattle. Jim and I have been teaching a class together marrying cocktails with modern cooking techniques applied to desserts and so it was fun to change things up and do it on the savory front. These are the dishes, and yes there is one dessert a take on my summertime breakfast, cornflakes and berries.
