So Busy...

It's been really busy at work...due to the fact that a lot of different magazines have covered us. We are rated on citysearch, zagat and gayot. Gayot rated us as one of LA's top ten hottest restaurant. So it's been non stop since my last post. We've added a few new desserts and also changed some of the plating around.

One of the new dessert is Peach Citrus. It's a warm peach salad tossed in a sweet balsamic reduction with different citrus fruits like Grapefruit, orange and blood oranges. It is served with a martini glass that is layered with Lychee Gelee, Mint Gelee, Vanilla Yogurt mousse and topped with an Apricot Spiced Caramel sauce. On the side is Peach sorbet with a citrus tuile!

Another is Cherry Mon Cheri...flourless chocolate cake with layers of Dark chocolate mousse and white chocolate mousse. A shooter of Cherry smoothie and some flambeed Cherries in a Cherry Sherry sauce. For ice cream is a Ciabatta Bread ice cream.

Our newest addition is the Hazelnut Caramal soup served with vadouvan foam. On the side is a slice of traditional Breton Cake from the French region of Brittany. A french macaroon with Hibiscus gelee and a banana marshmellow. The ice cream on this plate is Guinness Ice cream.

I've always felt that the ice cream is the star of the plate...but that's just me. I love the different flavors that we play with...
