From the Juicer: Asian Pear, Basil and Lemon Juice

This juice combines the delicate, floral sweetness of Asian pear with sophisticated, complex basil and a generous splash of bright, tart lemon. A little bit of celery brings it all together for a smooth finish. It’s interesting without being too crazy, as evidenced by the fact that my two pre-teen taste testers not only didn’t roll their eyes at it but seemed to genuinely enjoy it.

Chefs Preview Surface Tension-Based Cocktail Garnishes

carmendrahl writes "Last fall, MIT researchers made news for developing two bioinspired cocktail toppers– a moving cocktail boat and a floral pipette– in collaboration with James Beard Award-winning chef José Andrés. Both the boat and floral pipette operate by taking advantage of surface tension– either to propel the boat forward or to keep small drops of liquid inside the flower’s petals. Some of those early garnishes were nominally edible. But to make them worthy of a restaurant debut requires balancing of flavors, temperature, density, and alcohol content, among other factors. Here’s a look inside Andrés’ company ThinkFoodGroup to see how the project is coming along. The toppers aren’t available to the public just yet."
