Caracas 2008 ... my notes!
An exciting day between Chocolate, our fruit Verrines ..... Tea value from Maracaibo ... Pinot Grigio and from San Juan, Argentina, not to mention Merlin and Sunday, ... the IEPAN and The Chef Du Casseroule ... all this on my birthday in the VII International Exhibition of Food SIG Caracas 2008, Male and Female.
Much to tell, in this note, some tips of the 3 papers I chose for my visit last day of the event, but the thrill of being there ... is truly something that everyone should live and qualify ....:
1. The Chocolate has sex : Wendy Lopez gave a kind of Warm chocolate , which by now I try however, his warning very important to choose the right chocolate for the dish you are going to do, and they say, easy, for example, consider the wording fat milk and check it or not.
As an example, for Chupeta Chocolate Bread, covered with chocolate, she wears Mahogany Chocolate coverage, as it seeks a mixture fluid.
If you want something more fat, use apamate , and it is less fatty ... Gran Saman used. There he refers not to make them more or less bitter, because they are just bitter, but refers to its cocoa butter added.
The point is clear:
Know that provides a product quality preparation, and on that basis, we shall choose what best suits the finish, texture or flavor that is sought !, and of course THISIS only applies to chocolate.
For his part, Juan Carlos Bruzual , Director of IEPAN made Chocolate Bread by hand, using the type Natural Criollo, because I wanted to go tripping free chocolate mass, ie less fat.
To complete formula, place the chocolate in the fridge before integrating it into the final kneading. Very good.
2. Verrines .... with that exquisite name we could not expect less than an exquisite Rhubarb jam, this beautiful vegetables available in markets with sugar delights us with his tone acid.
Verrines ... or new tendendia of pastry, whose name comes from the French to set the glass, we can see and enjoy not only the taste, textures and flavors of the dessert, a strength of the paper by Walter .
Verrines ... of Tiramisu. and finally Zapote light cream and chocolate cream and chestnuts, with passion fruit coulis, a whole world of flavor in a cup .... sarrapia crowned ... from the city of Puerto Ordaz to the world, and is that this cute tonka beans, aromatic and intense ... is ours!
The point is clear:
For Walter, you must go to MARKET their tastes and discover beyond what we see in the supermarket all day. !
3. To say goodbye, a glass Pinot Grigio of that Bodegas Graffignia soon introduce to Venezuela from San Juan, Argentina. This white floral nose, fruity palate with nice dry finish, with its pale yellow and green notes, comes from this strain of ink skin and white flesh, not wood or friend of the guard. I wait with fond memories, I loved it.
The point is clear?
should be open to new emotions and do not miss the new proposals from the powerful Argentina on wines, because even with their special Malbec and Torrontes ... Pinot Grigio is now!.
There is more to discuss, as Kepein Tea and Salad, and new products Paisa, capybara and spider monkeys ... Cocuy Pecayero .... and more, but will bring it later when you begin to practice what I saw, or at least try.
then!.
