Today was one of the coldest days i remember for a long long time...like bone chilling.. even in the warmth of my kitchen i couldn't shake the bone chill from my morning commute...prep was a breeze so i started putting together my valentines day menu..which will be a post in itself and me and Chester started to work on our still untitled cookbook.. he currently has about 12 original recipes to my 0.... i 'll Catch up I'm sure. We busted one of them out today...even though its a bit off season i think with a little refinement it will be an amazing dish, it consisted of jumbo sea scallops sous vied with vodka,strawberries,lemongrass,and ginger and banana peppers. the scallops are shocked then caramelized on one side leaving the other cooked through but with the tenderness of a raw scallop i didn't see what else went into it (busy trying to warm up) .but i did get to taste it and i thought it was brilliant.lite refreshing something perfect for summer...its kinda funny on the coldest day of the year making a dish that can be described as "summer in a glass"......
