Exploding Strawberry Milkshake

So here we have another dish recently gone on our menu, influenced by my trip to 3 michelin starred Restaurant Arzak in San Sabastian. I serve a milkshake poured tableside which then starts to bubble up and sauce the rest of the plate which actually makes up the main part of the dish.

We chose many flavours from spring and summer, concentrating on berries, a jelly veil is made from an intense jus extracted from strawberries, this is draped over cheesecake mousse and then we garnish up and around the jelly with strawberries, raspberries, black and blue berries, a blackcurrant meringue, strawberry and blackcurrant fruit tuiles, Pineapple sage flowers, coriander flower, corn flowers.

Also compressed watermelon adds a little bit of extra freshness to the dish. a small amount of black olive and muscavado powder adds a little savoury touch.

The dish is finished off with a lavender Ice Cream and then of course the Strawberry milkshake poured by the waiter.

When I read the title Exploding Strawberry Milkshake, I got a shock. It sounds like war. But when I saw the video, I got double shock. Ive never seen such work before. Great work.

Brian - that look super delicious! I forgot to come by your restaurant during my recent trip to Auckland. Sigh. well, being all alone by myself doesnt help as well.

Hi Brian.
This one, for sheer entertainment value, was our favourite from Saturday (with the cherries a very close second). Thanks for looking after us - we had a very enjoyable night. Can I email you the recipe for the peanuts? You might have some fun with them (and figure out how cold my freezer needs to be).
Thanks again for some fantastic food.
