Aspic of the week!

It's the clown of the Aspic-world.

Monday Aspic

To be honest I am a bit jealous of the 80's chef. It seems to be that life was simpler then, you don't have to source organic truffles soaked in Suri Cruise's tears to impress your dinner guests. You did't have to go on shows like 'Come dine with me' and make a fool out of yourself in order to prove that you knew your way around the kitchen. All you had to do was master the noble art of gelatin and have a slightly pedantic streak (you don't want those cauliflower florets to set in far too abstract patterns).

Aspic-tastic!

Nothing says 'fancy' as a shellfish aspic. The aspic hasn't had a notable presence on the modern dining table, personally I can't see why. It's highly instragramable. The shine, the wobble, the SEE-THROUGHNESS OF IT ALL. Simply glorious.
