Today I spent the better part of the afternoon attempting to marry smoked sage with a deconstructed blackberry custard, an idea that keeps the kitchen alive even when the timer is stubborn. The precision of the measurements feels like a dance with a stubborn partner, and I’ve already lost two servings to over‑whipped batter. Yet every tiny imperfection reminds me of that first batch of molecular ganache that almost turned into a science experiment gone wrong. I’m pleased the fire is contained, though I’m still chasing that elusive balance between daring and decorum. #culinaryalchemy #obsession 🔥
