NYCE 2013, New York Culinary Experience, Nice!




I had a wonderful time at this year's (5'th annual) NYCE New York Culinary Experience.

Over the 2-day weekend of May 4 and 5
I met and worked with chefs that I had only seen on TV, and they are very sweet in person!

Saturday morning was:
Jacques Torres and Ron Ben-Israel
Cake Decorating and Chocolate Work

Jacques Torres, (Mr Chocolate) is a pleasure to work with in the kitchen.       He is funny, always enjoying what he is doing!


Here Mr Torres says, "Watch out for this one!"

Amazingly at the same time, in the same class,
I met Ron Ben-Israel, the Sweet Genius!
I wanted to say to Ron, "I am a Salt Genius, and you?"
Mr Ben Israel is famous for his cakes and sugar paste flowers.


After morning class, the lunch speaker was Michel Nischan,

leader in the sustainable food movement, and talked about our food choices for our healthy future.






    Saturday afternoon's class was Bigeye Tuna: Head to Tail
with Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto





Chef Morimoto gave some excellent pointers
as we assembled Tuna pizza.


Here is my Tuna Carpaccio plate and Spicy Tuna Rolls.

Sunday morning's class was The Pantry at Atera, with Chef Matthew Lightner.

 
     Sweet potato Miso           

Aged Squab & stuffed Morels 

The lunch speaker was Chef Marcus Samuelsson,
who spoke about his life, career and his new book, Yes, Chef.

The afternoon class was Le Crillon Classics, with Chef Christopher Hache
