There are two types of spherification. First you can take a liquid, such as juice or puree, add a minute amount of calcium salt (Calcic) and drop them into a bowl of alginate (Algin - a natural product extracted from brown algae) and water. They will form tiny balls of jelly that resemble caviar.
Reverse spherification is when you take a liquid containing a mixture of two calcium salts (Gluco: calcium gluconate and calcium lactate) and submerge it in a bath of alginate (Algin) and water.
Cooking methods included poaching in a broth, steaming and pan-frying with dipping sauces to match.
