A Spherification workshop
With Chef Cory Campbell of The Grove Restaurant, unlocked new skills for our Diploma chefs using products and techniques refined by Albert and Ferran Adria at El Bulli Restaurant, Spain around 2003. The students then went on to experiment with their own dishes.
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.
