  1. Composition

     

    “I chose citrus fruit spontaneously as I like the diversity and depth they give to a dessert. I added vanilla pod at the heart of my creation to give roundness to the dish. During my years of training, I discovered more exotic and specific citrus fruit such as kalamansi and yuzu, which I use in my creation.
    I wanted to try out Szechuan pepper to spice up my dessert and give it more flavour by combining it with Cress and add an additional refreshing hit”.
