I'm testing out Russian piping tips today and using each tip from the standard set of twelve so you can see how they look and where they would best be used!

If you haven't heard of them, Russian piping tips are one of the biggest new trends in cake and cupcake decorating. They pipe out almost perfect little flowers and shapes. They took a little while to get the hang of as you need to be sure to use the correct pressure and height for each tip but once I figured out how to use them properly the results were stunning.
I'm planning on using the piping tips in high end plating for a restaurant style dish but in this video I just show how each of the 12 tips looks on a piece of parchment so you can really see how the results look unobstructed. I really enjoyed testing these out and hope you enjoy using them as well!
Meringue shards look super cool and are great for adding texture to desserts. Here's a basic recipe for them. In mine I added in a bit of the corn husk ash that I made in my last video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtekx83Puxw
But you can add in any edible powders you'd like made from dehydrated or freeze dried fruits, lemon zest, orange zest etc.
We do this often in the restaurant where I work and that's how I learned how to make it but while I was doing research I found that Chef Enrique Olvera and Chef Daniela Soto-Innes seem to be the ones that pioneered this technique several years ago at a restaurant called Cosme in New York. Recipes and techniques are meant to be shared and enjoyed but with something as interesting and original as this I want to give credit where credit is due.

This ridiculously overkill hot chocolate is covered in a layer of toasted marshmallow fluff. Both components are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time for a group of people. This hot chocolate and marshmallow fluff recipe is perfect for the remaining winter days that seem to be holding on so tightly. Today I was freezing so this warmed me up a bit. Admittedly I hardly put a dent in the hot chocolate however because in the video I showcase a pretty massive portion. I'd probably cut it down to about a quarter or the size for normal service and even then that will be quite a sweet treat.

In this video I’m doing a recipe for a rich and velvety chocolate crémeux dessert with cherry compote and almond praline.
Get in touch with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chefstudio_/
Recipe for Chocolate Crémeux:
200 g chocolate
150 ml milk
150 ml cream
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
Method:
Chop chocolate and set aside in a heat proof bowl. In a pot, bring milk and cream to a simmer. While the milk and cream is heating through, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light yellow in colour. Once the milk and cream has come to a simmer, slowly stream the hot milk mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Pour this back into the pot and heat on low stirring constantly so the eggs don't over cook. You'll know when the custard is finished when it coats the back of a spoon. Pour the warm custard over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a few minutes. Whisk until smooth. Add in a pinch of salt, whisk and then cover so the crémeux doesn't form a skin. Refrigerate until set.
Recipe for Almond Praline:
100 g almonds
200 g sugar
1 tbsp water
pinch of salt
Method:
In a pot, combine almonds, sugar and water. Cook on medium until sugar becomes a dark caramel colour. Remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt then transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside to cool and harden. Once cool, pulse in a food processor or bash up with a rolling pin to create small pieces.
Cherry Compote Recipe:
300 g pitted cherries
100 g sugar
1 tsp corn starch
Method:
Stir together sugar and corn starch then add in the cherries. Stir and cook on low for 15 minutes until cherries have softened.
Transfer to a bowl or container and set in the fridge to cool.

I'm showing you how to make plated, lemon cheesecakes and explaining how bumblebees and mathematics inspired the finished dish.
The finished dish is comprised of a lemon cheesecake mousse, a graham cracker crust and the soft matte finish is done with edible velvet, cocoa butter spray. I thought it gave the cheesecakes the look of bee pollen and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. The trick if you decide to use cocoa butter spray though is whatever your coating needs to be frozen solid.
The Hexagon is the second dish in a five part series called Flight of the Bumblebee, made possible by Sony Alpha and the Sony Alpha Female+ Grant. The series features five dishes inspired by seasonality and the magic of bees.

Today, I'm showing you how to make cranberry curd. I thought with the Christmas and holiday season coming up it might be fun to put a spin on lemon curd by using cranberries instead. By using cranberries I ended up with a beautiful vibrant pink/ red curd that's perfect for adding colour and flavour to seasonal desserts.
Ingredients:
250 g (approx. 2 and 1/2 cups) frozen cranberries
100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
250 m (1 cup) water
3 egg yolks
50 g (1/4 cup) sugar
60 g (approx. 4 tbsp) butter
//FAQ
How long can I store the Cranberry Curd in the fridge?
1-2 weeks
How can I use the cranberry curd? What will go well with?
On pancakes, on scones, in crepes, in a seasonal Christmas pavlova, fold through whipped cream/diplomat cream and use in choux pastries, use to top thumbprint cookies, give a small jar as a gift, use as a filling for tarts, use in parfait or add to white chocolate mousse.
Can I use fresh cranberries?
Yes, but the weighted amounts will be different than what is listed above so you'll have to experiment a bit!

Recipe:
250 ml prosecco
6 g agar agar
25 g sugar
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a pot. Set over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a smaller bowl so the mixture doesn't cool to quickly. Use a dropper to drop the gummy bear mix into silicone gummy bear moulds. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until completely cooled and firm. Pop them out and serve. If you want a chewier, more traditional gummy texture, let them dehydrate overnight on a drying rack.
