my yuzu balls

Lunch today was a blast – all our guests got to try my Yuzu Balls!

Yuzu looks like a tangerine and tastes similar to a floral lime.  It has three times more vitamin C than a lemon,with a potent juice, which is both citrusy and aromatic.

There’s no Western equivalent – it’s a complex flavour with hints of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit. Yuzu is so flexible it can be used in savoury dishes, matching particularly well with fish, as well as cocktails and desserts.  I use something similar to Agar Agar to molecularly change it into my yuzu balls which are then served in  the ‘Aquarium’ – see our Menu.

My bit of fun with lunch today gave my guests a great tale of gastronomy to head back to Sweden with.
