Author Notes
This is a recipe that has been on the “to make list” for a while. I can not remember how I came across it but was instantly drawn to the incredibly beautiful photographs in an article about Mikkel Karstad’s new book. I have not heard of Mikkel before but as the article pointed out he was head chef at the Danish parliament and a few Michelin starred restaurants. But I guess the kicker was being gastronomic advisor to Claus Meyer who co-founded Noma.
As I scrolled down I saw the recipe for Flamed Strawberries. It reminded me of a recipe I saw in an Anthony Bordain episode about Noma, where one of the chefs experimented with strawberries pickled in rose vinegar with creme fraiche infused with burnt rose. How amazing does strawberries pickled in rose vinegar sound? If anyone has an idea of how to make rose vinegar please let me know. —heinstirred
