Vacuum Distilled Chilli Chocolate Truffles - without any heat
Dipping into traditional Balkan ingredients, I see... :) In case you didn't know (though likely you do) elderflower lemonade is regularly made in the northern Balkans in summer, though in a different manner than yours: elderflowers, water, sugar and a slice or two of lemon, then let it ferment in a warm place for 1-2 days to make it bubbly and slightly alcoholic. And spruce syrup is also traditional over there, made very similarly to your procedure though I prefer to use honey instead of sugar. Try it with honey, you may find it better.
👍
Have you thought of drying the dandelions to point where petals detach by shaking or would it effect the freshness part of the dandelions? Picking petals by hand seems like Noma internship level of tedious
With the dandelions the flavour is so delicate that drying / heating would substantially affect it. But it’s okay it’s not too bad of a job, It takes a couple of hours so I can even put on a film in the background while I’m doing it
Fantastic video and so smoothly edited some of the transitions are perfect. Thanks for making such good videos and it could be exciting with a video about making your own cookbook
Thank you very much!
Your video are always peaceful, refreshing and with simple brilliance. Your work also inspires me to try new things and I appreciate so much you have such ability to appreciate small things in life and share. Best to you!
Thank you so much, what a lovely compliment
@@EddieShepherd Truly you can be famous, you should invite someone like Ramsey. Of course that may conflict with simple approach to life. But you offer the genuinely unique.
This looks delicious, you attention to detail is stunning, great job dude!
Thank you! Cheers!
The quality of these videos is through the roof, excellent work man
Thanks so much 😃
can you use N02 instead?
It works ok but it is better with co2
Could you subsitute the citric acid, caster sugar and pectin with Jamsetta, it contains all 3 of those but im not sure in what ratios?
Without knowing the exact ratio’s of those ingredients it would be almost impossible to get the recipe to work correctly I’m afraid
Yup
despite you being british, i enjoyed this video.
Came here for a cooking lesson and ended up in a potions class at Hogwarts. Liked and subscribed. Absolutely loved it. Awesome. 👏👏👏
as a biochemistry student turned chef i gotta say i love love love your style of preparing vegetables.
Happy to hear that!
Just came to your most recent video to say that I’m surprised that you’re not more popular. You’re a great chef, and of this particular cuisine I don’t see many explanations behind how to create them on CZcams, especially not at quality like this. I just wanna say, thanks man. I’m planning to hopefully make your fruit glass soon for my cocktails. Keep it up!
Aw thanks so much for taking the time to leave a nice message, I really appreciate it :)
@@EddieShepherd I appreciate you. Thank you very much!
Where can I buy it and how much is it ?
Theres a link to them in the video description
@@EddieShepherd found it! thank you!
Can't seem to find a vegan elderflower honey?
You can make a sort of honey replacement from an infusion of dandelion petals, you could make that and then infuse it cold with elderflower like this recipe. Or it won’t be quite the same but you could use another heavy syrup to replace the honey and use the same method as here, ie with agave syrup - cold infuse with fresh elderflower
Please forgive my ignorance. The acidity in fermented vegetables comes from the fermentation itself (2% salt) and not from added vinegar …? I was making a brine with water/vinegar/salt/sugar but from your video I’m guessing it’s wrong.
Yes so in this fermentation the acidity is produced by the bacteria during fermentation. The 2% salt is what keeps it safe and allows the right bacteria to multiply, they then produce lactic acid making it acidic which also helps to preserve it long term. You can also preserve things by pickling them in a vinegar mixture, but then you are preserving them in vinegar / pickling them rather than fermenting them so it’s a different process and flavour. I hope that helps
2:50 bwahahahaaaa! Excellent delivery. I went through the whole joke, and then went “…wait! ‘Streets of Manchester…mousse after mousse after mousse?” Wasn’t expecting a joke, well done.
what modle is the centrifuge
I do a 5:1 (ml/dry g) mushroom extract, in a dual fraction extraction (70% water: 30% alcohol 96%). I do them separately; the alcohol one takes 1 month to be ready, and the water one takes 10 hours at 70ºC. The question is: can I combine the water and alcohol in the same flask and run the ultrasonic bath to get the tincture right?
Try ocoo double boiler !!
I did actually have one until a few months ago but I sold it in the end, I just wasn’t using it enough, I did some interesting tests but nothing that made it onto the menu or couldn’t be done another way
@@EddieShepherd What a shame ! Black sweet potato or black garlic is fantastic, lots of inspiration from Noma works with it
@@joce0557 yeah I did find it interesting but again the blackened fruit and vegetables I have other ways of doing that I tended to prefer. I found some interesting applications like pressure cooking nuts & i know the people have really liked them but I owned it for two years and I just never really found the thing with it that I really wanted to do so in the end I sent it onto another restaurant where at least it will get really well used.
One thing you didn't mention the type of oven withers convection or normal home oven
So for this I used a normal home oven but without the fan - I found that best, it will take a little adapting to anyone’s different oven
This is fantastic. i wanted to do it in years but was put off thinking it was difficult. You made it so simple thanks
That’s great to hear. They are really fun to make
Have you ever tried using one co2 and one n2o capsule on something in the 1l ISI?
I have actually yes for certain thing including a carbonated foam to go on top of a drink where I wanted a little carbonation but also the texture that n20 gives you
@@EddieShepherd Awesome! Ordered my ISI a few days ago and can't wait to experiment! Stumbled over your channel because of it and instantly binged around 30 of your videos in a day :D Definitely some of the highest quality channels ive come across on youtube! Love the way you combine the art of cooking with science and crazy attention to detail! Really impressive the things you do and how you portray and explain everything in your videos. Hope i can make it from Austria to Manchester sometime to experience your food first hand some day :)
Great content as usual! Always hyped when the notification pops up :D
Aw thanks, that’s nice to hear
Beautiful video as always Eddie! What is your weights for the elderflower verjus recipe?
I just found you recently in Yt, all your videos i have seen soo far are amazing and your ideas are creatives.
Thank you so much!
Your videos and recipes are fantastic, highlighting your dedication and how wholly connected to what you're doing the food you make, but this, being one of the simpler recipes and techniques you use it also greatly appreciated - will definitely be giving this one an attempt. On a technical note, maybe you could cover how the different infusions you do infuse - my guess is in this recipe the sugar helps this process in some way, but for elderflower they need a more acidic environment. Anyhow, thanks for these videos, they're brilliant.
Oh thank you. Yeah I want to try to have a good mix for the future of sharing some of the ‘undiluted’ more complex things I’m doing but also more accessible ideas especially with the wild ingredients :)
Gorgeous
Thank you
Love the vids, love the ethos 🙌🏻
Aw thanks very much man
Hey Eddie, I can only second many of my fore-writers, I am a photog myself (non food though), but I love cooking and Japanese cuisine, the country and its culture - dropping by your channel haphazardly this is such a great video, great content - and wonderful photography. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Aw thanks so much, thats very kind
most sophisticated video on youtube for cooking for sure!
Thanks so much :)
Thank you for your great videos. I really like your channel and kudos for you not trying to push to the mainstream. They what you are you are brilliant. Do you have a suggeston for an affordable vacuum rotary distiller as well? I know you are using one but I couldn't figure out what model you are using. Thanks for your advice.
Is that automotive antifreeze or did you add dye to your glycol for the video? I was told ethylene glycol with dye in it will ruin the internal components of my chiller.
amazing video!!
Hello Eddie, I am just taking the leap to starting my own from home catering business. Do you have any tips on the branding/photography side?
Hi. I wish you all the best with it. If it helps I have a video on food photography - Food Photography Tips czcams.com/video/V21VzG44XT0/video.html
Thanks this is a super video. I used an alembric a few years ago with a company to make my own bottle and wanted to try again and really love your advice. I looked at the UK Excise regulations today and it seems that the requirement for a rectifiers license has been removed: "It is no longer a requirement to hold a licence to rectify or compound duty paid spirits." www.gov.uk/government/publications/excise-notice-39-spirits-production-in-the-uk/excise-notice-39-spirits-production-in-the-uk#spirits-rectifiers-and-compounders It then goes on to say: "If, as a result of rectifying or compounding duty paid spirits, there is an increase in the amount of duty that would have been payable had the process been carried out before the duty point, the operation must take place in an excise warehouse."
Eddie, thank you for sharing your amazing work in such an approachable informative way. You’re an inspiration!
Could you please share your smoking technique in detail. It's interesting
Excellent technique, Eddie. Quick questions: 1. Would this mousse be stable enough (because of the agar) to use as a filling for a chocolate cake? 2. Could I replace the water with a non dairy milk to add richness/creaminess?
Ultrasonics knife might work too cheaper
Not as much power compared to a proper ultrasonic horn transducer.
Imagine filtering cold brew using something like this. The ultra-fine silt left over after cold brewing coffee clogs paper filters like mad, so being able to do a continuous extraction to clarify a liter or two of cold brew concentrate would be fantastic and you'd get some axing clarity that would really allow some of the third wave coffees to shine in cold brew format. Plus, then you could actually use ultrasonic infusion acceleration without worrying about making the silt even more pronounced.
Cheers again Eddie for your support and great video!
More Spinal video's please Eddie!
Apparently there are some issues with the rotor sticking to the center rubber piece it sits on, Dave Arnold had a video about it and said to add some tape to the rubber but if it's a problem, but that they are working on a more permanent fix. Modernist Pantry also stocks many replacement parts, at what seems to me to be reasonable prices.
Haven't had any issues with mine, first couple of uses things felt a bit stiff, but with a bit of use it really starts working well.
@punkdigerati do you have a link to that Arnold video?

First thing I tried making with my new siphon, thanks for the recipe! Mine came out a little runny... it was tasty, but not a proper mouse. Should I put the siphon back in fridge for some time after charging it?
Is the pure nice and thick? You could add another charger, shake well and chill a little. It should come out as quite a thick mousse
@@EddieShepherd , it was, but my main problems were: - not heating it up enough, so not all the sugar was completely dissolved. - not letting it set and chill for long enough And maybe afterwards I should’ve let it chill in the siphon… all lessons for next time! Thanks for this recipe though! Tastes delicious.
@@jaspervangheluwe7531 ah ok. Yes it definitely need to get to a full simmer for the sugar to discover and the agar to hydrate properly. Then it does need to fully set to a gel before blending it really well, then it can go into the whipper
Hi Eddie, I am gona start to do it... as on my experiment i want to try to separate into 3 samplers : one normal, another a part in a little pot with humebosi vinegar and another with Brottrunk Pauer Essence. What do you thing about that addings? wich % do you thing for... It's okey to add a vinegar for the fermentation? is another fermentation , I have powerfool intuition.... on ...
You shouldn’t add anything like vinegar to the miso at least until after it has fermented and then you could experiment with what you might want to do with it. Making changes to it than the ways to add flavour that I cover in the video could affect how it fence and in a worst-case scenario could even make it dangerous to consume if it hasn’t fermented in a predictable controlled way.
Amigo you are amazing 😮😊❤
