I make a dish using maple in a number of ways. First I make a maple sponge toffee with sea salt, then a classic maple taffy rolled onto a wooden stick in the snow (in this case crushed ice) and finally I use maple sugar in my small cotton candy machine to make maple cotton candy.

This dish is inspired by my experience at sugar shacks in the early spring. Making maple taffy in the snow is such a powerful memory I wanted to recreate it here in an interesting way with nostalgia at its core. I used a cool wooden bowl I found out shopping to represent the "trough," then filled it with ice to represent the experience of rolling the taffy. Since this dish isn't super balanced flavour wise (it is mostly just sugar) I would most likely serve it as a part of a larger tasting menu and not as a dessert on a standard menu. Regardless had some fun playing around with maple and using it in different ways. This dish essentially shows that you can get three completely different textures from one ingredient.
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.

I've lived in Scotland for the past few years and wanted to create this series as a love letter to the place I call home. I had originally intended to film and create the series in Scotland but when I came back to Canada during the pandemic I found myself unable to return. I decided, instead of feeling down about it, I would create something.
This is the first of what are hopefully many seasons of Chef Studio, an immersive, artistic, food and cooking show focused on creating dishes inspired by the world around us. Each season, the subject will change and the subject can be almost anything. This season is inspired by the lands and lochs of Scotland.

My first attempt at a travel video from my time in Calabria Italy! I was in Calabria for cooking school and had the chance to take some cool video which I hope you guys enjoy. I filmed this with my iphone 6 and Go Pro Hero 3 and am pretty happy with how it turned out!
I loved being able to travel around and try many of the local food, dishes and delicacies.

After several attempts I’ve finally got the recipe down for a creamy, pudding like, flexible pumpkin pie. If you feel like adding a little molecular gastronomy to your Thanksgiving or Christmas table this year, give this recipe a go, it’s not as hard as you might think :)
Connect with us: https://www.instagram.com/chefstudio_/
Recipe For Flexible Pumpkin Pie:
200 g pumpkin puree
200 g cream
45 g golden syrup
1 tbsp Pumpkin spice
35 g dark brown sugar
1.5 g agar agar
200 g white chocolate
12 g (4 sheets or 8 half sheets) gelatine
Method:
In a bowl of cold water bloom 12 g of gelatine. In a separate bowl place 200 g chopped white chocolate or white chocolate buttons and set aside. In a pot, combine, cream, pumpkin puree, golden syrup, pumpkin spice, dark brown sugar and agar agar powder. Heat on medium low stirring constantly until the mixture has come up to a boil for a minimum of 1 minute. It must boil or the agar won’t properly set.
Once the gelatine has bloomed (takes about 5 minutes), squeeze out the excess water and add to the white chocolate. Pour the hot pumpkin mixture over this and stir with a spatula until white chocolate and gelatine are melted and combined and the mixture is smooth. I’ve done this before using a stick blender and I find that it creates a lot of bubbles in the final product, I wanted this to be denser and more pudding like.
Once the mixture is totally smooth, pour it into an online baking sheet or tin and set in the fridge. It takes about an hour or so to set if it’s thin and you can tell when it’s done setting by touching it gently with your finger or giving the tin a jiggle.
Cut into strips, use cookie cutters or slice into little triangular pie shapes like I’ve done here. I served mine with some crushed up pie crust crumble and whipped cream though you can serve yours however you want.

Here's a recipe for ridiculously smooth and creamy parsnip purée. A few ingredients, a little time to meld, followed by some rigorous blitzing action courtesy of your stick blender, vitamix or regular blender and you're left with a gorgeous, rich, and creamy purée that pops on any plate. This goes really well with meat, fish and veg dishes and the bright white colour of the parsnip purée looks fantastic on dark dishes.
Recipe for Parsnip Purée:
500 g parsnips, peeled and chopped
300 ml cream
2 cloves of garlic
50 g butter
salt to taste
Method:
Peel and chop parsnips into even sized pieces. Place in a pot with two cloves of garlic, cream, butter and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 15-20 minutes until parsnips are extremely soft. Blitz using a blender or stick blender. Serve.
I served mine with a gremolata type thing in olive oil. It was just some chopped parsley, chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon zest and salt.

I was moving apartments over the Canadian thanksgiving weekend so I decided to have a belated thanksgiving at my new place for a few of my work colleagues here in Edinburgh. Just thought it would be fun to bring you around with me a little bit and follow along on a bit of a chill day of cooking that isn't so rigid as my other videos. This is the type of cooking I really like to do when I can have a glass of wine and just chill out and cook for people I care about. Hope you guys enjoy it :)
