This photoblog was created in an effort to create a more revolutionary view of food in the food world. In the complexity of fine dining and everyday fooding alike, the essence of the individual ingredients is often lost. In the present day, original ingredients are manipulated in such radical ways that the nature of individual components are either augmented or suppressed. The goal of this photoblog is not only to capture the unprecedented ways single ingredients are crafted into key or accessory ingredients of dishes, but also to establish a database for the curious.
The egg is one of the most versatile ingredients in the world. Eggs, especially chicken eggs, are universal, included in many dishes as either the key or accessory ingredient, and can be consumed in many different forms. In fact, approximately 5 billion eggs are consumed per year in America. What better ingredient to launch this photoblog with other than the very familiar, seemingly mundane, but surprisingly exciting egg?
With that said, cheers and bon appetit!

Description: Byrrh, egg white, lemon juice, rye toasted bay leaf
Use of egg: Egg white foam
Taste: Tangy, smooth, light, delicious. The toasted bay leaf as an aromatic ingredient is a subtle but sweet touch. Definitely one of my favorite dinner cocktails in LA thus far. The egg white was a very delicate addition to this mouthwatering, summery cocktail.
Notes: Where is this delicious cocktail at? Bestia, of course. On a busy night, it's best to come after dinner rush or hang out at the bar while sipping one of these amazing concoctions.
