A life lesson conducted by Masterchef Jean Torné, on the opening weekend of the Jumpstart residential programme held at Oxon Hoath in Kent. Once again Jean presents an extraordinary invitation for exploring our relationship with food and cooking. He invites the class to bring an awareness to our engagement with food which takes it into an evolutionary context. ‘In the kitchen, we create life.’ In keeping with the invitation to look at food with new eyes, we encounter certain alien ‘creatures’ supplied by Global Organics which challenge our perceptions, and preconceptions.
Red Cauliflower, after being blanched, transforms into vivid purple Beings.
Tomatoes anyone? Not the prepacked, uniform, tasteless variety we are familiar with, but the explosions of colour and flavour of Heirloom Tomatoes.
Rows of Sardines, fresh from the Sea, prior to coating in Sea Salt and plain flour and Panfrying.
