Everything around us works through the laws of physics and chemistry and if you ask me - culinary is a science. I am a scientist, a food technologist and I try to create art work in the form of delicious food using organic chemistry, biochemistry and physics.Though, apart from science culinary involves a good deal of emotions. I try to evoke emotions, curiosity and revive memories stored deeply in our minds. That's what I share with my students at the Agrarian University Culinary Academy.
Aspiki or muzhuzhi
First of all I want to stress that this dish is coming from Georgia and is already counting at least 3 centuries of existence. In Russia it came from France and like everything French, 19th century Russian high society took it enthusiastically and made it its own. The basis of this dish is collagen extracted from animal bones and tissues. Hydrolyze turns it into condensing gelatin. To leave the biochemistry aside, condensation can be done with simply boiling bony meat hard. Add some aromatic ingredients to the broth and voila - you get a nice jelly including all those pleasant tastes and scents, that a delicious soup has, but in a way comfortable form for eating.
Churros
Georgians love doughnuts and creamy buns in every shape and form. Mexicans have the similar dessert called Churros with its numerouss variations. My favorite churros are made of banana and pumpkin. Let’s make it with pumpkin this time, but keep in mind that it can be substituted with banana as well. As for the recipe, people call it "crunchy fluffy" with love – fair enough as Churros is fluffy and crunchy at the same time and you love it at the first bite.
