Texture

From raspberry glass to slimy fresh eel, texture can make or break a dish.  The fascination with texture allows us to take something as simple as a beautiful sweet plump scallop and turn it into a firm and juicy delicacy as it is cooked.  On the other hand, a firm green apple is transformed into a gooey apple marmalade after long hours simmering on the stove.  Experiencing texture is magical to the diner – texture enables flavors to become bolder, colors crisper and a meal more exciting!
