the 50 best restaurants in the world. Their cuisine is
described as creative, surprising and highly innovative. And
with those three qualities, they present their signatures in this
masterclass. Furthermore, you will learn all about their two
favourite ingredients - truffle and algae - in 4 extended
episodes. Challenge yourself and use your imagination in

method Then drain, put a large cooking pot with the indicated water
over medium-high heat and add the blanched bones. Bring

Every hour, remove the layer of fat that forms on the
surface. After the cooking time, pour the broth through a

2 For the jelly macaroni; Heat the ham broth, add the soy
sauce and season with salt if necessary. Add the

Then dry well and dip into the broth for 7 seconds. The broth
has now attached itself to the steel tubes. Cut it loose if
necessary and carefully slide the jelly tubes off the steel.
Repeat this step for the number of servings needed. We
need about 10 tubes of 4 cm per person. Then store the

by one in the whipping cream dispenser and release the
gas. Shake the bottle up and down a few times and check if
the foam is the right thickness. (Tip: You can prepare the
foam well in advance. Warm it up in a hot water bath
shortly before serving).

juice and blend with a hand blender. Then add the xanthan
and mix again briefly so that everything is well dissolved.

5 For the corn balls; Fold the baking paper into the shape of a
cone. Pierce the cones somewhere so they stay upright. Fill
a syringe or squeeze bottle with the corn cream. Gently

remove them with a slotted spoon and immediately put
them in the cones made of baking paper until they are full.

centre of a plate. Distribute some small amounts of mole
sauce, fried bacon, yoghurt and corn puree next to the dish.
