On 15 October 2011, in the presence of Hervé This, the physical-chemist and the co-creator of molecular gastronomy, Le Cordon Bleu chefs prepared a "Note à Note" menu for guests at the Institut des Hautes Etudes du Goût - HEG
A speciality of Andalusia, gazpacho is a cold soup prepared with tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers and onion, flavored with olive oil, red wine vinegar and Tabasco, and thickened with soft, sliced bread.
Leek and citrus pair especially well together in this month’s featured soup. Garnished with scallops and orange segments; this dish is hearty and perfect for the month of December.
