EXPERIMENT

What happens when you marinate burrata in white miso for 2 hours before serving? And does burnt honey actually work as a sweet-salty contrast?

RESULT

Yes — completely. The miso adds a quiet depth that you feel more than taste. The burnt honey cuts the richness perfectly. It looked almost too simple on the plate but tasted like something from a restaurant I couldn't afford.

EXPERIMENT

Testing whether sumac can do what lemon does in a cure — acidity without liquid. Cured for 4 hours with sumac, salt, and a little sugar.

RESULT

It works differently than lemon. More floral, less sharp. The salmon stayed firmer and the color was spectacular — deep coral with a purple blush. The yogurt flatbread was essential, not optional.
