The Enlightened Brandenburg Cuisine - by The Edible Table
HERMANN'S
Fri 20 Sep 19.00 - 22.30
HERMANN'S Berlin Torstraße 116-118 10119 Berlin
The ‘Edible Table’ is an initiative from renowned food architect Brent Richards and food entrepreneur and innovator Hannes Nimpuno. Together they present a revolutionary dinner titled ‘The Enlightened Brandenburg Cuisine’. Referring to the reforming Age of Enlightenment the producers propose a ten-course dinner with paired drinks using old recipes from the 18th and 19th century as a culinary foundation then re-interpreting them in a 21th century context using modernistic and molecular cuisine techniques. The first of many dinners will be hosted at HERMANN’S on Friday the 20th of September.
The Menu
Forgotten or rarely used Brandenburg ingredients such as stinging nettle, pheasant, very little-known freshwater fish and crayfish as well as Teltow turnip and sea buckthorn are some of the ingredients used to create dishes such as -
· Truffle mousse eggs, filled with a honey pearl, placed in a potato crisp nest with a creamy mushroom sauce
· Pheasant pierogi with pheasant reduction, crispy stinging nettle, candied and pickled baby onions, dehydrated confit pheasant jerky and pickled blackberry
· Reduced dill milk ice cream with pickled and vacuumed Spreewald cucumber, dill oil and caramelized milk skin
*There is a vegetarian menu option available on advance request. Unfortunately, we are unable accommodate any other dietary requirements on this occasion.
