The flavour of the frozen air is quite mild on the palate so ive marinated some cucumber in a little rice wine and sugar to strengthen the cucumber flavour. Next is creme fraiche flavoured with grapefruit zest, orange zest, lemon and lime zest, then a reduced orange juice. Next is some orange jelly pearls, then chunks of the frozen cucumber. On top of that is smoked salmon roe which has been brined in an un-oaked Chardonnay and smoked with hickory. A little candied orange zest is finished on top with a couple micro celery shoots.

Slurpee
I made this little shot for a pimms canape party recently. It was served with a short straw. It is a strawberry and black pepper soup with a light cucumber foam.Recipe for the foam:
1 kg cucumber juice
12.5g versawhip
5g xantham gum
Take 400g of the cucumber juice and using a hand blender blend in the two powders. Leave to sit and hydrate for 10 minutes. Add the rest of the juice and blend once again. Place into a small hobart mixer and whisk on high speed for approximately 20 minutes until light and fluffy.
