I am happy to have been invited as a plenary speaker to both teach the first Sonic Mixology class at the Farm to Table International meeting, but to also speak on the Pharmacology of Flavor in New Orleans this weekend. It will be an exciting time and participants in the class will work with the Turbo Sonic Mixer to create fat washings, shrubs, extractions, shelf stabilization during the one hour class.
It's always gratifying when you read someone's post about a class you taught and see that they "GOT IT!" Maren Swanson has written an accurate summary of some of the key points of my class and I thought you might enjoy reading her blog "Pour Play", so skip right along to "18 Shades of Basil: Dr Larrian Gillespie on Scents, Sex and Cocktails" on her blog LiveHappyHour.com and see what you missed.
Here are some great shots taken by Allison Webber Photography during my class on the Pharmacology of Flavor at the Golden State of Cocktails in Los Angeles.
Louis Anderman of Miracle Mile Bitters volunteered to demonstrate the effect of texture on our perception of flavor. No cheating!
Browsing through the photos/movie from last year's inaugural Golden State of Cocktails event, I discovered a nice segment shot during my attendance at Gaby Mlynarczyk's presentation.
