Last week Friday, we had our first black box competition. Chef gave us each a tray of ingredients; I had coffee beans, red chili threads, rose water extract, raspberry jam, and peanuts. I could not think of anything to make! Even after looking online, I still didn't have any ideas for the main part. I ended up making a coffee peanut cheesecake, with pear chili coulis and a raspberry rose coulis. The cheesecake crust was cookie crumbs and peanuts. I didn't use any recipes for anything. I love not using recipes because it gives you tons of freedom.
After lunch three judges came in and tasted our creations, Everyone came up with something totally unique and delicious!
