A Dessert Not Easily Forgotten

Four months ago while my cousin was visiting from Toronto, I took her to The Prado in Balboa Park for a foodie lover's paradise. And as those who know me at all, paradise must include a fabulous dessert. This dessert was suited for such a hot day as it was and the combination of I believe it was three different sorbets was reminiscent of a ice-cream bomb done in a daintier manner. The sorbet trio was placed in an entirely edible almond-brittle bowl, held to the plate with a zig-zag of raspberry sauce. To me the most intriguing aspect was the multi-colored sugar sculpture that organically set in the sorbet as its own artistic sculpture. Bravo Prado on your dessert concoction that I will never forget especially since I made a blog about it.

The Creative Genius of Rodger

Rodger is the creative genius behind this innovative dessert at Sushi Puzzle in San Francisco, CA. On the spoons, there is a combination of lychee and raspberry sorbet, and on the outside are slices of wasabi cheesecake. Wasabi cheesecake? I know it sounds strong, but the wasabi flavor was subtle because of course Rodger used fresh wasabi. To eat this dessert, you took a little of the cheesecake and a little of each sorbet and then ate them together. The combination was refreshing with the sorbet and slightly tangy with the wasabi cheesecake. Rodger, you have done it again, and now I am left only to dream about this creatively unique dessert.
