Underground Kitchen SF

I applied to your facebook group too although I appreciate and understand you have a big group! My friends and I in the bay area enjoy getting together for this type of cooking too.

p.s. I think I sat near one of your members, the one in the chef whites, at a Clojure workshop in Seattle back in April haha.

What was particularly challenging about the meal?

Well the planning process and organizing/splitting up all the tasks between everybody is always the hardest part for these meals...

The black truffle explosion was difficult to form into pasta. It took us about 10 of them before we finally got the technique down.

Assembling the hot potato cold potato was challenging to balance so it wouldn't tip over.

Also the layering process behind the cucumber mango bites was quite difficult to get it to look correct.

Great work! Jealous that you have such a great group to cook with.

Any tips for black truffle explosion? I have the ingredients, and plan to cook it at home as an adventurous twist for dinner for some friends later in the fall.

If you haven't worked very much with pasta dough I would recommend multiplying the recipe by about 1.5 or 2 in order to allow for any mistakes.

I would also make sure to test your raviolis in boiling water to make sure that you have the technique down for sealing and getting all the air out of the pasta.
