<span style="font-size: large;">After the most important theory part all attendees got to taste the beef cheek and carrot puree.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The dish below was produced to emphasise, how the sous vide cooking method enables chef's to create high quality food using relatively cheap and tough cuts of meat, like beef cheek. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Dandelion - Wild Endive </span><br />
All parts of the plant can be used. The young leaf's are an<br />
exceptionally nutritious food and fantastic in salads.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gorse</span><br />
Has edible flowers which are slightly bitter but also quite refreshing,<br />
they contain slightly toxic alkaloids, and should not be eaten in large quantities<br />

the first young shoots of this fragrant and pungent Mint variety<br />
can be found close to the waters edge all around the Corrib in Galway<br />
and makes for excellent tea or traditional mint sauce for the upcoming<br />
Lamb season<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Wild Primroses are tempting, but are protected so please do not pick them.</span><br />

Chapter One!!!!!!</h2>
<br />
A recent two week stage at Chapter One in Dublin, made me realise how many excellent food ingredients Ireland has to offer, as the menu features prominently the best produce from around the country. The time went by way too fast, but the experience was so much more than I had wished and hoped for.<br />
The following pictures will try to give a glimpse of the outstanding food produced at the restaurant. The skill and determination of the kitchen brigade under the constant guidance of Ross Lewis, delivers way beyond what the photographs are able to tell.<br />

With the
warm weather over the last couple of days, elder blossoms are in abundance everywhere.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The flowers can be picked throughout June and July. They make a wonderful syrup. When mixed with ice cold sparkling water the syrup turns into delicious
and refreshing lemonade. For advice on how to make the Elderflower syrup please
refer to the recipe section.</div>
