Description
We opened a bag of jelly babies and mixed in were strawberry sweets and some red liquorice rolls with a fizzy sugar coating. To taste clotted cream, cocoa nibs, tonka beans and nougat while on the spicy end of the spectrum, we had chewy chocolate gingerbread cookies loaded with all the festive spices. Following reduction one panellist was transported back to early childhood with an apricot, peach and golden raisin puree, while others got the scent of white chocolate cranberry fudge. Meanwhile on the palate, still some tingling spice as we infused turmeric, ginger and orange zest with boiling water to make a turmeric tonic sweetened with agave nectar.
