We are back! After a few years on the sideline, we are back at the fabulous Santa Barbara Wine Festival at the Museum of Natural History. This year I am preparing small Soufflé Suissesse, the famed Gruyère Cheese Soufflé from Le Gavroche in London. The dish is a pillow-like soufflé that is twice baked, topped with gruyere cheese and served on a pool of reduced cream. I will be preparing over 1000 of these delights to order during the three hours of the festival. We will serve 30 pounds of Gruyère, eight gallons of cream sauce and the output of a small flock of chickens. Drop by with your oaky chardonnay of a pinot noir for a great dish!
