This is homage to summer and tomatoes. I love to use tomatoes when in season and I couldn’t help ourselves when the thought of tomato water fluid gel came to us. The tomato water/yuzu fluid gel has the bright flavors of tomatoes and yuzu but isn’t all the fuss of runny, water-like liquid. Gelling gives it the body to stand up on its own and is the perfect complement to a summer tomato salad. It also has potential for many protein dishes like fish or meat.

A fluid gel is a substance that is somewhere between a solid, and a liquid. When at rest the gel takes the form of a solid but during the shearing process becomes a liquid. I like to place it in the category of ‘pudding’ but it can vary in texture from thick to thin.
