Tomato Water-Yuzu Fluid Gel

Tomato Water-Yuzu Fluid Gel

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.

Fluid Gels and How to Apply Them
