It was a huge success at my restaurant.

I'm glad it worked out well for you! Trig,

I hope you’ll write up a blogpost on this ;) Interesting point there with the leaves vs. stalks. I’m glad it worked out well for you!

I had a little experiment with strawberry and coriander as a canapé at college the other day, and I can reveal it pleased and surprised even the most conservative of my guinea pigs. I made a standard sugar syrup (50:50 sugar and water) which I infused with a handful of coriander stalks. I'm sure you already know that the majority of the flavour in coriander is found in the stalks, not in the leaves themselves. I tasted the syrup and to my delight it had the amazingly recognisable aroma and flavour of coriander. I then lightly poached some diced strawberries in the syrup, which gave it their flavour and wonderfully sensual colour. I then combined the poached strawberries with some finely chopped coriander leaves and placed spoonfuls of the mix onto round canapé spoons. Each spoonful was then topped with a thin slice of fresh strawberry and a single coriander leaf, which I then glazed with a little of the syrup. I really enjoy trying new things and I do get a bit fed up with being labelled Blumen Hestonthal every day at college, so it gives me such satisfaction when I get the opportunity to use my curiosity and skills to prove to people that experiments like this are not merely gimmicks or novelties. Thanks for the inspiration! Success!!

It is not completely horrible but that is not good enought to force it upon dinner guests. Strawberries are much nicer with various kinds of basil, mint and. if correctly balanced with tarragon. Black pepper och makrut lime leaves are nice too. I tried this combo on numerous occasions some years ago and did not think much of it.

Calum,
I think balancing flavours has been one of the biggest challenges in the last rounds of TGRWT.

The strawberry taste was very nice, but the coriander just didn't come through. Perhaps more next time, or a drizzle of coriander leaf oil on the top. Just needs something to accentuate the coriander taste. I'll have a go at coming up with something else. I was thinking of a strawberry and coriander cream enrobed in chocolate, maybe with a candied coriander leaf on top.

He wrote, that it is the key aroma in green tea. Very interesting. You find it here: www.teeverband.de (Gesundheit -> Wissenschaft). I've had problems locating the deep link, sorry.
