We prepared a tiramisu with juicy, sweet red gooseberries alongside plum jam, and sweet and savoury pretzels which had been dipped in lye, before baking and toasting brioche. On the palate we found a sweetness next to a delicate sourness, like a fruit salad of strawberries, melon, kiwi and pineapple with a drizzle from a dressing made using lime juice, honey, salt and cayenne pepper.
Following reduction, notes of yeast, white bread and buttery shortbread appeared, as well as vanilla, toasted almonds and dried apricots. To taste, the fruitiness came to the fore next to the gentle smokiness emanating from a caramel crème brûlée.
