In this post I’m going to focus on using sodium alginate in a process know as ‘Reverse Spherification’ to create orbs about the size of an egg yolk, which hold their shape but burst into liquid in the mouth. This fantastic technique can be both really enjoyable to experiment with and give you some delicious results with a novel texture/eating experience. And when creatively and intelligently applied Spherification, and the principles behind it, can open up a world of new culinary possibilities and help us create extraordinary dishes.
