Cheese “Snow” Using Liquid Nitrogen
Here’s a cool video of Alex Talbot of Ideas In Food using liquid nitrogen to quickly freeze cheese, which is then powdered in a blender. The video is taken from a November dinner at A Razor, A Shiny Knife, Michael Cirino’s Brooklyn-based supper club.

UPDATE: Cathy Erway has a photo gallery of the entire dinner, entitled “A New Palate”, available on flickr.
Alex and his wife Aki Kamozawa are doing a hands-on workshop on “cold cooking” with liquid nitrogen on March 16th, through the Astor Center here in NYC. Sounds like fun!
This class will explore different techniques using liquid nitrogen covering basics on safety and handling and culinary techniques in order to bring cold cooking into your kitchen as a useful and efficient tool as well as an ingredient of refinement.
