  7. Fry in oil at 210 degrees until crispy.

  3. Remove from the heat and dissolve the gelatin in it.
  4. Whip the cream until it has the consistency of yogurt.
  5. Whip the egg white until fluffy.
  6. Fold the whipped cream into the Parmesan cheese mixture.
  7. Finally, fold in the fluffy whipped egg whites.
  8. Fill a piping bag and use it to fill the mold. In our case, the charcoal mold.
  9. Freeze the mold.

1. Cut small florets from the cauliflower, drizzle with olive oil, and sear with a blowtorch.

  1. Put the veal jus in a small pan and warm gently.
  2. Add a little squid ink and set aside on the workbench.
  3. Remove the Parmesan cheese mousse from the mold.
  4. Brush the frozen mousse with the veal jus and let it thaw further in the fridge.
  5. Grill the bisteca and cut to the desired size.
  6. Grill the spring onion.
  7. Warm the pumpkin puree and cauliflower puree.
  8. Sauté the beech mushrooms in olive oil with a little garlic.
