Notes
To Assembly: on a flat plate paint a wide streak with the Jerusalem artichoke cream. With a condiment squeeze bottle place various dots alongside of the streak. Sprinkle the herb powder over the streak. Place the rack of lamb in the center of the streak. Carefully place the isomalt ajoaceite globes taking care not to touch the cream to avoid the globes collapsing.
Marcelo Alejandro Altamiranda Zorrilla
Marcelo Altamiranda was studying system analysis but he grew bored, and after doing a cooking course in his native Argentina fell in love with the profession. This was the beginning of a journey that would take him to the U.S., France, and Spain where he has resided since 2004. Everywhere he has worked has left its mark: from the U.S., the merging of cultures, from France, the technique and from Spain, the appreciation for gastronomy.
