Pecan Smoked Chinese Chicken Aspic with Walnuts and Mushrooms

Frankly I would be lying if I said that this dish wasn't inspired by Lea Linster's Aspic Duck Foie Gras Terrine dish. I set out to create something that would be pretty, presentable, simple(-er) to assemble that would also be an interesting combination of earthy flavours.

Green Tea/Lotus Leaf Smoked Teriyaki Chicken

This is actually a fusion dish I created between Chinese and Japanese cooking schools. It comprises both the subtle traditional flavours of Chinese cooking and the sweetness and presentation of the Japanese.
