Get to Know Gastronomy + A Raspberry Iced Vovos Recipe

Modern Wedding Posted: May 12, 2015

It’s food, but not as you know it. For Sydney catering company, Gastronomy, the task of feeding a crowd is not merely a matter of satisfying hunger, it is a multi-sensory experience that reaches far beyond the plate…

Gastronomy Catering Company Menu

We love the idea of sharing more than a meal with your wedding guests, and the team at Gastronomy specialise in providing just that. Behind this multi-award winning company are the minds, eyes and hands of four energetic creators. Director Miccal Cummins, brings his background in painting and fashion design and 16 years of multi award winning catering experience, while Creative Director Marcus Longinotti’s fresh eyes challenge existing norms with his international event experience in global lifestyle and fashion brands.

Gastronomy Catering Food

Executive Chef Cyril Miletto brings a finesse of flavour and delicacy of touch, honed across the best kitchens of Europe and Asia. Head Chef George Sinclair’s enticing rusticity and handling of ingredients speak of a man well-travelled who understands how cooking and eating make people happy.

Gastronomy-Barramundi

“We place huge importance on creating beauty for our customers,” says Marcus, “and this means a constantly creative process. Food, fashion and design are always at the forefront, we adapt elements that resonate with us to create ideas that are Gastronomy. Whether these evolve into a deft flavour pairing or colours for food styling, we live to create. Fresh and relevant is what insatiable Sydney desires.”

Gastronomy Catering Food

You can check out Gastronomy’s latest menu #rusticolour here, described as “a thrilling combination of textures and flavours, including deft Asian as well as European technique. Textured plates and “stylists own” midcentury modern details work hand in glove with the alternately robust and delicate colours and flavours of Executive Chef Cyril Miletto and Head Chef George Sinclair.” As well as creative and innovative menus, Gastronomy also offer gluten free, vegetarian and vegan menus! Check out all of Gastronomy’s menus.

To celebrate food and all things flavoursome, Gastronomy Pastry Chef, Lee Turford, shared their take on the Australian classic, Iced Vovos. These are perfect to serve at a bridal shower or kitchen tea, paired with a cup of tea or even a glass of champagne!

Raspberry Iced Vovos

Gastronomy Iced Vovos

Makes 60 petits fours
These hold well for 3 days once baked

The biscuit base

Ingredients
125g butter
1/3 of a cup plus 1 dessertspoon icing sugar
1 ¼ cups plain flour
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon vanilla paste

Method

Beat the butter, vanilla and all the icing sugar until it is smooth
Add the yolk until combined
Sift together the flour and salt
Add to the butter and mix by hand until it is just combined. Don’t over work the dough, as it will lose its nice short texture, which allows it to melt in the mouth
Between two sheets of baking paper roll the dough out to about 3mm thick
Rest the rolled dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes
Cut with a fluted cookie cutter of about 45mm diameter
Put onto a baking tray lined with greased baking paper or silicon mat. Space the biscuits out as they will spread a little during baking
Dock each biscuit by making 6-8 holes with a fork. Docking the biscuit it will avoid any air bubbles from forming underneath during cooking, which can result in an un-even surface
Rest again on the bench for a further 30 minutes
Bake at 150°C (140°C fan forced) for up to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown
Leave to cool

Raspberry jam jelly

Bought jam can be used but here is a good jam recipe if you want to go completely from scratch as we do in our kitchen

Ingredients
150g frozen raspberries
½ teaspoon pectin NH
5 dessertspoons caster sugar
1 dessertspoon lemon juice

Method
Bring the raspberries to the boil
Add the pectin NH and sugar to the raspberries
Boil for 2 min, add lemon juice, combine and remove from heat
Strain out the seeds by pressing the mix through a strainer, discard the seeds
Cool and refrigerate

Marshmallow mix

Ingredients

10g gelatine sheets (most sheets are 2.5g)
¼ cup water
Just under 1 cup castor sugar
2 dessertspoons glucose syrup
2 small egg whites (or 1 ¾ whites if larger eggs)
1 dessertspoon of raspberry jam jelly (recipe above)

Method
Soak gelatine in cold water
Combine the sugar, water and glucose in a pot and heat to 130°C, remove from heat
Beat the egg whites to soft peaks
Drain the gelatine sheets, discard soaking water
Add softened gelatine and raspberry jelly to hot sugar mix, combine
While the mixer is running on low speed pour a steady stream of the sugar mix into the whites mix until well combined, stop before it has completely cooled or it will become gluggy and start to set. You are looking for a shaving foam consistency

To assemble

¼ cup desiccated coconut

With a piping bag and star nozzle, pipe the marshmallow on to the biscuits in a circle. Place a small dollop of jam on top and sprinkle with desiccated coconut
Leave to set
