Did it taste as good as it looks?
How easy/difficult is the Spherification kit to use, what else have you made with it?

The Mojito was lovely, but possibly only because the Lambs Spiced is awesome; nothing like that Morgans rubbish. If you have not tried it, do so immediately! The fish was good, justa little twist on the standard lemon and salt, Bloody Lasagne needed more Tabasco, but Mrs Oilydan doesn't like it too spicy.Did it taste as good as it looks?

The spherification process is simple, mix your 'cordial' with one packet, water with the other and drip with pippette. Scoop and rinse after a minute. Easy and very effective.

I read a blurb on the Lakeland 'molecular malarky' in the Mail - but wasn't convinced to part with £50. Balls look impressive...but I'm not into the chemical bath to make them.
I think the sperification kit is about 15 quid and come with sachets for 3 goes. Although, with access to an analytical balance you can half the packets as there is no need to make the full 200ml up. I used less than a quarter.The 'chemicals' are atually pretty natural, one is derived from seaweed and the other is just calcium.
I has a play with the leftovers and made a single ball about 1 inch in diameter. Like a spiced rum poached egg!

It looks great. Would be fun for desserts & cocktails. But I'm not sure I'd make the most of it. Great stocking filler gift though.
