Episode 804: Shiso & Tomatoes

Guest Chef: Michel Nischan
When one thinks about the perfect mate for tomatoes, basil always comes to mind.  But with today’s East-West pair Ming takes flavors a step further and pairs them with basil’s Japanese relative- shiso, starting with a soup that shines in the summer- ‘Gazpacho’ with Shiso Oil.   Then Ming reinvents his Italian side with Tomato and Tea Smoked Mozzarella and his Lightest-Ever Olive Oil Angel Hair Pasta.  Finally, chef activist, Michel Nischan, will join us to shake things up with his spin on our master pair with his Heirloom Grain “Risotto".
