Jason Tan once again surprises with his second creation in a series of three designed for a global audience—with special attention to the Asian market—: the Strawberry, Lemon, and Basil Tartlet. Jason tells us that, from his personal taste, he is passionate about working with flavors such as strawberry and basil; as he achieves a refreshing and elegant contrast, where the sweet, the acidic, and the herbaceous are balanced with technical attention.
This recipe unfolds several layers of complexity: it begins with a basil and lemon gel, made with Adamance purée, which provides aromatic freshness and a light gelatinous texture. Added to this is a strawberry compote, prepared with Pectin Fruit NH, which provides body, a velvety sensation, and stability without losing the pure flavor of the strawberry. The strawberry rocks with Maltosec serve as a crunchy and visual contrast, breaking the overall smoothness.
But perhaps the most outstanding aspect is the spherification technique with Adamance strawberry purée—a stable sphere, ready to withstand even oven temperatures—which adds surprise and elegance to the whole. The balance between these components—gel, compote, rock, spheres—makes this tart a complete proposition for those who value technical precision and also harmony in flavors.

The solution lies in Gellan Gum, a thermo-reversible gelling agent that allows the cherry and raspberry jelly to remain stable even at […]
