Recipe Testing: Lemon Basil Mascarpone Mousse Torte


Recipe testing is something like a rough draft. It must be done over and over until the recipe is just right. On occasion, you will get it on the first try, which is a fantastic feeling, but this does not happen frequently. All components must be fitting: flavor, texture, physical appearance, and so forth. Thus, recipe testing requires patience, perseverance and time. Although this recipe came out good, it still is not quite there. More basil flavor and mascarpone richness is needed. The texture will need some desirable changes as well, the mouth feel is just not there.  Adaptations must be made and the process will be completed again. 



Physically, the appearance of this torte was not completely what I was going for. My desired style is rustic meets modern. The torte still came out beautiful and received positive feedback, so I am a happy little lady.

Onward with the recipe testing we go.
