On the menu? Burrata cheese wrapped in prosciutto, heirloom tomato salad, ahi tuna and giant head-on prawns grilled in a curry aioli, and for the main course…burgers of course. For dessert, Tourondel whipped up a Campfire Milkshake with burnt marshmallows and ice cream. Now when are we going to see items like that on Marriott menus?

So far, the new blog is averaging about one post per month, but that hopefully that will get back up to the once-weekly rate of previous incarnations…and hopefully Chef Nelson will begin including recipes again too, so we can try fixing some fancy banquets for ourselves at home.

Still not enough kitchen time for you? Follow Chef Nelson’s Twitter to hear about his globetrotting escapades, equipment trials and kitchen visitors that include other chefs like Bradley Ogden and Eric Ripert.

We’ll be eagerly watching to see how the new incarnation of the blog develops, but we’re already giving Nelson props for his great pictures and the enthusiastic detail of his descriptions.
