Method
Orange flower yoghurt
Add the orange blossoms to the cold milk and leave to infuse for 12 hours. Strain and then bring to the boil to sterilise the milk.
Pour into a bowl and leave to cool to 13c in a cold bain-marie. Meanwhile, mix the yoghurt, milk powder and orange flower water in a small bowl. Add to the milk, once it has cooled to the right temperature. Strain before pouring into the pots. Leave to ferment for 8 hours. Chill before serving.
Carrot jelly
Soak the gelatine strips in icy water. Gently heat a small amount of carrot juice and incorporate the gelatine. Mix until it has melted and then pour onto the remaining carrot juice. Season. Keep refrigerated.
Carrot emulsion
Peel and finely chop the carrots. In a saucepan, cook the carrots in the carrot juice for 15 minutes without reducing the juice too much. Blend to a fine consistency using a thermomix. For 500g of purée, add 4 pre-soaked gelatine strips. Season and then fill the syphon. Use two cartridges to pressurize and then refrigerate.
Carrot ribbons
Peel and finely slice the carrots using a japanese mandolin. Soak in icy water for added crunch. Drain and keep refrigerated.
To serve
To serve, mix the yoghurt with a dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Be careful not to work it too much so as to retain its creamy texture. Keep refrigerated. Carefully remove the centre of the jelly using a 7cm cutter. Apply the carrot emulsion to the centre of the plate making a nice dome shape. Pour the yoghurt over the top of the carrot jelly and then carefully and equally arrange the carrot ribbons seasoned with the vinaigrette. Decorate by dotting carrot juice and olive oil in the yoghurt then add the voatsiperifery powder.
