Stepping Into NEW Food Era:

Today, I made my first purchase order for Ultratex 3 (Modified Tapioca Starch). Ultratex 3 i a high performance cold water swelling modified food starch derived from tapioca. It exhibits many of the properties of cooked starch and possesses a very bland flavor profile with good mouth melt away characteristics. 

It can be used to thicken liquids without the application of heat.

I am excited to bring this use of food into some of my recipes and cooking class. 

Will play with in the world of my BBQ sauces, have some REALLY crazy ideas for some fruit BBQ sauces and Glazes.

will keep you posted!
