The Art of From-Scratch Cooking:
At Do & Co, the art of cooking is revered, and every dish is crafted from scratch. Fresh produce takes center stage, ensuring that each meal is a symphony of flavors. While some staples like mayo and ketchup are used, they are transformed into culinary masterpieces, enhancing the umami and creaminess of the fare.
The Tomato Salsa Revelation:
A testament to their dedication, Do & Co takes their tomato salsa seriously. Prepared over a painstaking five-hour process, it boasts just four ingredients: fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and white pepper. The result? A salsa that transcends expectations, embodying simplicity at its finest.
Panna Sauce:
Elegance in Simplicity: For Italian-inspired creations, the Panna sauce is a marvel. With only three ingredients - fresh cream, salt, and pepper - this sauce undergoes a slow-cooking alchemy that extracts natural richness. This dedication to simplicity underscores Do & Co's commitment to authentic, unadulterated flavors.
Jus:
Elevating the Ordinary to Extraordinary: Jus, the crown jewel of gravies, is another testament to Do & Co's culinary prowess. Crafted from roasted fresh vegetables, bones, and select cuts of meat, the process spans an astonishing 48 hours. This slow reduction transforms 300 liters into 30 liters of liquid gold. I would say black diamond if it is exit. Creating a flavor profile that is nothing short of sublime.
