The Mentor, The Pumpkin
Chef Tom: "The name of the dish is The Mentor, The Pumpkin. It's a very light ginger and turmeric mousse. Inside is a pumpkin and carrot chutney. Eat it with your hands. There's a lot of different flavors on the bottom. When you eat it, your finger should go different layers of mousse."
Padma Lakshi: "Very interesting."
Tom Colicchio: "Flavor wise, I think this is fascinating. In each layer, you get a hit of ginger, and then a hit of fruit. The only problem I have is that the mousse is not well made at all - it's broken."
Gail Simmons: "And the gel at the bottom was falling apart."
Gaggan Anand: "I loved the way Tom presented the dish, but it needed a solid base or something to hold it."
