Just a quick gelatine tip for today. When working with leaf gelatine, before melting to use in a recipe, you must first soak the leaves in water. The colder your water the less your gelatine will break apart as it soaks leaving you with many little bits of gelatine to wring dry. I put the sheets in a bowl and cover then with the coldest tap water I can get and then even add a few ice cubes. Since I started this, I have never had a sheet break apart during blooming.
