[QUOTE="misschef, post: 2003170, member: 726668"] This is a term thrown around in food preparation. It's "chef speak" for re-creating a dish. When we talk about "deconstructing" that means to take the original recipe to a new level. Literally, taking it apart and putting it back together again. Example: New England Clam Chowder. There is a basic recipe and there are variations on the theme. You can vary the basic recipe to make it your own, but to deconstruct means to go out of the box. Perhaps a creamy seafood chowder with braised fennel and chunks of fried chorizo. or maybe adding steamed artichokes and spinach see what I mean? I hope so [/QUOTE]
