Syrniki with Macerated Strawberries, Whipped Maple Cream and Siberian Pine Cone Jam
Anya: "So I made a traditional syriniki with fresh cheese from Canadian milk, macerated strawberries, and then a whipped maple syrup. And on top here, it's a traditional Siberian jam pine cone. And you really taste the forest."
Judges
"Look at a little tiny pine cone on top. That's cute. Have you ever eaten one of these, Tom? Delicous."
"What did you think of the pancake?"
"I like this a lot. Pine's delicious. I like the little bit of lemon, you know, in the background. It tastes like cheesecake, which is interesting."
Danial Boulud: "I'm stealing this idea. I'm gonna put cheesecake in my pancake."
"The pine cone was a trip. I've never eaten something that reminded me so much of a smell."
"The syrniki, it's the kind of dish, like, if your lover brought this to you, you'd be very happy."
"Yes."
