Balloon : helium, green apple

[Anonymous Modernist 4141]

Hi, If you haven't checked this wonderful edible balloon at Alinea check this out :

 

But I was wondering... What's the "Balloon base" ? And how to make the thread ? Do you know if there is any recipe or anything that explains it ? I heard that the thread is dehydrated apple but not how they make the balloon base... Have a great weekend RG

Hi Raphael,

Thanks for the link. That's really cool. Unfortunately, we haven't done this ourselves. You'll have to ask the folks at Alinea if they are willing to divulge their secrets!
