Orange soufflé
The basis is thickened with potato starch which gives the soufflé its sturdiness. Serve the soufflé as quickly as possible after removing it from the oven, as the cold air will cause the dessert to collapse. Creation by Jonnie Boer, Librije's Atelier, Zwolle, the Netherlands. Makes 575g.
