hmmm that chequerboard icecream is not JUST licorice...from interview with the chef and what he says about his signature chequerboard icecream dish: "When I attempt a dish, I look for an instinctive harmony that exists between things. I look for the thread, the juxtaposition, the contrast; the link in palate that joins, say, the pineapple, the licorice and the star anise in my chequerboard icecream, for example. I've always tried to do this very carefully." More interview with the chef here
