NOTES : From Chef Susan Weaver of Fifty-Seven, Fifty-Seven in the Four
Seasons Hotel. As executive chef of the Four Seasons Hotel, Susan Weaver is
one of New York's preeminent female chefs. In 1987, while working as
executive sous-chef at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago, she was the only woman
to compete in the Bocuse d'Or in Lyon, France, where she place in the top
10. The following year she was the only female finalist in the 22-year
history of the Prix Culinaire International Pierre Taittinger in Paris.
Thrilled to be working in New York, she describes her evolving style of
cooking as "progressive and eclectic" and her restaurant as "a very
luxurious American grill." Chef's note. "I serve this gazpacho with a
rice-paper roll filled with julienned vegetables. To make it: Soak the rice
paper in cold water until pliable, about 2 minutes. Fill with chiffonade of
romaine, basil, and mint and julienned carrots and jicama. Roll the paper
and slice. Use 3 slices as a garnish for the soup."
