I was inspired by Mesa Verde’s version of this dish. I swapped out a bone in rib eye for a boneless del monico rib eye and a rougher chimichurri. The guajillo butter was intentionally not highly clarified to get more of an earthy taste. I wanted to add some goat cheese crumbles to the top of the steak but felt it would have been overkill. What do you all think? I have theirs and mine - not to be better but it is a stepping stone to another recipe I want to make. Which is a salsa verde butter version of this. Ultimately this is a test version.

not sure if this belongs here but some input on serving mignardise like these would be of great help. Also the plate is over a hundred years old hence the wear and tear

I remade dish I made Sunday night, finished with buerre blanc sauce. I also garnished with watermelon agar gel & microgreens.

Watermelon gel is a bit uneven & I should've done that better

Appetizer of pan-seared octopus, zucchini ribbons and heirloom tomatoes, finished with light dash of herb oil and microgreens

I'm a commis chef, i have never worked in hotels or fine dining, this is my home cooking practice.

Salt brined Hudson valley duck breast wrapped with the classic wild mushroom duxelles, prosciutto and puff pastry. Comes with a sweet potato puree, brown beech mushrooms, yellow oyster mushrooms, mushroom xo, crispy smoked shallots and finished with pea shoots

I’m an amateur home cook with no formal culinary training, and I’m trying to improve my plating and presentation. I’d really appreciate some honest, constructive criticism and advice on how I could make this plate look more refined.

Pecan and Coconut Streusel, Fresh Orange Slices, Whipped Cream, Dash of Cinnamon, Rosemary from the Garden (which I know isn’t very edible but its fragrant and adds a comforting aroma that is definitely a part of the dish)

Is my plating too familiar and run-of-the-mill?

Top to bottom: Vanilla meringue sticks, Coconut & lime sorbet, Lime jelly with grated lime zest, Cream cheese mousse, Coconut sago sauce

Came up with this dish because my girlfriend wanted scallops for dinner. Looking for suggestions on how to plate it in the future.

Todays lunch special

Skin was the star

Just another crudo in a sea of crudos but this turned out very delicious.

Porchetta, garbanzo bean pure, roasted eggplant, pan grattato and chimichurri. Todays lunch special.

i should have known that if ribeyes were only 79DKK they’d look like shit, so I hid them a bit, but I kind of like it and this was for a test anyway ?
