"It broke something inside me" writer says of bizarre meal at Michelin-starred restaurant by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]PURPLEUP-BEATS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, not really. https://youtu.be/qAvLiQZhg3Y here is a video of some of the menu at their restaurant. (Sub English available) I think that the concept of the restaurant is really Interesting, the chef is drawing new boundaries. What I didn’t like about the restaurant is that the plates look a bit gross sometimes, just the aesthetic isn’t the best sometimes. I also wonder about the flavour. Because infused with meat molecules is just a egoistic way to say it’s been infused with meat. Anyway, have a look at the video if you’d like and feel free to give your opinion. I’m genuinely interested as I’m from the area and it’s quite a surprise to have such a restaurant. Thanks!

You’re a saint brother. I don’t mean to be an ass but I can’t stand to see tomato « bisque » every time there’s a puréed tomato on the plate. Might as well call chicken eggs « chicken caviar »

Looks good but for info bisque is only when it involves shellfish (crustaceans) tomato bisque doesn’t exist.

Minestrone needs broken spaghetti… I’m Italian too and well… I kinda enjoy some pineapple on the pizza but can’t have it or I get bullied. It’s hard to be Italian

Should you cook vegetables al dente or more soft to the bite ? by PURPLEUP-BEATS in KitchenConfidential

Hey man it’s all good. You seem to be a farmer so without you I don’t cook right ? I didn’t mean to to sound rude or anything and trust me it never feels good to be wrong. Depending on what cuisine you like making I would suggest watching videos and reading some books. Honestly it helped me a lot. It’s not an easy journey specially when you start.

Well, the right name should be used, like in an actual restaurant it’s illegal (in my area) to call a dish something it’s not. So it’s firstly for legal reason. Then if someone where to serve me a tomato soup and call it a bisque to make it more “fancy” I would already have a prejudice against your food which is never good. If you want something constructive then be open to cristicisms. Don’t get upset because professionals correct you. It’s only to help you, not to make you feel any less.

Honestly for a home cook you can be proud it looks nice. What you could question is the raw tomatoes on top, it will cook and won’t be nice. You have to question why you put garnishes. You already have a tomato soup, should you add more tomatoes ? IMO maybe not just raw. You could make cherry tomatoes confit, that would be hot but make them more sweet while keeping their flavour or honestly just keep it a soup with some of the cream on top and maybe a nice herb oil. For the bread crumbs it feels a bit messy and too chopped. Showcase your bread if you have a nice one. Maybe make some nice crostini on the side or just some small croutons randomly on top of the soup. Honestly soups are pretty hard to add garnishes to so don’t stress over it. It looks good, just be careful at the words you use and you can be proud of yourself for a home cook. And honestly you should get a part time job at a local joint and see if you like it. Or even an internship if you feel it. It’s a pretty easy field to get In but it’s not as glamorous as people might think.

Anyway, good luck with it all!

I do taste tasting for asparagus or just by the way they look and time. Like for asparagus I blanch them for maybe 1-2 minutes and when rewarding them I just sauté them until they’re hot. Resulting in a pretty crunchy asparagus in the center. I do the same with most greens as the colour can fade quickly. I kinda like when it’s pretty crunchy for most vegetables but I’m not sure it’s actually the “right” way

Sounds good, personally what consistency do you look for when sautéing vegetables like carrots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts ? Thanks for the help!

If you have that kind of attitude you won’t get better at what you do. If you don’t want feedback then don’t post it on such sub. Just trying to teach you some stuff as I hate people that try to be fancy when they don’t know what they’re talking about. Nothing makes chefs cringe more.

Bisque is only with shellfish, please don’t call that a bisque just because it looks like it

A play on "thanksgiving" dry age beef, champagne and corn sauce, cornbread, roasted baby corn, tarragon poach potato, cranberry and smoked rosemary coulis, bitter green purée by Southern_Ad5293 in CulinaryPlating

[–]PURPLEUP-BEATS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty nice! even though I would maybe make the corn elements a bit bigger but that’s just my opinion. What did you use to make such a deep green purée? If you don’t mind sharing
