  1. Plating wise:
    – differentiate the layers. The tartar and pecans (toasted? Anythinged? Seasoning?) should be in distinct layers.
    – Pecans could be crushed a little more evenly
    – take off those dill trees. Pick the tips – 3-5 for garnish, chop the rest up and put it through your beet for color and eye texture.
    – add some yellow beet for color
    – needs a sauce, vin, purée, something to liven up that plate
    – mango sphere looks fairly smooth, however slightly lumpy, maybe a slightly smaller (easier to keep the shape) in comparison to the ring mold you used.

    Looks like it has legs, keep at it chef!

  2. Does mango and dill go THAT well together? Seems like a lot of dill for that proportion. Maybe just one of those fronds well-picked would suffice?

  3. I would reduce the dill amount or at least not have it be huge sprigs. Other than that I would like some liquid to be incorporated in there, a gel or some kind of sauce, it looks very dry, specially being alone on the plate.

    Also your plate is not clean, there are specs all around your tartar and a few marks from the ring mold, you need to be more decisive and careful when lifting the ring. And always clean it up afterwards if you can. On the far right there it what looks like a tiny piece of thread on the dish.

    All in all it looks good and it should be fairly easy to perfect!

    I would choose a lighter herb than dill, chervil does wonders imo. Otherwise simple elegant plate! 👏

    I realize the sphere is going to act as a sauce, but the plate as is looks very dry. Too much green, and a vin for the beets for sure. It should be a juicy bite Chef, make it look juicy.

    thank you for your opinion and not just attacking ever since i mis read the title at the beginning of this that is what i was looking for and yes it would off set the look of the mango , so i would have to play with the sphere a little to change the color to make it more visually appealing

  7. Too much dill. Needs oil. Many people are saying this.

    However it also really needs to be more finely diced. Desperately. I can’t attest to the flavor of the mango but I’d rather it be egg?
