It’s somehow strangely perfect. Nicely done!
I like it, i personally believe that a lot of chefs take themselves WAY too seriously, this dish is playful and might even be poking fun at overly composed dishes. Although (oil and garlic?) long pasta on a plate is slightly questionable.
Oh my what a riot of color. It’s absolutely beautiful!
I do like your idea and that pic looks cool. But, that’s not going to be enjoyable to eat.
There’s not enough of the sauces to compliment the amount chicken and pasta.
Ye pasta was a bad choice
I love that’s an actual dinner sized portion
The chicken looks like it could do with a few minutes less cooking.
No need to say red pepper harissa. Harissa is made with red peppers. It’s like saying ATM machine. It’s a tautology.
I’d also pick one herb, and use that in the sauce and garnish. You’ve got the devils herb in the sauce, then fresh parsley, dill and oregano(?) on top. Just pick one, or make a salsa verde with a blend of them all.
Maybe even use that herb blend as the sauce for the pasta?
All that aside, I’d give this a red hot go
Really pretty but I cannot imagine enjoying lemon, blueberry, harissa, and cilantro with fennel frond, parsley and oregano stem. You could add more sauce to the pasta so it would eat better, and back off on the time since you pushed your chicken over. The tomatoes could be roasted as raw sliced cherry tomatoes in February is kinda meh.
What a great plate. Of course other commentators are correct that it’s too dry though. Nothing adding a pan sauce or lots of evoo can’t fix. Will make the painting harder but you seem to have that skill in spades!
Bravo.
The blood-splatter effect is very off-putting for me. It just looks sloppy all over the edge of the plate/bowl. Also – blueberry, harissa and cilantro sound like they might not work well together. When I saw the pic, I thought the blueberry might be mole.
Worry less about sauces and more about chicken cookery
Should have made fish and called it Sydney Pollock
Looks like the plate was dropped causing the splatter
Chicken looks dry and the plating is way too much.
Looks great, but seems like you’re running before walking with this one. As others have mentioned, the composition and ratio of your sauces and such are a bit off. For me, the biggest detractor is the chicken; it should be perfectly done as it’s the star (and because chicken is a relatively easy protein).
To end on a positive note, the color choice, visual density, and visual textures are all really nice.
I do love the plate though. It could be super refined. I might steal it and play around!
Apparently “lol” isn’t enough characters to post. So here’s more characters.
Scorch the tomatoes and cook your chicken less, it looks dryer than the eczema on my elbow.
This is fun, but you need much much more sauce to bring it home.
