Sourdough Rose Doughnut, Lemon Basil Coconut Sorbet, Raspberry Coulis, fresh berries. The dish is completely vegan! My creation going on the menu soon.

  1. It’s a really beautiful plating. I guess the final verdict would depend on the texture and flavor of the donut. But the whole effect is great.

    Beautiful. Truly. Fantastic colors and great composition.

    Is it important that it’s vegan, though?

  3. I like this. The off-center positioning works while the donut remains the focus. A bit puzzled about the “balloons,” I hope that wasn’t just to fill up the remaining space on the plate. Like the plate’s colored rim, it complements the colors in the dish.

  4. I love the entirety of this plate except for the physical plate itself. It’s just that your sorbet blends and ends up looking like a blank spot on the plate at first. I think an off-white plate would do your dish a favor.

  5. So beautiful and sounds so lovely.

    As I was reading the description, I was thinking “oh this could totally be vegan”, then I completed reading the title and I was all “this is totally vegan!!!”

    Love it!

    Edit: downvote all you want you fragile egoed snowflakes. Sorry not sorry that it hurts your feels to become aware of the simple fact that abusing animals is not necessary.

    If it hurts you so much to become aware of this simple fact of life that you feel the need to downvote a comment simply because it contains the word “vegan”, you should really go spend some alone time exploring your feels.

    Gonna have to agree with everyone else here: no need for the sauce on the side. Less is more. Either way, looks beautiful.

  7. This is beautiful!! That’s a totally awesome vegan dessert in comparison to some I’ve seen at restaurants.

    I agree with the others the balloons aren’t needed! I also like the idea of it being on a darker plate (think slate gray) so all of your colors pop. Unless you colored your sorbet to be a light green (to go with the flavor but also to pop on the plate).
    I also toss all my fresh berries in a simple syrup so they “pop” on the plate. I love the off centered- ness. The negative space is beautiful and justified.

    I would also get rid of the fresh mint leaves. I’ve done a dish similar and you could do a mint isomalt. Gives a great pop a color and still the flavor

    This would be great in an art gallery, but unfortunately it’s not abstract expressionism. It’s food to be eaten. Keep the subject towards the centre of the canvas so diners don’t have to think about why their circle has sides.

    Just a nitpicky thing for me, but I’ve never been a big fan of mint as a mandatory garnish on desserts. I feel like you could use small fresh basil leaves here, as that’s a flavor already present in the dish and it’d still give the same look as the mint leaves. The other thing is, aside from the leaves, the sorbet should be the last thing to go down on the plate. It looks here like you put the sauce droplets on after you plated the sorbet and so there’s some sauce that dripped onto the sorbet as well. It’d give a cleaner look to not have that happen. I also have to agree with everyone about the sauce balloons being unnecessary. Overall this looks fantastic though!

  10. Thanks for the comments everyone! I took your advice and replated but I can’t figure out how to post a picture in the comments..

    Funny though, it’s really just a donut with some fruit scattered around it in a pretty way and a scoop of sorbet.

    Tip if you wanna do a smear with a somewhat flowing sauce.
    Add some bigg drops to the plate and instead of smearing it , pick up the plate and let gravity do the rest. Not only they look good but also they look clean
