  1. I’m not a fan of the placement on the plate for the lamb and potato rose. I’d just worry they were gonna fall off and immediately push them toward the center without taking note of the rest of the presentation. Plus, it would be impossible to actually eat those on the edge like they are and I’d have to move everything in order to eat anything.

    I also think the cauliflower would do better to be plated with the main rather than with the salad. As is, it looks like I’m supposed to eat those together as a separate course and they don’t go together.

    I do actually like the placement of the salad. If the cauliflower mash was replaced with a zig-zag drizzle of bright dressing for the salad, I think that would be a lovely plate.

    I really like this style of plating but it’s the time I’ve noticed that food looks like it’s afraid of the sauce and backs itself into a corner as a flight response lol

    Beautiful plating, what would you improve if you did it again?

    Two thoughts I have – duck fat confit for the lamb w/ appropriate herbs in a sous vide to improve color and I think the salad dressing could be better incorporated, im sure the dressing is delicious but it seems an after thought, while the rest of the plate seems very intentional. Maybe using the smear technique from the first plate and aligning the beats with the sauce could create the color contrast to highlight the negative space.

  4. Assuming you’re looking for feedback. Nice swoosh. As others have said centre the lamb, which appears to be a bit overdone. I would lose the bed of arugula the lamb is sitting on move the cauliflower to the lamb/rose plate and start with the salad on a single plate.

    Feels forced. Compositional imbalance without return. Incongruent. I like the energy behind the attempt tho!

  6. Not a big fan of the lamb dish.

    – Lamb should be the center of the dish, not the sauce stripe. The lamb is cramped in the corner of your plate.
    – The rocket looks a bit dated and doesnt really serve a purpose here. If you want to add it to the plate season it a little with olive oil so its not dry.
    – Lamb is overcooked and uneven. Try a lower oven temp for more even cooking.
