  1. Visually stunning. I wonder, however, if placing the caviar on top of the tuile would elevate the dish even more?
    Not a pro, so take that with a grain of salt.

  2. Looks great! For my personal taste, I think the pea shoots (?) detract rather than add. I also wonder about the asparagus — it’s annoying that the spears vary in thickness and that, short of creating tons of waste, not much can be done about that. Could you arrange the asparagus segments so they collectively create a square? That would take attention away from the uneven thickness, I think.

    That’s a Japanese kaiseki plating rule, btw. Round plates want square shapes (and vice versa).

    Man, this is gorgeous. And it’s more striking than a lot of the (very nice) plates on here for me because it’s so harmonious. The colours, circular tuile, circular placing of the asparagus and the circular bowl really do it for me. And the pea tendrils actually work for me.
    Super cool mate

    Love love love this. A few people didn’t enjoy the pea sprouts, but to be honest it looks like a garland, and I love the repetition of different forms of circles – bowl, garland, asparagus, caviar and the tuille, which last links it all with the repeating motif.

    Incredible. Do you have any tips for lighting when taking photos of dishes? Or was this a professional job that’s more or less unachievable by someone without photography skills?
