Porchetta w/ butternut squash puree, sauteed kale, smoked grapes and red wine bordelaise. Thoughts?
Found some extra porchetta in the freezer after inventory. Stuffed with prosciutto and pesto. Added Dijon, honey and herb butter to the puree. Cold smoked grapes with Applewood.
Looks pretty good although I dont like the bourdelaise on the top of the porchetta and i dont like the two mounds of kale grapes

Looks like a tasty dish, just don’t cover up your protein with sauce and it would look even better!

Dont put sauce on top as others said, keep the salad in one spot, looks weird seperating it like that. Also ditch the baby food and go with roasted butternut instead. Or even better would be a couple slices of acorn squash

Smoked grapes? How fun ya, the plating people have made suggestions. I’m a separatist and definitely like to control what’s on my fork. But that being said …I think the plate doesn’t look that bad. Mostly because all that goes together so well. I’d love to have someone hand me this plate of comfort food. 2 wads of kale n all. Have fun. Keep it crispy.

my assessment is similar to everyone else’s: less butternut down in a more circular smear, pork down in the pocket of the smear, one pile of kale leaning up against it, bordelaise around the edges of it all, not on top(looks way better on the plate than on the food) grapes wherever u want they are so so cute.
think about shapes more. the porchetta is a circle and you’re putting it in the middle of two intersecting ovals. you’ve got the right idea with the bordelaise spiral, but the puree & salad make it look awkward.

I’m completely untrained aside from watching reality tv cooking (lol as I said, untrained) and while this looks yummy af it also reminds me of a planet in our solar system.

Why two piles of veg? Smear puree in a swoop, stack veg, angle protein on veg, garnish. Good colours though.

Looks good but too much sauce for me. Plating is 7/10. Would eat it because it looks appetizing as someone who is not a professional chef. Just a regular plating enjoyer.
